Hi all,
In my quick watch trip to Geneva I had the opportunity to try also the two flagship models of the new Overseas collection
Great, really great watches, particularly impressed by the Perpetual Calendar to die for, but, there is always on or more but:
1) it a shame VC decided to produce these two versions in WG only a steel version would have been a real killer (let's wait and see)
2) retail price out of this world, especially in this period, and I'm not referring to the WG models only, take for instance the steel crono... My VC AD in Italy thinks they went for a sort of suicide (again let's wait and see)
3) looking the press pictures I thought both dials were more "bronish", or at least with some light brown reflection, in reality they're plain grey, my taste liked a lot the impression I got from the press material
4) strap exchange ingenious and easy, to be tested over
Time, but at the first impression it seems pretty solid
5) resale value still a big question mark... Especially vs direct competitors like the Nautilus or the RO
At the end I really liked both, if money were not a problem I'll take the Perpetual, considering what I wrote I think a wise decision could be to wait and see, hoping for new steel iterations in the near future, maybe couple with different dial colors

Ultra Thin time only (avaliable for sale)



Perpetual Calendar (mock up which travelled the world, this is way it shows some hairlines...)







Curious to hear your thoughts on these two models, and more in general on the new Overseas line, in which VC is investing a lot of marketing effort
Ciao
Luca
