Official vacheron overseas thread!!

Interestingly enough I was at dinner with a friend Tuesday who just got the DD 40 green dial and I do miss having a presidential bracelet.

Bad pics they don’t capture the dial color at all.

It's all about that bracelet. White gold olive dial could even be an only Rolex for me although I may miss the sub for fishing and weekends.

The Vacheron 222 is going to occupy the spot of sports elegant watch in my collection though. No DD on the horizon for me at this time.

This is possibly the best watch bracelet ever made.

Excited to officially join the VCO club! Got the call from the boutique in Houston.

The pics don’t do the blue dial justice. And I'm loving the versatility of quick change system for the bracelet / strap!

Really loving this piece. And that movement

The VC is special - the interchangeable straps make the piece very versatile and really change up the feel.
After awhile even though they are great - a Rolex is just another Rolex.

I got on the waitlist in 2021 and received it in 2022. About a year wait with no prior purchase. Just a data point for reference.

Ordered (with $8k deposit) in May 2021 and was told 6-9 months (NYC Boutique). In December, they told me about 4 weeks left. I'm still waiting, unfortunately.

Excellent! I'm joining you with the 2nd gen today (but this is pretty much a daily go-to for me at the moment!)

Hi all, just joined this nice Forum after passively reading along for a while. Just tried on the Panda yesterday and it’s very impressive. I am on the waiting list for the classic blue Overseas but most likely this will take another 3 years. But I could get a Panda next month on release as they get a handful and haven’t really established the waiting list. Have a couple of days to decide but probably will take it.

Did anyone else try it on yet?

If you're comfortable with the size then go for it. 5500V is a beast. Absolutely beautiful watch.

I was April or early May of 2021 From NYC Boutique and I got mine last month. I think you are getting close.

Yes. It looks brilliant on the black rubber strap. If you can handle the size it's a nice piece.

Blue dial & orange rubber is a match made in heaven

[steeevvvooo]

Couple of night time photos of the blue dial 4500v. I actually prefer this tone to the bright blue under direct light!

So I just received my alligator leather strap, and I love it. So I ask, stainless steel, rubber, or leather strap?

Metal and gator for me. I'd need a longer length at 12 o'clock to make rubber work.

Stainless and rubber for me. I rarely use the leather.

Picked up some custom straps I had ordered from the boutique about 5 months ago










I was very surprised the boutique was able to source me the Everest strap.

Last week and ahead of schedule, my gold bracelet came into the boutique.

They only officially released the 5500 blue dial in full gold so was surprised I was able to get the bracelet for my silver dial.

Looks amazing

That’s a stunner! I’ve been contemplating about purchasing a bracelet for my RG silver dial Chrono too but can’t justify paying so much for it. It’s a whole different animal after seeing these photos.

Thanks for sharing those great pictures of the straps including the stunning gold bracket!

What does everyone think of the new Overseas?

It’s nice that they keep it thin, which comes with lower water depth rating and who cares. I think some might find it strange to have such a old school complication on a sport watch, but I like it! Caliber 2460 is an old movement with less power reserve than the 4500V, but it should comes with hacking although no second hand so doesn’t matter. All in all, it’s a good add to the Overseas line.

Looks great would love to have one

I'm on the fence with the new overseas, I've already put my name on the expression of interest list with my boutique but I really want to see one in hand.
