Vacheron Overseas Chrono on 6.25 inch





Tried this on at the AD. A little chunky and I believe this is 42.5? What do you guys think?


Didn't get the chance to try the 41mm Overseas self winding..

Ultimately up to you, but looks too large on your wrist (imho).

All that matters is how it feels to you on the wrist. The 3 hander feels more comfortable to me.

Beautiful watch. The close up pics do look a bit large. It's a SD43 sized watch and in some dimensions it is larger.

That said, you could wear it on the rubber and get away with it. The bracelet flare is tipping the scale.

41mm will be better. This is beautiful but I am afraid will be too large.

Dual Time is 41mm, same as the 3 hander right? Haven't got the chance to try it yet.

Yeah that's right, but it's 2mm thicker and hence does sit differently. You'll know when you try.

OP, there is Silver dial 3 hander in the MBS Boutique (assuming you are in Singapore) if you need to try it on and compare (it was there yesterday when I dropped by).

A bit large for you bro. But it also depends what other kind of watches you typically wear.

change it to leather strap or rubber strap.
it will fit better.

the steel bracelet will make it more protruding.

This.

The watch is wearing the OP rather than the other way around.

It’s an incredible watch. If you want one with presence, go for it! Otherwise it is big (but that could be fun to wear/different!)

Based on your picture, it seems like your sweet spot is 36mm. The Overseas is going to be too big, any of those 3 models. Maybe try the 37mm.

I think this is a watch for wrist-size of 7 inch+. Perhaps if you have a very flat wrist you can pull it off with a slightly smaller wrist. It obviously matter proportionally how big the rest of your arm is.

I'm a gym guy so I have big guns and my wrist is 7 inch, this is what the watch looks like on my wrist. Everyone's preferences obviously different but I think I can just about pull it off. The 41mm Overseas looks slightly small on my wrist..

Great watch. But look at it from the side, if there is gap between lug and wrist, then its a little too big.

I have a 6.5" wrist and the one that fit me was the first generation chronograph (49140). I'd look into that if you want a VC chronograph

I don't think you should go by close up photos, the watches always look bigger. Get a sales assistant to take a photo from 2/3 meters away with your arm at a right angle, then make a decision.
Btw I agree the 3 hander is a better looking watch, I am always drawn to the black dial one.

I think close up wrist shots always make the watch look bigger. I have a VCO on my 6.75" wrist that's a great fit.
