I loved the refinement and overall class of their watches. Have a 2nd gen overseas chrono (current when I bought it) and think that the 3rd is probably even nicer. At that time, well, it still is, the nautilus was out of my price range and the RO, while nice, didn’t have the same appeal to me. Not to mention it only has 50m wr and was more well known. VC tend to fly under the radar more, which can be a nice bonus.
