Having never seen this watch in the metal, the first thing that amazed me was the shine and finish of the bracelet and that absolutely amazing blue dial that these pictures, nor any other pictures I've seen has been able to capture. There is so much depth to it and it truly does look like a different shade of blue depending on the angle you look at it
My concern all this time was that the 41mm plus the integrated bracelet would mean that the watch wore ridiculously big on me but after having the bracelet sized, I think it is a very good fit. I have measured my wrist before and the circumference is 7 inches, although that surprised me as I always thought my wrists were tiny The only minor gripe I have is that the rotor is fairly free spinning and quite loud. Just a little flick of the wrist sends it spinning a couple rotations and it is quite audible. Any other overseas owners notice this? Haven't tried any of the other bracelet options yet but they may help the watch wear smaller as the first link of the integrated bracelet is limited to a 45 degree angle. I'm not sure when I'll try them as this bracelet is gorgeous and so comfortable. Each of the links wrap perfectly around your wrist for a snug fit I'm absolutely delighted with this purchase and can see it becoming my only watch, although someone has recently turned my head to the ming 19.02 world timer Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk |

I own the blue Overseas three-hand and a 6.75 inch wrist, and the fit is perfect. Good wrist presence without being too big. I’d say it wears like a 42mm on the bracelet, so if you can rock, say, a Speedy Pro, you’ll be fine. Switch the VC to the rubber or gator straps and it wears a little smaller.
This is by far my favorite modern watch, competing with a couple of Rolexes, including a white gold Daytona OF. The overall finish on VC is insane, the movement detail and gold rotor visible through the case back are a work of art, and that stunning blue dial has got to be the prettiest dial of any watch by any brand. It goes from navy to turquoise, depending on the lighting, and the main minute ring twinkles in the sun like jewels. It's certainly not too bright in most lighting, and is mostly a darker blue, but it does light up in the sun, becoming almost an electric blue, which is part of the appeal because of the variation. Just an amazing timepiece. Here are all three strap options, and changing them is by far the easiest, quickest strap swap you'll ever do because of the ingenious connection system. |

I’ve never seen a photo that does the VC overseas blue dial justice - these are pretty close though - great pictures

Many thanks! It's a very photogenic watch, but you're right, capturing the true beauty of that blue dial is a little difficult. I'd say the shot with the gator strap is a true representation of the dial in low to normal indoor lighting, and the others are in brighter light, including direct sunlight. In person, it's even better, of course.

Those are some top notch pictures. Probably close to, if not the best, I have seen.

I’m right there with you....this one of the best, if not the best, all around modern sports watches. It feels like it was designed from the ground up to be the best all around sports watch it could possibly be.

I love the interchangeable straps and find myself changing daily. The bracelet is so elegantnand I often find myself just staring at it and admiring the level of finishing and the rubber just completely changes the look the watch and is so comfortable
Have to say, not really a big fan of the leather. It seems as if it is leather stitched onto some other material and thus, feels a little bit plastic . I know that you can order custom straps from the boutique so I wonder if they will be able to make a full leather one Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk |

Due to the flexibility of the material, the rubber “straps down” a bit more than the others. The bracelet does have a decent span, as the end links don’t fully angle down. But then again, every link is removable from the bracelet. So depending on the shape of your wrist, it may be a total non issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Great thread! I thought this watch might be too large for my 7” wrist. Now I‘m convinced otherwise. I want this watch now lol

I always loved this watch but never tried to even check it out because I thought it would be huge (6.3/6.5 here) and yet here I am. With those mighty 7's, you are gold! Do go to see it on your wrist. It made sense over every other watch right away for me.

It is difficult to get any color in most places in asia. The blue is the worst in terms of trying to get one.. I have heard from posters here that us and Europe is much easier Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk |

I’ve a rule that I rotate my watches regularly and if it ends up that I don’t wear one, I sell them as I don’t believe in safe queens. Because of that rule my VC is having a rest and strangely I’m missing it big time! A bit sad maybe but true. That’s the Allie of this watch though - considering I’ve a white 116500, ceramic Pepsi and skydweller among other watches, that is saying something.

Was in Vegas over the weekend, the VC boutique has a black dial 3 hander overseas in stock. It was my first time trying it on in person, it definitely didn't feel too big on my 6.75" wrist. Wasn't in love with the dial, was actually a bit underwhelmed in person. They had a blue tourbillon so I was able to see the blue dial, the depth was incredible. Sub $20k I think the watch is hard to beat, otherwise for a few more dollars I much prefer my AP.
