Thoughts on vacheron constantin

I have been interested in purchasing a Vacheron for a while now and stoped into the store today in Beverly Hills. What does everyone think of the Overseas Dual Time? I really liked this watch when on! Picture from the store below.

I like it but it’s the Overseas World Time that has lately caught my eye...

I tried that watch on over New Years on Rodeo. I think I’ll eventually get it. Beautiful!

I like the model in general and for the dual time I prefer the black dial, more striking complete look with the hand colours.

Not my favorite as I think there is too much going on on the dial. It is a matter of personal preference though and VC has some beautiful models that I would consider.

They are indeed very nice. I’ve tried the overseas on many times at our boutique but I just haven’t pulled the trigger. Something holds me back.

Beautiful watch !
Love the Overseas 3rd gen, especially the Bronze / Chocolate Dial

You can’t go wrong with an Overseas, Simple Date, Chrono, World Timer or others like yours...
Pull the trigger and enjoy the hell of it !

Beautiful watch with a balanced legible dial. I always like the Overseas line, particularly those without the 4:30 date window.

I love Vacheron, but in my view there are better GMTs out there - including Rolex.

My opinion, that blue dial dual time is the cat’s meow. And coming with a leather and rubber strap easy to change out, perfect.

I love the entire Overseas line. Seems to be the pacesetter for the brand.

I have always liked the Overseas.

I recently tried on a 56 and that might be my next purchase.

I own a time/date with blue dial and love it. I have a slight preference for the black in the dual-time. Though generally, i don't love 12 hour GMTs unless you can fully hide the GMT hand....unless you're always tracking a second time zone

Dang. I'm taking a beating on this thread for my comparison of VC to Rolex.

Glad to see so much love for Vacheron.
