1921 - love the textured dial and the blue

Love the blue numerals

I too have considered these.

Though not this specific iteration of the 1921. The Overseas while on paper is the perfect watch for me, a dressier dial (taste) in a sporty case (lifestyle) falls short when considering the low power reserve (40 hr) but especially meager water resistance

Both interesting watches.

I love the grained dial and blue numerals and hands of the 1921, but the Overseas would suit me more. It doesn't have the elegant dial, but it compensates with the lovely complications. From your posts, you seem like an active person and I would have thou

Yes Marc, that's exactly what I thought, and what is still mulling around in my mind....

I feel that I can pull off a 40mm without any issues, the 41mm Overseas was a good enough fit itself, and it's considerably bulkier than the 1921.... You mean posting more pictures or something else?? I only took these three shots, and one more that ended

That's exactly why I was so curious about reading yours and other people's opinions!!

I actually much preferred the supremely grainy 1921 dial, with the gorgeous contrasting blue Breguet numerals!! I wasn't honestly expecting that to be the case so easily, but the delicately elegant and detailed nature of that dial can ONLY be appreciated

I haven’t seen the new 1921 but on photos

it doesn’t really sing to me. So I would think that it’s the Overseas which appealed to you. I’ve tried it on back in 2023 but it gave mixed feelings: the mix of dressy and sporty felt a bit strange: I had a more convincing experience with the silver dial

The Real-Deal VCs

All-right, I couldn't just leave my friends here, and myself, off with a meager AI concoction of what a plastic Overseas made by Swatch could, hypothetically, look like; I had to 'take the plunge' to my local boutique and see a couple of their pieces for

True, now that you mentioned the lugs, I see it!

But if it would be one for lefties, I could probably oversee it The gold 222, is definitely not for me dough., even if it would fit perfectly on the street in South Bronx
