I agree, Dean
I agree with everything you wrote in your mini-review of the VCOS. This watch is so comfortable on the rubber strap. I, too, never wear it on the leather strap, but I do like it on the beautiful bracelet. I won't say it is as comfortable as the rubber strap, but it is gorgeous and still quite comfortable.
I love the cal. 1137 as well. It always performs beautifully, just as you described. That is why I am not in a hurry to see it replaced with an in-house movement for the Overseas Chrono.
So glad you are enjoying the Gen 2 Overseas. I really like the gray version so much.
Best,

Overseas Strap Changing Procedure

Thank you Dean....
this is a great reference for people, and I will put it on the VC Blog for easier reference for readers. Bill
Its such an enjoyable watch to wear Bill
I love the comfort of the rubber strap so much that the grey alligator came off when it arrived and hasn't been back on yet. Well-fitting for its size; the largest I'd previously owned was 40mm so there was a bit of apprehension until first worn but that ...

A perverse thought
Hi respo. Yes, for a sports watch it would be hard to improve upon such a robust and servicable movement as the FP 1185. I believe VC is deep into development of a column-wheel chronograph and eagerly await this but wouldn't consider it heresy to see the ...
Perverse indeed.....
and I can't see that happening under any scenario! Calibre 1120 watches are so expensive that it would be completely unrealistic to put a highly modified (module chronograph) version in an Overseas, VC's "entry level" watches. Bill
Understood Bill, but...
who would have though of an OS Perpetual Calendar until VC did it? And the 18k gold watch & bracelet OS isn't exactly entry-priced :-0 The Overseas has proven to be an extremely flexibile line, from tool watches to haute horlogerie! What I'm sayin her...
