The rest, I'll need to see in person. I didn't expect a bracelet so outwardly similar to the first generation Vacheron Overseas. This watch is less likely to be compared to the 1980s St. Moritz than one or two haut-de-gamme steel models (one in particular) currently driving this manic trend. Best, Tim

Having set the stage, I have to say I’m liking the new version. It’s obviously going to get a certain amount of flak about the various styling cues it has “copied”. Can’t help but think even at the price point, the movement bridges are looking a bit too plain and ordinary. Dial and appliqué look superb, nonetheless.

Same copycat watches all over again, blue dial still case . Cliche ! . I get that a “sports “ watch has to meet certain criteria but come on .... Okay , I’m just thinking loud.

Only few that are critical towards it. Some brands get flagged for it while others get extremely praised. Blancpain *cough cough“
