General thoughts on Vacheron Constantin Overseas (2nd Gen)

Greetings, I've been thinking about picking up a 2nd gen Overseas.

Any owners out there with feedback? Any non-owners with feedback?

Thinking about the textured, black dial variant 47040/B01A-9094 but also the silver dial is just as stunning (see pic). The black dial seems much more utilitarian to me, and almost gives off vibes of the Explorer with the 3, 6, 9 applied numerals.

At only 9.7mm thick, it's impressively thin for an anti-magnetic, shock resistant and depth rated 150m watch. But it is a VC, so I guess that's to be expected.

Prices seem great for the 2nd gen. During covid, they spiked, but now are much more reasonable.

I realize out of the PP Nautilus and AP Royal Oak, the Overseas seems to always be in 3rd place. But that's 3rd place in excellent company.

Curious if the movement has the Geneva Seal? The watch is powered by the Vacheron Constantin Calibre 1126 which is based on the (and I believe built by) Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre 889.

What do you think about it?
