Nope. [emoji4] But I'm slightly biased as very happy owner of the blue dial version.

Seriously, though, there are a number of other options-there's a thread here with a great summary including pictures of watches in this category.

Hey guys checking to see your thoughts about this one. VC Overseas 4500V/110A-B126

I love the look of this watch and the 3 straps that come with it. Gives a great option to mix it up a bit.

My question is does anything else come to mind in that price range that you experts might recommend that I might be overlooking before my next purchase? I appreciate the thoughts and suggestions. Thank you

Maybe something here? Not all in the same price range... but all high end integrated bracelets (or a similar look).

Can you please edit the pic you posted? The RO should be at the top row, by itself

(the 2nd row can arguably have every single other one. The Tissot Gentleman, too).

 

I'm biased of course and love my Overseas more than any on the page. I went for the 4500V/110A B483.. Couldn't be happier.

If you buy the Chopard Alpine Eagle, you'll have the whole top row of the collage!

 

Get the Overseas!
I'm happy to see more and more people finally start to realize what a nice piece it is.
Personally I like my black dial 4500V the most, then the discontinued brown dial second---always think the blue is too saturated under certain lightings..

 

I did. 2 weeks ago. A black on. Totally agree with you on the blue one..

 

If you like the VC Overseas, I would just go ahead and buy it if you have the funds. It has one of the best blue dials of any of the stainless steel integrated options available and probably has the best bracelet at the price. Being able to quick change to two different straps without a tool is also very convenient and it's your first choice, so you probably won't regret buying it instead of something that you decided to settle for.

If you're looking for an alternative that's not derivative but still of similar price and quality, then maybe the H. Moser Streamliner with the green dial would be something to consider.

I'll second that Streamliner

 

Biased here, I have the VC 4500V in blue. The black dial is amazing too. The silver is nice as well for a very different look (as is the discontinued brown).

My personal short list would be: VC Overseas 4500V or Breguet Marine 5517 in Ti. If you want a smaller brand in the higher end range, the Urban Jurgensen One, Moser Streamliner, and Czapek Antarctique are nice too.

The picture posted includes most of the options. The Zenith Defy might be worth considering if you want a less expensive watch (along with the Chopard and Parmigiani).

 

The 4500v is a phenomenal watch. The non hacking seconds was a non-issue for me but the thin font of the dates did not resonate with me well. So I went with the dual time 7900v. Could not have more happy. Some of my own pictures for the push/influence or plain enabling.. LOL. The blue dial is an absolute stunner. You can see the differences based on different lighting conditions.

 

Absolutely stunning photos. Thank you for sharing. I will definitely explore the option.

In my opinion no. Buy what you love. And do it quickly.
The Overseas will soon become the "new" Nautilus once the hype beasts,
Soundcloud rappers and IG influencers start "bussing" them down.

 

This was my first VCOS

followed by this one

after aquiring my 2ng gen VCOS i acquiried the APRO then the PP5712. When i had only the VCOS, i thought it was the greatest watch in the world. great case, great movement, very comfortable etc.
Once i acquiried the other steel holly trinity, it started getting less and less wrist time. now my APRO gets most of my wrist time followed by the 5712 in special occasions.
my advice is simply this, if you are going to go VCOS, go all the way and don't look for other holly trinity. otherwise cut your losses short and get the other ones if you desire them

 

I went to my favorite AD to buy a AP RO 15400. They had the 1st in that store VC 4500. I took one look at bought it instead. I wear it all the time. My other watches are jealous. I eventually got a 15400. I wear the VC 8x more often. It has been to 100+ shotgun shooting tournaments on my wrist and has never missed a beat.

 

I keep coming back to this post everyday just to look at the pictures. I swear I will have this watch someday soon

 

Awhile ago I bought one of the Wempe Iron Walker watches with the integrated bracelet and a blue dial. I absolutely love it and believe it to be a phenomenal watch for buyers like myself. Then I came on here, and I saw some folks calling it a poor man's Overseas, which I wasn't familiar with at the time.

Anyways, I see the Reference: 4500V/110A-B128 on the VC site and I can see what they mean. That said, the VC version is an absolute, next level type of stunner. The overall look, automatic, 22K gold oscillating weight, their somewhat unique strap system, etc.

So what am I really saying?

I can't convince myself to spend $20K on a watch, but I'm glad to drool at the pictures.

 

OK guys I have decided to go with the 5500v. Now comes the experience question. I personally have not purchased a brand new watch before. My automatics have either been purchased from this site, joma, or a local friend/acquaintance. It looks like my current options are the VC website which they are sending photos and videos to me to look at or a website like chrono. I've seen new 5500v on chrono. Do you all feel I should go with VC website or chrono....or does it really not matter? Thanks again

VC provides a very good boutique experience. I would recommend you calling the boutique and placing the deposit for the watch. If you live stateside, you can call the boutique in NY.

