Movement Shot - VC is so under-rated
Happy to share some pics of my Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual time movement shot, calibre 5110DT. 🤗
I am amazed by the quality of finishing, and I own many watches from AP and PP, the other 2 "trinity" brand. It might very well surpasses the other two ( comparing similar watches ). I look at it thru a 10X loupe and is hard pressed to find any blemish and imperfections. Even the edges along the plates are mirror polished to perfection and that 22K gold rotor is such a feast for the eyes. 😍 And the corners are all sharp edges, which means to my knowledge hand finishing. Yet I seldom heard folks praising VC finishing. 🤔I never had a chance to properly inspect a VC movement close-up before in natural lighting as can't tell much with harsh boutique lighting and wrapped up in layers of plastics and stickers which some AD sales rep will refuse to unwrap due to worry of scratches.
If I had know it is this good, I would have probably gotten one much earlier. But better late than never. Enjoy your weekends folks. 🍻

The lucky side
Patek Philippe absorbing the status freaks, so Vacheron Constantin can make watches for us who love the craftsmanship of watchmaking. The whole line up is mind blowing, from patrimony to twin beat. Real names instead of cold numbers.
Patek is ok
My reply suggest i dislike Patek, but that isn’t tru. People went to fast to the big names overlooking others. For me personally i think VC is my choice seeing the models VC made.
Thanks for this.
I’ve noticed that VC has top level finishing, although it seems to be different depending on the product line. Although they’re all with the Geneva Seal, I did notice some minute differences - for example the finishing of the 4400 caliber in the Tradition...
I didn't time it
and one drawback is there is no hacking second, but I time casual observation says it is keeping time accurately.
Very lovely piece
It was on my wishlist, but I had to rethink it, as the size was too large for my wrist. I tried the perpetual calender in gold, but the lugs jutted out and I was sad I could never wear an Overseas, unless it is in the 37-38mm size. Congratulations and thi...
Its a sports watch
and does wears big. Min wrist size to pull it off will be 6.5" I think.
Great shots!
IMO, the Overseas does have better movement finishing than the Nautilus and RO. Specifically, I think both the rotor and the anglage on the bridges look better.
I'd buy one if the watch were thinner!
I borrowed one from Vacheron Constantin, but I just decided I liked my Nautilus more mainly because the Nautilus was thinner.
I would not say VC is 'underrated'
It is up there with AP, Patek, etc, but unlike ( at least the icons of) those brands, VC is challenged by resale value... otherwise certainly no under-rating... enjoy your exquisite piece!
