The VC OS Chrono movement has the Geneva seal. Don’t think you get anything else from VC apart from the Geneva seal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

RO for me, but i gotta give credit where its due. The vacheron easily takes the cake for the blue vs blue battle.

As a Jumbo owner as well, I’d probably lean towards the VC Chrono as well, as I think it would compliment my rotation better. But if I didn’t yet have an RO, I’d lean towards the AP. |

The VC is a fine looking watch, but the sheer details on the AP, and how the light plays with those angles is just awesome

Vacheron Overseas Chronograph v AP RO Chrono

Spot on. The VC Chrono is a remarkable watch and I’ve hardly worn my AP 15202 since I bought the VC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The VC chrono by a long shot.
The ROC is just not a serious chronograph watch. Any company, AP or otherwise, who doesn’t invest the time and effort into an in-house movement isn’t worth buying. I have a 15500 black dial in order right now and was deciding between it or a ROC, and went with the 15500 because he ROC is just not a serious chronograph. I will eventually buy a VC Overseas Chrono to compliment my 15500. |

I like the VC but can't get away from the fact that they change up the design each generation

Definitely some bias on an AP forum, but it's all good. Everyone likes what they like, for whatever reason. |

ROC all day every day.
The VC 3rd gen (or whatever generation it's on now) does nothing for me. |

What would be an example of serious chronos for a comparable price as the ROC out of curiosity? FP 1185 is a fine movement imo. Just want to understand your rationale. |

I still find it stunning the AP power reserve is 40hrs but I’d choose it

It isn’t noticeable to me but I use a wonder. Actually it’s about the same as my Aquanaut (officially says 35-45 on Patek website) and I alternate between the two. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Here is my white dial Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chrono (this is me driving home from picking it up at FedEx... came today!!) that will compliment my non-chrono Royal Oak 15500 black dial when it arrives:
The fit and finish of the VC is equivalent to that of any RO and exceeds that of any ROO. |

I must say, the 42.5mm case of the Vacheron Constantin wears very large, almost too large for my wrist. It definitely makes me realize a 44mm ROO is something I’ll never buy! I think the 41mm of the RO will be perfect.

I also like the VC because between it, my two Pateks, and the inbound AP RO 15500 will leave me with at least one piece from the holy trinity! :)

And the ROOs, 44 esp, are finished with more layers and materials than the ROs or VCOs which are all basically just one metal served different ways. |
