Really Hard Choice!

I already own some Dress and some sporty pieces, however as I dress more casually, I usually wear more sports watches. I really like the 47200, but I am really afraid that it is going to look small with a 36mm diameter! But I confess that I really love the guillhoche work on that timepiece! Here in Brazil, the situation because of the Corona is getting pretty bad, so I found that Vacheron for only $3800 USD with box and papers, and the guy is willing to divide that price on 5 payments with no interest on the credit card! The other timepiece is selling for around $1200 more on a wire transfer!

Hey guys, I am facing the opportunity of buying either a Vacheron Constantin Overseas 1st Generation or the Vacheron Constantin 47200. The watches would be bought on a similar price, but the VC Overseas would be around $1000 USD cheaper! I was wondering w...  

Hi Fernando...

This will probably come down to the purpose of this watch for you. One is a dress watch and the other is a sports model. What will fit into your life better ?

I really love the Bracelet on that piece, my father owns a second generation with chronograph which is very beautiful! However, I love how the 1st generation was very thin and dressy, I believe it really compares to a Royal Oak Jumbo costing 5 times less!...

Both are great watches. If you take a rational pragmatic view. The which one to choose could be a function of (in no particular order) * intended use ie leisure or office * other pieces in your collection * do you have a collection strategy and if so whic... 

VC Overseas VS 47200

Thank you very much for your response! It was really helpful! The Vacheron Constantin Overseas 2nd generation chronograph was a grail piece for me for a long time when I was younger, so It was a watch that I always planned on buying! I found one pre-owned... 

Well
