Hi,
I'm lost between vc overseas automatic in rose gold with leather strap and Rolex sky dweller in everose gold with leather strap. I first fall in love with sky dweller which look stunning but I describe it as "drug dealer's" watch as it is so loud and catchy. But I love the feel, look and technical aspect.
Yesterday when I visit vc store and have a second look at the overseas, it looks so refined. Subtly loud but low profile. Although vc has better brand image, I think other than overseas longer history than sky dweller, overseas is short in technical advancement  as compares to sky dweller.

However, I think the overseas can be an everyday watch and can be evening piece but the sky dweller is more evening use rather than for daily office wear.

Any thought on this 2 very different animal?


I also hope both will have open back case. Do you think there will be chance in the future the watch will show their back side?

.....on this one i would go VC. It is more subtle and has more of an element of classicism to it. The sky dweller is just an altogether different animal. This is ALL personal taste..... it depends what you want from it

Hi Baron, I total agree with you. Actually I have the answer. I love both of them but...... I can only afford one of them and would like to see how others look, analyse and compare these two different animals.

I am a white metal guy.....I have very few dress watches, mostly tool..... i prefer very simple watches, with as few complications as possible.... ...so possibly I am not the guy here.

If I may suggest the following: Since your interest is on a Rose Gold Overseas, try the Rose Gold Dual Time on a strap. It is a bit more expensive, but is worth every extra dollar. Overall, the Overseas in Pink Gold is more unique and more of a classic "sports watch". It comes with an amazing second rubber strap and has what I think is the best deployant clasp out there. Also, there is a chance that we will see a new Overseas with an open back, when VC decides to come out with a new generation t

whether steel or gold, as many participants here will attest. I don't have experience with the Rolex. This is such a personal choice, too. I have always found Rolex's Everose to be too bright for my taste. Good luck with your decision. Bill

the aesthetics are a completely personal choice - for me, I love the VC Overseas line. Beyond the purely aesthetic, I ask what you value in a watch. Rolex and Vacheron are pretty far apart when it comes to the "ethos". This too is somewhat of a personal thing, but for me, Rolex represents industrial innovation - more science than art. It is mass produced luxury. I don't mean this disparagingly in any way - they are more about the "excellence in manufacturing" aspect than anything else. They are,
