So you’re telling me we wear the same strap on the same watch and drive similar cars in the same city? That’s a lot of similarities. I’m pretty sure I got a jacket with a sleeve that looks like that too...

Yeah I don't think they know what they are talking about! Why would they discontinue one of their best lines!

Tried this on today

and now I'm obsessed with Overseas. How this brand doesn't get the love PP and AP get is beyond me. This watch in person is better than a nautilus

I read elsewhere (am I allowed to refer to other sites by name?) that VC recently instructed its ADs to stop taking orders on the Overseas until further notice. However, the assumption was that VC did this due to production slowdowns caused by COVID. Maybe this is true, and the sales rep just misinterpreted that instruction to mean that VC was discontinuing the line altogether.

There’s a blue one in the case at a Bucherer not far from here, they’re still fairly easy to come by...

I received my deposit back on blue dial three hander from a dealer in London saying they did not expect to get anymore. But was in the VC boutique in Moscow last week and the SA told me that they were not discounted and they expected to receive a blue dial three hander and a dual time in a month or so. The SA said there was a slow down in relation to the closure / reduced output of the manufacture, but no discontinuation.

My guess would be the limited supply of blue dial variants is headed mainly to VC boutiques for the time being. Watches of Switzerland might therefore not be able to get hold of them.

Anyone know if VC offers custom rubber straps for the Overseas like they do for the leather straps?

Not sure about custom but they definitely have a selection of different colour rubber straps. Wish they would also offer other strap options, would love to try it out on a fabric/nato style strap

I asked the Beverly Hills boutique that very question earlier this year, and was told at this time the custom colors are for the leather straps only. Hoping they can eventually do the same for the rubber!

No custom for the rubber straps and they have pretty limited options in what's available..

I'm thinking of picking up the white rubber strap for my blue chrono!

Still haven't heard back on pricing for the custom leathers

Why AP gets the love it still gets is beyond me. Most of their pieces are hideous with the exception of a few of the RO. But obviously some people like them.

VC are very underrated and undervalued.

Just look at the price you can buy a gen 1 or gen 2 overseas at compared to the current version.....value!

49150 Anyone ?

Epic thread.

I had my eyes on an Overseas for a while but in this entire thread I haven't seen a single Vol2 ? 49150 on anyone's wrist.

I have a small wrist so that version with slightly smaller diameter is better for me. Is it not fancied by anyone ? Or the new version took the spotlight ?

It doesn't have the quick release strap but still looks nice imo.

Any comments on that version ? (Great deal on a old stock at my local dealer 15k€)

Has anyone had to wait for a overseas blue dial? The VC boutique here in Singapore says there is a long long waiting list.

I can do my best to describe it if you like? It's a bit bizarre at first to have such a nice dial and tourb in a ss case but it's fun and casual yet elegant and I can't say enough about wearing it on the rubber...it's a really unique experience...light, attractive, legible, dress up/down easily. Still may have preferred it in WG or Platinum maybe but it stands out in my collection as something different which isn't easy these days
