I'm a big fan of the Overseas Chrono/ Your ideas

I'm a big fan of the white dial Overseas Chrono (the black ain't too shabby either.)

IF you were going to make your perfect Overseas Chrono, what would you modify?

I have thought about a lot of variations, an all titanium case, for instance could be very nice... I've thought about a matte black dial with white on black date numerals, for that very pure maculine look...

But I keep coming back to how much I really admire the white dial as it is. About the only change I would ask for would be transparent back, even at the expense of a few meters of water resistance. I do not kid myself that I will dive with my VC

But since we have this great opportunity to work with the Bespoke department at VC, why not dare to make an Overseas Chrono truly your own? In STEEL or Ti, I'm saying.

What about a very light gray (lighter than the new gray dials) guilloche dial?

Matte black, no guilloche?

The black dial from the RG version without the rg rings on the subdials?

Classic Silver, no guilloche?

Blued hands? (not sure about that but.....)

What would you do to make your own OS chrono? Other than keep or buy the current wonderful models???

EVER thought about it?

I like this notion of working with VC and creating a very personal 'everyday' watch. This message has been edited by Mostel on 2009-10-08 16:05:06 This message has been edited by Mostel on 2009-10-08 16:05:30

Overseas Chrono Variations

By: Park : October 8th, 2009-20:38

Mostel, Two variants that I've thought about include: * White Gold or Platinum case and bracelet with guilloched blue dial, white hands and markers * Tantalum case and bracelet with guilloched grey dial, white hands and markers If I could just change a fe...

Park, very tempting variations

By: Mostel : October 8th, 2009-22:33

especially good sounding is the tantalum with gray guilloche........ oooh-la-la. WG or platinum with blue dial sounds highly luxurious, but Blue has to be the perfect blue, or it can be altogether wrong, and it's a color that would be very hard to 'design...

Perfect blue; subdials; date font

By: Park : October 9th, 2009-07:43

Mostel, I have no problem identifying the perfect blue/grey shade, as it's in use for an existing watch that I crave. (An AP ROC in WG introduced in 2008). The subdial asymmetry doesn't bother me as it does some, but the larger subdial is so easy to read ...

New appreciation for the Overseas

By: respo : October 9th, 2009-06:37

Hey M, I had a chance to try on an Overseas chron a few weeks ago at a watch event. It was a pink gold on a chocolate colored rubber strap (I believe) and the watch was a revelation for me. The combination was amazing, feeling very luxurious and sporty at...

You are.....

too kind my friend...... Cheers

I think it is a great model as is...

and there is no particular detail that would keep me from buying either the chronograph or the automatic, though I will join the chorus to say that I would like both totalizer subdials to be the same size in the chronograph. I like the idea of a white gol...

Blue

By: Park : October 9th, 2009-15:31

WHL, That's a wonderful blue, too, and the framed date window is an excellent touch. Park

That is a great blue, WHL.

As much as I like the Overseas Chronos....

By: Goh : October 9th, 2009-22:43

they are a tad too big for my Asian sized wrist (6.6"). I would like that VC offer a smaller version (39 or 40mm) of these, like the older 49140. Transparent caseback, matte black dial, smaller minute totalizer for symmetry and removing the separator on t...
