Yes you’re right never say never.
But what I meant was; till now I never acquired a Patek
VC somehow has got it right to get the proper atmosphere within their boutiques. Equal service attitude around the globe with the odd exception
I have met with some high level executives from VC and what I understood from them is that they put a lot of training, efforts and resources into creating that brand image and recognition.
I’m not saying other brands don’t do that as I’m sure they will. But in my experience VC is just but more successful at it.
Blancpain same thing: pretty successful at it.
I hope you’ll wear bit the Gen 2 as well as the Gen 3 in good health and pride as they are 2 great time pieces from a brand I admire

Vacheron Overseas 2-3

I have always like the overseas and it’s a joy to have both version Should I trade one for Aquanaut? If yes, which one? Or I should forget about Aquanaut since I was told by boutique that only those worthy can get one and wear it. ...
+1.

Unless you're looking for a watch that is recognized by everybody, keep the Overseas. It's a super cool and very versatile watch, especially the blue Gen 3.
Still thinking

Thanks. I think both overseas and aquanaut is equally good although many may not agree. As a watch lover, I don’t favour brands but wear what I like and desire to own. However the aquanaut is no longer collectible like the overseas but a trade item for so...
Another vote for keeping the Overseas

The Aquanaut does nothing for me from a design perspective and this 'worthy' stuff is a real turn-off. Love the blue Overseas chronograph, I hope to add one to the collection soon.
If you want to trade one of them...

I would keep the one on the left, even though it's based on the FP1185 movement. Why? The balance, the large date, the dial, are all gorgeous. The blue is nice, for sure, but I prefer, in the long term, the dial of the one on the right. -Dean

Your remark on the attitude of Patek is exactly why I never bought a Patek. I recognize it very well
Let’s not say never. Let’s wait.

Maybe I should keep both and wait till maybe next generation for an aquanaut. I bought my gen 3 as the VC boutique was super nice and provide great experience.

I think both patek and VC are great manufacturers and it’s the number of watches made available for collectors. We are simple collectors who just want to own a few to appreciate the watch (not price) and maybe pass down for next generation who may appreci...
Thanks