I am assuming your wrist is bigger or close to 7.5". The 5500v is 42.5mm and wears pretty big on the wrist.

 

Wow...now you have me worried. This sounds weird because of the size difference but I have a Planet Ocean 600m and its 43.5. My wrist is 7". I feel good with the Omega watch (its definitely as big as I feel my wrist can handle but not to overpowering). Does the VC wear bigger for some reason? Wish I could visit and see in person but not really possible. Thoughts??

 

Omega Planet Ocean's 43.5mm is not same as VC's 42.5mm.. The lug to lug on the Omega 43.5mm PO is around 50mm and it wouldn't be overpowering on a wrist as small as 6.75". However the endlinks of the VC bracelet flare out which makes the lug to lug a little more than than the Omega's. On the rubber strap it may be appear fine. The 42.5 is a chunky watch without question. My wrist is around 7" inches as well and the 41mm VCO Dual time was the max I could have gone. However, I am a little conservative with the watch sizes. Your taste may be different.

Attached are pictures of 3 different watches on the same wrist in almost the same angle. Credit goes to "bayareawatchcollector" on IG.

Hopefully it can give you a perspective. I was fortunate enough to try out all the 3 versions (4500v, 7900v, 5500v) before buying the 7900v.

 

Are you able to go to a local or regional AD or boutique? If needed, I would travel to see the watches and try them on before buying.

 

Well guys I wanted to jump on here and let everyone know that I just purchased my VC 7900v and it will be delivered to me on Wednesday. Thank you all for the assistance and I can't wait to receive it. The boutique worked with me well and sent a ton of photos and videos. This is my first covid style purchase. Kind of shocking to me to purchase a new watch from a boutique this way but what the heck it was fun. Thanks again... Can't wait to report the arrival.

 

Man I'm excited as all get out for you! Can't wait to see your pictures!

 

Congratulations! Can I ask why our decided the 7900v in the end? I'm in the processing of making the same decision, thankfully there's a boutique in my city so I can put a deposit down and still decide while I wait.

 

Totally size of the watch. After listening to advice hear and recommendation from the boutique I decided to go with the 7900v. The boutique did an excellent job of sending me photos and videos. They had a person there with the same size wrist as me (actual size 6.75" wrist). They sent me a ton of wrist shots with both watches. Even before the photos I started believing the watch would be a bit of an issue because they are in the business to make sales and once they heard what size wrist I have they started towards the somewhat less expensive 7900v. They actually asked me about my thoughts on the 7900v because of size. I didn't bring it up to them.

Also....I do really love both watches. I don't feel the 7900v is a let down at all. It has unique characteristics (to me) that my watch collection doesn't currently possess.

Thx and good luck

 

Can I just ask those that have the 4500v what the accuracy is like? I'm extremely interested in the silver dial version. Many thanks

 

Totally know what you're saying. Size wise I'm in the same position, 5500v would be too large so it's between the 4500v or 7900v for me. I was able to try both on today with silver dials and a blue dial tourbillon so got a good sense of sizing and the dial color. I put down a deposit for the 4500v today; but have to wait 6-9 months on it now.

 

Congratulations! Hopefully the time flies by for you (pun intended). I purchased mine from the boutique in New York so they were overnighting it to me today. Should be here tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
Please share photos of your arrival when it comes in. Congrats again and take care!

 

Well guys it arrived today and I can't imagine being happier. The quality is totally on point and the fit is wonderful (except for the bracelet), needs to be fitted. The package this thing came in was unbelievable. No chance of damage. Here are a few photos for hopefully your enjoyment. Thanks again for the help.

 

Congratulations! It's beautiful

 

Huge Congratulation @Rglane828 on your new watch. Wear it in good health. I feel that we almost lived thru your journey of decision making. Great watch and great wristshots. Welcome to Club Vacheron.

 

Just put down a deposit for a Dual Time Overseas today at the boutique in Costa Mesa, CA. Blue dial of course. VC told me to expect a 4-5 month wait for delivery straight from Geneva. They had both silver and black dials on display so I was able to try them on for size. Also had an Overseas Tourbillon steel in blue so I got to see the same color as the watch I ordered. Man, is it a stunner. Can't wait to get it!

Now I have to sell my Girard Perregaux Laureato Chrono. Would keep it but my eyes are going bad since last Feb and I have trouble reading the subdials along with the Clous de Paris texture distorting my vision. Started happening about 3 mos after I purchased. Anyone ever sell on Chrono24?

 

I tried the tourbillon on a days ago..blew me away.

 

I really need to handle one of these in the metal. Photos do not speak to me but it’s overwhelmingly recommended as an amazing piece

I will agree that I took a little risk but I absolutely love my VC. Hope you make it to a boutique to see for yourself. Good luck

 

Good to see VC doing well with the Overseas. They needed a winner and deserve it — most innovative of the holy trinity over the last decade or so.

 

love mine
