Obligatory wrist shot.



Not the greatest sample, but less of a worry for bumps and capers and a mysterious past like a mature woman. 🤔

That's why I have considered the new VC Overseas. What else are you looking at? Best E.

Overseas indeed ...

I did try the Overseas 4500, but the size on my wrist is the same as the DJ 41 ... too big. However, the Overseas 5300 (small model) suits my wrist very well and I really like the model. Unfortunately, for the price they are asking, the value is just not ... 

Me too!

I also tried on the smaller model - with diamonds but it will also come without - and very much liked it. The straps seemed ok...I think...well that is to say, I don't remember an issue with their length! But I spent more time with it on the bracelet. I a... 

Microadjust + 'baggage'

Microadjust is something that many makers sadly lack. At least you can get a 1+1/2 link for the R.O. bracelet. Try not to think about the baggage of any piece. It put me off Rolex for years until I just stopped caring what anyone else thought.

Nice to see your final choice

You and your pesky camera! A truly great memory. Seems like last year. Yes I finally caved in and got a Jumbo. Tim

LoooL :-)

 
 By: SALMANPK : May 27th, 2017-11:19
That was a life changing trip for me, in no small part thanks to you. Don't worry about the Jumbo, its still a JLC under the hood ;-), Enjoy it my friend, it looks great on your wrist. S

It's looks gigantic in that shot...

... I actually have 7 1/4 inch wrists. The close up perspective of the iPhone unfortunately. Humbled by your comment. It's a shame we haven't gtg since. Tim
