Great choice!

May 26, 2017,09:33 AM
 

I have been following your posts with some interest as I am looking for a  steel (bracelet) sports watch myself. Last year I fooled myself thinking that I had finally found "the" watch, a Rolex Datejust 41, but I never felt comfortable with the size of the watch and the "baggage". RO is definitely a contender, but I am concerned about the lack of a quick micro-adjustment ... will probably stick with my 36 mm Ultra Thin and a G-shock for some time still ...


Enjoy in the best of health!

Cheers,
Rick

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

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 ...

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'

 
 By: Velociphile - No longer in the building : May 27th, 2017-02:02
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.

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
