Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time in the wild, WOW!!!

[Catatafish]

A couple of weeks ago I'm sitting in the Charlotte, NC airport terminal, packed to the gills, and out of the corner of my eye something caught my attention. I look up and ten meters away a man is approaching to sit across from me in the last seat available. I was immediately drawn to his wrist but couldn't make out what is was yet. As he sat down I recognized the maltese bezel but had to google which model as VC was never really on my radar. The Overseas Dual Time, 7900/7920.

Wow, I couldn't take my eyes off it. This is one of those where pictures don't do justice. Now after looking at many of them on websites, I can't even remember what color it was he was wearing but I want to say the blue.

Registered my interest and had a very nice chat with Danielle, the corporate concierge. Great chat with her although I'm sure I'm in for a "years to never" wait unless my wife suddenly wants a precious metal his/hers to go along with it.

No point to this story really other than to share how awestruck I was and that if you ever have an opportunity to drop by a VC boutique, do yourself a favor and hope there is one on display somewhere or being worn by an employee.

Hell yeah. To see one is to respect one.

Danielle's great btw. Sold me my 222 and Cornes de Vache.

I think that market availability is much better and you will hear something this year.

I was in VC yesterday and was told the wait for overseas was 3-4 years….

I visited a VC boutique a couple of months back here in Seoul.
They told be it would be 1-2 yrs for the blue dial, 1-2 mos for the white, and pretty much right away for the black. When I visited, they had a black dial that was spoken for...but the SA told me they don't have a waitlist for the black and I would get the next one that came in (which would have been a week or so).

Congratulations on taking the first step to success :)
