Rolex Daytona vs Vacheron Constantin Overseas

[Benzsiam]

Rose gold VC Chrono definitely better than SS Daytona and the price is a lot higher also.

If you want to pay high value timepiece, I would rather go for Rose gold AP 26331OR with full bracelet, it sure looks gorgeous.

I agree they look beautiful but every time I try to love an RO I just don’t like it on my wrist. Think it is the shape.

I know you decided to go Rolex ... congratulations

IMHO, this is the VC of choice. I had tried it on last year (before lockdown). It's beautiful in real life, wears larger as others have mentioned, and to my eye is easier to read YMMV.

Good taste. I just ordered this one from VC. 1-2 weeks.

From the beginning I didn't like the octagonal shape that much but after looking at them more and more, I turn to love them so much. It looks so elegant especially with the bracelet.

You have such a great collection, so wear the one that bring a big smile on your face.

Ohhh yes !!

Looking at what greys want for a daytona right now... Its getting to AP money and Rolex isn't in the same galaxy as far as heavy hitter'ness.

I was .. I was there and decided.. then I changed my mind I do this a lot at the time of a watch purchase it’s all part of the fun :)

The Rolex I bought is a pretty special one I’m yet to pick it up but will post an incoming :)

Oh wow! Thanks for posting this. What a beautiful deep black.

I love that the interior ring of the recessed sub dials is polished. So many subtle attention to detail things to discover.

I love the watch and would buy it in a second if it were just sub-40mm. As it stands it is just waaayyyyy too big for me.

Good call. That VC chrono is a gorgeous watch, especially the reverse Panda, but man, it's big, thick and heavy.

I had a couple chances to buy one at the NYC boutique, and tried to talk myself into it, but it was just too darn big and thick for my 6.75-inch wrist. (The VC Overseas three-hand version is the one to get, especially with the stunning blue dial.)

The VC 4500V doesn't have hacking seconds and the date change seems weird(not instant change).

[Roger Lococco]

I think I would go for this new one instead.

If they made the VC smaller I’d prefer that. However I’d rather have the Daytona.

[destrodan]

I had the 4500V blue dial for a time - it's nice enough but didn't last long. The micro-extensions on each side of the clasp kept popping to the extended position (push-in, pull-out friction-based) - it drove me nuts. And I didn't have much faith in the strength of the quick-change connectors, especially when thinking about that heavy bracelet pulling year after year (not that I've ever heard of it failing).

YMMV.

I'm old fashioned.

Sports watch: Rolex.
Dress watch: VC.

I own a VC and it's not the most rugged.

The only downside with the Daytona for me is it just wears a little too small. And I know that's personal preference...but I like its aesthetics better than the VC which I do think is more of a dress watch.

At "Market Value", the VC.

I prefer the Daytona for its heritage. Prefer the Overseas for it's objectively superior package. At the same price (market) would lead Overseas. At MSRP, the Daytona is a great value.

great point!
