Reunited! 42042 Back from the Spa
It's nice to have the Overseas Chronometer back from a service and reunited with the 49140. I am extremely fond of the Overseas Chronometer and actually prefer it to the Chronograph.

I can feel your joy from here!
A very nice pair of VC Overseas you have. Congrats and thanks for sharing. I have heard VC's spa is top notch so I am sure your watch is back as good as new. Cheers Robin
