VC Overseas VS 47200

Thank you very much for your response! It was really helpful!
The Vacheron Constantin Overseas 2nd generation chronograph was a grail piece for me for a long time when I was younger, so It was a watch that I always planned on buying! I found one pre-owned for an amazing price, but as I did not have the means to buy it at the time, my father bought for himself, however, that watch did not fit really well on my wrist!
So, I started thinking about adding a 1st generation VC on my collection, I currently own a AP Royal Oak Offshore triple calendar which on a strap, which is also from the 90's, so I believe they would make a great combo together!
However, I really love the work on the dial of the VC 47200, I had the opportunity to visit the factory of VC and meet one of the guys that worked on the guillhoce for Vacheron, and they really do an amazing work over there, I really love the design of that dial, but I am afraid that I am not going to wear it very much as I currently own many dressy watches with an white dial a Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Quantieme, Datejust Turn-o-graph, Peter Speake Marin Valsheda, Roger Dubuis Hommage (white gold) with an white enamel dial and a Piaget Gouverneur 36mm (white gold) and a Reverso Gran Sport.

Hey guys, I am facing the opportunity of buying either a Vacheron Constantin Overseas 1st Generation or the Vacheron Constantin 47200. The watches would be bought on a similar price, but the VC Overseas would be around $1000 USD cheaper! I was wondering w...

This will probably come down to the purpose of this watch for you. One is a dress watch and the other is a sports model. What will fit into your life better ?

Really Hard Choice!

I already own some Dress and some sporty pieces, however as I dress more casually, I usually wear more sports watches. I really like the 47200, but I am really afraid that it is going to look small with a 36mm diameter! But I confess that I really love th... 

The question is still ...

I really love the Bracelet on that piece, my father owns a second generation with chronograph which is very beautiful! However, I love how the 1st generation was very thin and dressy, I believe it really compares to a Royal Oak Jumbo costing 5 times less!...

Both are great watches. If you take a rational pragmatic view. The which one to choose could be a function of (in no particular order) * intended use ie leisure or office * other pieces in your collection * do you have a collection strategy and if so whic...

Then you’ve answered your own question. Marvelous. By the way, that’s a nice collection you have. I visited the VC factory last October and was totally impressed. Got the grand tour and we were looking over the shoulder of the master engraver when she mad...
