Great watch
You said everything, it's still one of those watches to buy; affordable, snobbish and high end
I truly love integrated bracelets watches, and VC made a great job with this one.
The only con i could find is the central link that's not as impressive as the successive overseas, but IMHo it was too big, 42 mm (they'd've chosen 40 mm).

Congrats on finally getting what you’ve yearned for.
Unlike yourself, I prefer the 47040, although there is a version similar to yours that has a full compliment of arabic numerals on the dial, and lumed, which I really like.

First Gen Overseas Love
Thank-you for taking the time to share your Gen 1 OS. I hope you were able to get the original boxes and chronometer certificate. Your enthusiasm led me to realize that I've had six of these beauties pass through my collection over the years (42042/42040/...

Answers on sizes.
I’ve dug around and have more conclusive answers on sizes. 42042 42040 = 37mm 42052 = 35mm Dial of military / numbered edition of the Overseas first addition include lume marker to the right of the date window. 35mm versions do not have this lume marker, ...
Simply in love with VCO 42042. I have been trying to get a good condition piece , it is so difficult and many has no service history.
The confusing parts are 42040 vs 42042. Caliber 1310 or 1311. I couldn’t find any detail of the differences. I noticed some dial with “t Swiss t” and some without.
