Which will you choose?
By: Horologically_minded : January 19th, 2020-03:01
I'm hoping to add a VC to my collection, and I'm torn between the WG Traditionnelle and the Overseas small model. The Traditionnelle would fill the dress watch gap in my collection - currently I rely on my trusty steel reverso for formal events. (I have a...
Answer is in your question
By: Jurry : January 19th, 2020-03:47
The answer can be found in your question. You’ve stated that: * you’ve got a dress watch gap in your collection * you’ve got 2 blue dial watches already * you’ve got 2 sporty watches already The above would lead to the logical conclusion that the Traditio...
Wow!

Thanks much for this comprehensive and well-thought out reply! I'll definitely weigh your advice very seriously!
Get the Traditionelle
By: CastorKrieg : January 19th, 2020-04:31
Do not settle if you want a RO or a Nautilus - find a way to get one now or wait for the hype to die. The Traditionelle is a beautiful dress watch without being too classical.
Thanks!

The Traditionnelle is indeed a perfect balance between dressy and modernity!
Yes, agreed!
By: Horologically_minded : January 19th, 2020-16:54
The Overseas might be an iteration or two away from the perfection, while the Traditionnelle is arguably the best dress watch in current production, all things considered
How about a curve ball?

Trade in the Rolex and/or Omega and get both VCs. That VC OS looks good on your wrist. I suspect the Rolex and Omega wear very big for you. Just an idea... Cheers, John
Unfortunately...

The Rolex and Omega were gifts from my father, and have special sentimental value. Otherwise, your suggestion definitely makes plenty sense!
I’d vote for the Tradionnelle as well
By: andyhud : January 19th, 2020-12:20
Im a proud owner of the Tradionnelle and think it is a perfect dress watch, despite its smaller size on my 7.25” wrist. I wear it less frequently than my GMT Master II but for its purpose it is perfect. You may find you’d wear the Overseas more since it i...
Perfectly worded!

Filling a gap in a collection before adding redundancy=boom. Thanks!
I'll pick the Traditionnelle over OS

You may want to check on the preowned market, a platinum for sale at Far East Plaza. I have no affiliation with the seller. ...

Check out the

Contemperaine line also for VC dress. I love the case design. Probably misspelled the model line name.
It's a beautiful range!
By: Horologically_minded : January 19th, 2020-17:28
Unfortunately most of them have closed casebacks, while the 42mm range is a little too big for my liking
I have read your (brilliant!) review
By: Horologically_minded : January 23rd, 2020-17:05
The Traditionnelle is indeed the finished article. That you would not hesitate to acquire the WG variant despite owning the RG is high praise! Thanks for your comments!
Traditionelle
By: LemaniaChrono : January 21st, 2020-19:19
I really like the traditionelle over that specific OS model. I’m in a similar dilemma albeit with the 41mm OS. Not to throw a wrench into the situation but I have been considering the Japan edition of the traditionelle small seconds white gold case, black...
Ooooooh
By: Horologically_minded : January 23rd, 2020-17:06
Yes I've seen photos of the Japan edition...but it's like hunting a unicorn no? J

Why?
Late to the club.
By: MTR : January 24th, 2020-18:05
For me without a doubt the Traditionelle! 1. It looks excellent on your wrist. 2. Why buying another blue-dialed sports watch if you have got already a Rolex Yachtmaster and the Omega Aqua Terra Spectre edition? Best Thomas
a WG
By: Weems@8 : January 24th, 2020-23:15
I would chose the WG. But if i want a VC, i want the Quai de l’lle. So many dress watches, i would take an Ulysse Nardin clasico. My next watch would be a dressy one for daily use. I consider a Rolex milgauss, a Bvlgari octo roma, Omega constellation, an ...
Hobby and passion
By: Weems@8 : January 25th, 2020-00:56
I like to hunt also rare watches. And it feels great any time to score a watch who stood on the wishlist. The talk with the seller, see some watches, and pay.
