VC overseas VS Rolex sky dweller
Hi,
I'm lost between vc overseas automatic in rose gold with leather strap and Rolex sky dweller in everose gold with leather strap. I first fall in love with sky dweller which look stunning but I describe it as "drug dealer's" watch as it is so loud and catchy. But I love the feel, look and technical aspect.
Yesterday when I visit vc store and have a second look at the overseas, it looks so refined. Subtly loud but low profile. Although vc has better brand image, I think other than overseas longer history than sky dweller, overseas is short in technical advancement as compares to sky dweller.
However, I think the overseas can be an everyday watch and can be evening piece but the sky dweller is more evening use rather than for daily office wear.
Any thought on this 2 very different animal?
I also hope both will have open back case. Do you think there will be chance in the future the watch will show their back side?

VC overseas VS Rolex sky dweller
Hi, I'm lost between vc overseas automatic in rose gold with leather strap and Rolex sky dweller in everose gold with leather strap. I first fall in love with sky dweller which look stunning but I describe it as "drug dealer's" watch as it is so loud and ...
If i was choosing.....
.....on this one i would go VC. It is more subtle and has more of an element of classicism to it. The sky dweller is just an altogether different animal. This is ALL personal taste..... it depends what you want from it
How good if I can have both
Hi Baron, I total agree with you. Actually I have the answer. I love both of them but...... I can only afford one of them and would like to see how others look, analyse and compare these two different animals.
it does come down to personal taste
I am a white metal guy.....I have very few dress watches, mostly tool..... i prefer very simple watches, with as few complications as possible.... ...so possibly I am not the guy here.
Try this....
If I may suggest the following: Since your interest is on a Rose Gold Overseas, try the Rose Gold Dual Time on a strap. It is a bit more expensive, but is worth every extra dollar. Overall, the Overseas in Pink Gold is more unique and more of a classic "s...
The Overseas is a great daily wearer.....
whether steel or gold, as many participants here will attest. I don't have experience with the Rolex. This is such a personal choice, too. I have always found Rolex's Everose to be too bright for my taste. Good luck with your decision. Bill
Agree to go with the Dual Time version of the Overseas
the aesthetics are a completely personal choice - for me, I love the VC Overseas line. Beyond the purely aesthetic, I ask what you value in a watch. Rolex and Vacheron are pretty far apart when it comes to the "ethos". This too is somewhat of a personal t...
As others have said...
It really makes sense to compare the Skydweller to the Overseas Dualtime. In any case, however, I will take the Overseas (any model) over the Skydweller every day of the week and twice on Sundays. The VC is just beautifully finished inside and out. Rolex ...
Hey, that's my wrist!!
But it wasn't my Overseas... :-( Are you thinking Overseas Automatic with gray dial, respo? Bill
Sorry to steal your "wrist"... I was not at a computer with one of mine...
Here is mine... A little blurry, but I think you get the point. ...
Another vote for the OS
Again, it comes down to personal taste, and the Sky Dweller just doesn't ring my bell. A gold GMT might though... I just became an Overseas owner this week and it has not left my wrist. As mentioned, the clasp and band is extremely well thought out and co...
I never liked time date Overseas
But I love the chrono OS. Believe it or not in this case, Rolex all the way. The sky dweller is a busy techy watch but it oozes Rolex DNA and if I were a red gold showy guy... That would be my choice between these two. However, if you want to choose the t...
between these 2...
I would choose the VC overseas. I may choose a regular Everose gold Rolex datejust over the VC but not the Sky Dweller which I feel looks a bit busy for my taste. Let us know what you finally choose and we will celebrate with you regardless of your choice...
Although it's clearly os but...
Hi all, Thank you for all the invaluable analysis and comments. It think overall it is clear that overseas has the most "like" but sky dweller by no mean has no follower. I really love os simple, elegant and low profile look. It's really a piece that you ...
Another option
I do not own any Rolex, and have only tried on a couple. So, I have no real expertise there. But reading your last comments lead me to have you consider another option. I own a Patek 5711. Symmetrical dial. Brown dial, which is very interesting In the lig...
Another true lover
Hi 4Js, Thanks for sharing the lovely pic of the patek on your wrist. I have to say all my description of the overseas will be for your patek. And you know what? If I have that patek on my wrist, I will have trouble no to continue looking at it. In fact, ...
As requested...

OMG.....
With that watch on your wrist you can drive? If it were to be me, I will be staring at the watch more than looking at the traffic. Blue dial is unique. Love it with the blue rubber strap. Cool!
AP - Royal Oak
check the 41 mm in Pink Gold; in both the white & black dial, it's a real beauty. IMHO better than the VC equivalent. The Rolex is a different beast...the VC Chrono in Rose Gold with dual strap again stands to be compared with the AP RO Chrono. Here, ...
I did think of AP RO but......
Hi Mally, Thanks for the recommendation of AP RO. Just to share my opinion and encounter with the RO. If I remember correctly, 41mm model was released few years back. I found Early model below 40mm a bit small for my wrist and When I saw the 41mm in magaz...
VC All The Way
Sorry to jump into this conversation on the late side. I believe the Vacheron Overseas is far superior to the Skydweller. The refinement mixed exclusivity makes the VC a home run. Exhibition backs may be in the future for VC, when they reintroduce the lin...
Absolutely Agree
Definitely Vacheron Constantain is in a higher class than Rolex .The latter is not among the Haute Horology .
