Watches that I've been lusting after:
Grand Seiko SBGA375
Rolex Yachtmaster 126622
Vacheron Constantin Overseas 4500V

What are your thoughts on this comparison? Every week I change my mind on which to go with. I realize they are all about $5,000 apart from each other. Thanks!

The blue-dialed Grand Seiko is gorgeous. But be sure to try it on because the case may be bulkier than you might imagine.

Would also look at the GS 267 if you don’t mind pre-owned.

IF you have a large/flat wrist then go with the Vacheron. That blue is so beautiful, high horology and versatile strap options. For me it doesn't work and I have tried a few times because I really wanted it.

From the other two, I had the YM and it is a great watch with nice dial too. The numbers on bezel is very 90'ies but some people like them.

4500v would have my vote amongst those. Love that watch, if only it was 1mm smaller and thinner.

That VC Overseas blue dial is my favorite dial on any watch I have ever seen.

Rolex Oyster perpetual 39mm in blue? https://www.rolex.com/watches/oyster...4300-0003.html

Purchasing a blue dialed watch is also on my list. The SBGA375 and the 4500v are two I've been keeping an eye on as well. Have you looked into the SBGJ231?

I have seen that one, and thought about it for a little while. If I remember correctly one was just for sale on this forum a month ago.

That OP 39 that was suggested is very cool, but it just doesn't move me like these others do. I think if the markers were all equal size and had lume I would like it better.

Edit. Was mentioning the JLC as well, but the post above beat me to it. Looks great, imo.

Like it as well (though I'd still prefer no date). But great blue faced sportswatch nonetheless.

Agreed would also prefer no date.

The Rolex would look the best. You'd have the exclusivity factor with the VC

Have not been a huge fan of the Polaris line so far but this dial treatment looks amazing.
