Your analysis regarding changing markets is, in my view, spot on.
I also fully agree that the Overseas is not only a success from day 1, but it would appear that the rate of success is increasing as time progresses. Careful well thought out introduction of newer versions with different complications while preserving those elements that characterize the series (like you mentioned the special blue hue, the strap system etc) is fantastic.
I have posted many times that the strap system is a feature not to be underestimated. It may seem so simple even insignificant, but once you’re used to it, you’ll find out that you want it on all watches.
Personally I belong to the “old school” and its unlikely I would consider a tourbillion overseas. But I was one of the early adopters and have the chrono version (blue dial) which is absolutely great watch
Thanks for your post

At first I didn’t really „get“ this version of the Overseas but I must say it is constantly groewing on me. I need to see the pink gold version, too!
Very informative!

...but the 42.5mm seems a bit large to me. I am guessing that it is because of the peripheral rotor. In a perfect world the tourbillon would be visible only from the back.
