Tony, thank you for taking the time to make your report.
I once owned a Royal Oak chronograph and would like to share a three
points about it in comparison to the older style VC Overseas
chronograph, points which I suspect still hold for the new style
Overseas.
1-I really hated unscrewing the pushers on the RO chrono whereas it was easy on the Overseas.
2-The VC was better balanced on the wrist. I felt the head of the AP
was too heavy when compared with the bracelet and thus it was a little
uncomfortable to wear.
3-The big date on the VC is not only useful, it also gives the dial a
balanced look compared to the RO's date between the 4 and 5 hour
markers.
