Bracelet watches
In spite of owning a few bracelet watches, I much prefer ones with leather straps and pin buckles. However in Saturday’s UK Financial Times the communist Nick Foulkes wrote:
“I hesitate to make predictions but this looks like it is shaping up to be the year of the bracelet watch. I’m delighted to see that one of the under-appreciated designs of almost 40 years ago is being evoked by Vacheron Constantin – the Overseas has now been revamped and the one to go for is the ultra-slim time-only model in white gold.”
Not only for VC but also for GP with the Laureator special edition.
Is Nick Foulkes's prediction correct for other manufacturers, ignoring Rolex and Omega?

SIHH 2016: some additional wristshots of the Vacheron Constantin novelties
Please find the pictures I took during my appointment with Alex. The 3 hands Overseas features a 41mm case and the new automatic caliber 5100: The power reserve of the caliber 5100 is around 60 hours: My fav version of the Overseas with the blue dial: The...
Foversta thanks for this excellent photography. I have been following your pics on the
different forums - especially Lange, VC, and Cartier. Thanks for these VC pics. I was not able to attend SIHH and your pics are the nex best things to actually seeing the watches in real. A) My favourites are the OS Time Date only in Blue dial, followed b...
Thanks a lot kpk for your nice words! But the most difficult task starts now...
To write reviews about the watches! Fx
But they are worth it as your reviews among the top 1% in the industry. And I mean it.
Look forward. a) Easy to read b) Concise c) Honest d) Love the Pros and Cons e) Great photography Keep up the great work.
Two thumbs up for the OS 2016 collection..
the ultrathin is to die for... Thanks FX for the lovely pictures. Mo
Grey on white is stunning!
Foversta, THNX for those beautiful pics! The grey hands+markers on white looks awesome. The rest are not too shabby either. But I guess they come at a cost, judging from the fact that you can only afford one shirt... . Regards, Wover
Thanks for the report and pics, FX.
I can\'t tell if I like the blue dial Overseas Automatic. It looks a bit electric? The white dial works for me, though. How do you think they compare to the Royal Oak and Nautilus models?
I am doomed...
I think I am poisoned by the blue dial 41mm Overseas.... Thanks for the pics Fx! Cheers Robin

Lovely pics! But I think I (gasp!) prefer the older OS..
even with the Frederic Piguet movement. The additional and narrower teeth on the splined bezel have more acutely pointed corners that seem to evoke the Maltese Cross, and the glossy blue dial is stunning. I tried this on in California last year, and it ha...
Really loving the Overseas Ultra-Thin
Though the price tag is heavy....very heavy. But it\'s a beautiful (understated) watch! I would say the Royal Oak, the Nautilus, and this Overseas are the holy trinity in high end sports watches. But a Rolex should be in there too right? So a quartet it s...
water resistance
So is the whole line now only water resistant to 50m and not antimagnetic? Those were two features I liked in the 2nd generation.
