Great choice and wear yours in good health! I am wearing this one just now. Bought one of the last ones before it was discontinued.

Great choice, Saral. Congratulations!

I actually prefer the 2nd generation Overseas chrono over the current model. The date window between 4 and 5 o’clock is something I really don’t like. The position at 12 o’clock looks much better, IMO. Great photo too. Best, V.

You hit the nail on the head. The 2nd gen is the one to own. I hate the side window. [nt]
