and it gave it a too formal look. I like what you've done here! Bill

to be relatively easy to read the information on. The railroad track for hours and minutes is useful and makes the larger case work compared with the previous generation. Bill

it's too bad the papers aren't with it, but I would still move ahead on it. You should plan on a service, as it is now 5 years old. Bill

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

glad you are enjoying it! Bill

the 4178 is one of my all-time favorite watches. Thank you for getting some "inside" pics. Bill

but I don't own one. Vacheron Constantin has had blue dials for all the previous generations of the Overseas and I am happy to see that continue with this new edition, even if Piaget (Polo S) , Cartier (Calibre Diver), and others are also going blue...

my first wast the 37 mm Overseas Chronometer. My second was also my first trip into vintage watches. Bill

then by all means jump on one as soon as you can! A number of collectors will also get a rubber strap and steel buckle to give it an additional look. I hop your next post will show it on your wrist! Bill

and I too am a fan on the bronze case watches (though I never would expect one from VC). The Oris "Brashear" is pretty sweet as well. Bill
