We share an appreciation for impeccable, but unobtrusive, execution.
Nice choices.. what does she wear herself?

Does anyone have up to date ideas about availability of the skeletonized perpetual, i.e. waitlists that sort of thing? I was under the impression that they are available to be ordered without much hullabaloo, but that information may be outdated.

Congrats. Great watch!

I got news that the Cory Richards overseas will be available to order soon. RRP is 24,500 euros.

News came via my VC boutique. I’ve put my name down for one to complement my black dial 4500V.

Looking to contact a VC boutique. Sounds like you had a good experience at Costa Mesa. Do you have any experience with the Beverly Hills boutique? I’m looking to build my relationship at one of the boutiques and wondered if you had any recommendations.

Thanks!

Rubber straps

Has anybody seen a gray rubber strap? Boutique said no but I thought I saw one online. I'm looking for an alternative to the black strap for my black dial b/c it's a little to monochromatic . . .

These days, an Apple Watch! She used to cycle through a TT MOP dial datejust, and a series of jewelry watches. No VC...yet ;)

Official vacheron overseas thread!!

I have a Pepsi, a AP 15450 and an Omega Seamaster diver 300m

Looking to add the blue dial Dual time.

But do you think it is worth giving up the Pepsi for this? Tired of the Rolex brand but across that I will regret.

Personally, I would drop the Pepsi. The newer Vacheron range will add so much to a collection with the strap options and with the market price of the Pepsi it's not much of a cash difference to the dual time.

You would be left with the 15450 for smarter occasions/more bling, the Omega as a "beater" (obviously it is so much more, just a turn of phrase) pool/beach/casual watch and the Vacheron for everything in between, changing straps as the mood takes you. Solid set up there IMO!

No idea. I would check directly with the boutique and see where it leads. I think it's fair to expect a wait on most steel pieces nowadays.

I was offered 30% off a silver dial dual time in December. I'm trying not to fall for the VC low supply low demand trap.

My AD tells me it's rare low production and high demand and then I call another store and they offer to ship it to me from stock (5500V).

But I doubt you can get a discount in the blue dial though

Of course not. Never said that. My AD is pretending all overseas models and colors are so hot and they aren't. The blue is.

I'm waiting on black/white 5500V and blue 4500V. 5500V is straight up in stock and ready to ship from another boutique while I'm hearing how high demand and low production they are locally.

Ah ok.

In Singapore, the blue is only exclusive to boutiques since 2020.

I'm thinking of reading my Pepsi for the Dual time. Alittle tired of the Rolex brand and everyone nowadays seem to have a Rolex. What do you think?

And I don't like to have too many watches . Maximum of 4 for me..

What else is in your collection?

Pepsi is pretty great but I can see how it is saturated in a wealthy place like Singapore.

I'd be happy with overseas or Pepsi as my only watch.... but the edge goes to overseas with its hand finishing inside and out and those strap options are amazing.

I have an Omega Seamaster Diver 300m black rubber, a AP silver 15450st (37mm) and the Pepsi.

I am also getting a Zenith Chronomaster Sport white dial in May.

Would love to add another holy Trinity to my small collection.

Almost everywhere I go, I definitely will see people wearing Rolex. And there is too much hype about it that I kinda get sick of it.

My friend sent me this as he placed a deposit on the Overseas blue plain dial. He was theast person to be accepted a deposit.

He told me to look at the dual time instead
