Anyone have any experience with Vacheron Constantine Overseas Chrono's?

I've just picked up a LNIB 9month old VC Overseas Chrono 49150/000A-9745 (old style big date) on leather. It's my first venture into the brand and having traded a sub and a Cartier with a small top up I'm looking at it becoming a daily wear. It will form part of the holy trinity for me and I'm honest in saying I'm pretty happy to have secured it at a pretty decent price of 40% off list.
I'm familiar with the movement having once owned a ROC and not least I am aware of the brand but would welcome any thoughts/points good or bad as I get to grips with it.

Since you traded a Sub to get it I recommend that you eventually get the stainless steel bracelet to give you a new and useful look. Bill

I've owned both Gen I and II chronos and found them highly robust. The OS design has progressed more towards dressy with each iteration but the DNA remains as a steel sports watch. I'd get both the rubber strap and steel bracelet asap to complete its vers...

I've owned two in Gen. 2, with black and white dials. I enjoyed them both, had no problems at all, and loved the steel bracelets. I thought of them as intermediate in size between the 39 mm ROC and the 42 mm Offshore. Neither remains with me, mostly becau...

and 12.45 mm thick. It grew only slightly with perpetual calendar module, to 12.8 mm. Gen III is officially 42.5 mm, with thickness increased to 13.7 mm due to the 2-piece bezel. There is no QP chrono offered with the new Overseas yet, but calendar-only O... 

Thanks guys -

The honeymoon period is very much on and I have to say I\'m loving the leather strap. The bracelet no doubt looks great but there is a bracelet theme in the collection and well it\'s nice to be a little different. The VC will almost certainly be a daily w...  

Nice collection.

It has a coherent look except for the one on the lower right. Is that yours? My watches don't have a coherent theme.

I've finally made it on
