Lots of details make it work
The WG details (markers and surrounds for the subdials) catch the light in interesting ways and make the dial a lot more lively than a pure stealth version. And even though the stealth chrono hands aren't ideal for stopwatch duty, they actually make the dial a bit less busy and therefore more attractive to me.
VC put a lot of thought into this one, for sure.
Best,
Gary G
Something new for me from VC
I've had my eye on this piece for a while through various Internet sightings, but had never seen it in the metal until yesterday at my favorite NorCal/Central Coast AD. And, given my gratitude to VC for the recent festivities in Geneva, I thought it appro...
Congratulations!
Definately my favourite overseas chrono i have seen so far! regards Marwan
Thanks, Marwan
There's something about the grey dial and Ti highlights that really makes this version work for me as well. Best, Gary G
Congrats on your new watch!
I got the RG Chrono which I think is very beautiful, I do not think it is flashy! I agree with you that the dual time in YG is very beautiful. Best regards, Baxter
Thanks, Baxter -- that RG...
...is a very classy piece! For me the fact that the bracelet is mostly brushed (rather than polished) makes a big difference in keeping the gold bracelet watch something very beautiful. Best, Gary
A wonderful way to memorialize your trip to Geneva....
I don't disagree with any of your points in favor of the SS/Ti Overseas Chronograph. This is precisely the model I would get were I back in the market for an Overseas. The movement has not earned the COSC certificate, so there must be a clerical error in ...
Appreciate it, Bill, and thanks for the COSC info
Thanks for the kind wishes! Very helpful info on the (non-)Chronometer status of this movement -- I couldn't find any reference to it elsewhere, but you are authoritative on these matters so it helps a lot. There appear to be some other errors on the flas...
Congrats on the new VC, Gary!
I love the gray dial on this piece. The Overseas makes for a fantastic everyday watch IMO. Cheers, Daos
Cool watch
Good choice, I really like the grey dial. All the reasons you have given to buy the watch are good reasons. Wear in good health. Regards, George
Appreciate the good wishes, grigo
Looking foward to getting a lot of wear from this one... Best, Gary G
Awesome...
such a great looking chronograph ! Perfect look with the grey dial. Congrats Drew

Nice choice!
I checked out this exact model a month ago while on vacation, and it's a very tempting choice! Congrats on your acquisition! Jason
Were you in Carmel?
If so, it was probably the very same watch -- thanks for leaving it for me! Best, Gary
No, in Honolulu
I played with one in the Tourneau in Honolulu. It was the first time I handled an Overseas, and I had an AP Royal Oak next to it for comparison. I'm definitely in love with the Overseas, and probably will get one later this year. Definitely a chrono, but ...
Bracelet is available
...for separate purchase. Obviously drives up the overall price of the package a bit, but you then have the flexibility to wear the watch on leather, rubber, or steel. I do love that bracelet (I have it on my OS Dual Time) -- comfortable, substantial, and...
Bracelet
Do they offer a matching titanium bracelet, or just the stainless steel one? I was in Honolulu on vacation, so I didn't spend too much time finding out details when playing with the watch. If a matching bracelet is available, then that makes this exact mo...
Steel
No Ti bracelet that I know of (wouldn't that be cool!) but the steel bracelet of course matches the body of the case. I'd like to see a photo of the combo before paying out for the bracelet, but it's nice to have the option. Best, Gary
Did you see Shorty's photo below?
Reposted here: Perhaps he can post some more photos for you (and all of us). I am a big fan of the bracelet on the SS/Ti watch (as well as the straps on the all SS watches. It's great that Overseas owners have all sorts of options now. Bill...
Very cool -- thanks for posting, Bill!
Would love to see some more photos of these. That DT on the strap looks particularly nice to me -- and I'm sure that the SS/Ti on bracelet would look great in person as well. Thanks again, Gary
Thanks!
Thanks Bill! I had missed that one. I guess if I decide that the SS/Ti model is the one that I really want, I'll have to check it out next to a bracelet to see how it looks in person! Jason
Congrats Gary
I do agree with you that it is a most handsome VC. Seems like they got it right this time. I, like you, love the "greyness" of the watch. I have for many years reference all other greys in the market to Patek slate grey, till this arrive. I have the non c...
Understand, Horo
Completely OK to be an RO guy -- you have lots of distinguished company! In the same way, for whatever reason the OS catches my eye (and fits my wrist) in ways that the RO doesn't. Horses for courses... Best, Gary G
Thanks, VMM
I wasn't sure until I saw it in the metal, but now the Ti/SS is my favorite as well. Best, Gary G
Thanks, PP
I am already enjoying it a lot! Have worn it every day and will likely do so for a while... Best, Gary G
Congrats Gary! This one looks awesome...
and perfect on your wrist. I agree that you should take a look at the bracelet at some point as I feel that the OS is meant to be on bracelet. Best, Goh
Thanks, Goh -- that bracelet
...is a real favorite of mine -- love the Maltese Cross theme and the alternating brushed and polished sections. Best, Gary G
