The blue dial is quite dark and matte; not the sunburst that is so popular, but I think the subdued tone will help to keep the watch under the radar.
Look’s perfect on your wrist! Congratulations!

Looks really nice, congratulations! The bracelet has micro adjustment capability. I think about 2-3 mm on each side. Maybe you can try to remove 1 more link and pull out the micro adjustment on both sides to see if you can get the right fit.

I don't have one but I do have several other straps from Delugs. Very reputable company as far as I am concerned.

Thanks, yes Delugs was one of the options, but wondering if there are any other good options out there. Searching internet I've found a company named Helvetus. I understand it's Swiss company producing straps - they have a strap which is 3 times cheaper than Delugs. Anyone have experience using their straps?

I would highly recommend Vagenari. They make good quality straps.

Any in here who has both an overseas and a royal oak, would you mind comparing the two? If you could have only one, which one would it be? Currently in this fantastic predicament.

i have both. both are different watches (15500st and 7900v)
Royal Oak bracelet is a clear winner and the polished is very sharp

VC overseas i have is the version with the older bracelet, the newer tapered bracelet should wear better.
my overseas is on rubber strap permanently.
VC overseas is more versatile with 3 strap options

for me, they are both very different watches. good to have them both..

if i do have to choose one, i will go with Royal Oak because of the entire look.

Need a quick sanity check for 3rd gen VCO owners. Assuming you purchased from VC or a AD, how many links did your respective bracelet come with?

Thanks in advance
