Vacheron Constantin

Hi 👋 I’ve expressed an interest in this piece but both the blue and the black are drawing me in. Which version would you go for? I’m leaning towards blue 🔵 thanks 🙏 ...  

but I’ve already got that in my AP ROO 44 🤔

...but at this point, I think VC is almost known for their blue dials...

The red accents on the black dial are in this case too much for me. Best Thomas

well worth trying to see in person 👍

Deep black lacquered dial is mesmerizing and one will never get bored of it. Love the blue too, but the black one wins in my book.

...  

but I would try to get the limited titanium version

Even so, I’m not convinced I’d take it over the other options but I’d need to see it in the real.

Because it is futile. Boutiques had those sold within few hours of the release. I keep wanting to add one of these overseas but the polished bezel will drive me crazy for a sports watch.

Two little kids, third one on the way. I'm always grabbing and catching things. Also living in cold weather I have zipper pockets on a lot of stuff than can scuff bezel. Sadly my rolex with ceramic bezel and brushed links fits that role well. Now the brus... 

For your dilemma, I like the black. For lacquer dials I like black. For blue I like matte. I actually could have gotten blue overseas and got this for the matte dial and the unique case. Same caliber as overseas ...  

I always try to wear it more.

But based on the pics presented I would go for black - the red accents are a cool touch. In my view would also allow for fun strap color coordination.

and this is among my most favorite timepieces!! After all, it is called the OverSEAS for a reason ........

Is it the dual or more generally the model line that you like so much?

The Overseas line is in my top 3 lines from any watchmaker! Love both the philosophy of the watches and obviously, the design . The blue in this instance simply serves as a great metaphor for the ocean itself . Cheers, Filip

On the resale value the blue will always be better(if that maters), since is a crowd favorite(totally justified), but the black is more serious and refined I feel. Also i think the black ages better with a couple of scratches on it But in the end your hea... 

This blue dial does have a promenant presence. So true that times have changed regarding availability of a few references from some brands.

Not that I had a choice at the time but I do like the red bits. ...  

Blue is more beautiful and more royal fit to the maltese. However I prefer the Black Red as its more stealthy warrior looking.

For the chronograph, the reverse panda black and white and white dial.

… not that you asked! If the blue dial had some splash of color, that would get my vote. The red in the silver and black dials draw me in.

and ends up with a much different vibe than the other two. I like the silver too btw 🙂 and it’s somewhat unusual to have such a sporty watch with a silver dial.

It’s a tough choice! They result in two distinct personalities, which is not always the case with dial colour.

I do agree that the choice would result in 2 different personalities. When in doubt i tend to pick the more neutral colour - black in this case. It’s more timeless in my opinion. Blue just became popular in recent years. But really, one cant go wrong with... 

Enjoy it ! It’s a versatile piece with few straps provided.

I like the 4500 in black and the 7900 in blue but you can't go wrong either way!

Mine says hello ...
