Thanks.
See it in person to verify for sure as every wrist is different, but also check out Tim Mosso's video reviews on the watchbox YT channel. He puts the 4500v on his wrist and i believe his is about 6.5".

I have a 6.5" wrist as well and felt it was too big. Tastes differ though. I think the closest watch in fit is the 41mm RO - if you think that's too big then this will be too.

I’m a big fan of VC
The service from the boutique is the best of any brand
The only watch that I ever change bands on is my overseas because it’s so absurdly easy to do
I have several and just ordered 3 more VC pieces

I hope more people recognize what a fantastic brand it is

If I am buying an Overseas Dual Time Zone from Boutique, should I ask for and/or expect a discount?

I don’t think a discount is possible at the boutique. Ask for a free strap

I also love this brand and their finishing is right up there with PP and AP! Their dress watches especially the traditionelle line are simply exquisite! My lady like 49mm wrist span rule me out with the overseas 41mm silver dial! Anyone here got a Fifty-6! I actually prefer the dial on this model especially the date window seems to be better proportion! Other then not having the Geneva seal, can’t see any downside with this watch!

Thanks! I will give it a go! I think I might go for the silver dial but they now offer the blue dial on a bracelet! This may be a good daily!

Try to find a 56 Day-Date instead. They often go at very good prices wn hand or grey.

Thanks for your recommendation! I’m rubbish when it comes to negotiating a discount! This will be the first time I’m buying a watch knowing I will lose £ big time when I had the watch on my wrist! Really appreciate what sort of discount one can get with 56 or Overseas from AD! It will be my mon to fri watch and it look discrete enough not to be recognised by unpleasant characters in my city! I did think about the blue dial 37mm Overseas but where they place the second hand is a bit weird like the Pp 5712! Can’t wait to try these watches!

Does anyone know what the availability on the overseas chrono perpetuals and openworks are? Can they be purchased through ADs or are these vip only?

Which model VC rises to the popularity/desirability of the jumbo or nautilus?

I don’t know of any.

The popular models drive prices. Though VC makes quality watches, they do not have that “got to have it” watch.

The blue overseas 3-hander (4500v).

The 3-hand Overseas, reference 4500v, especially the blue dial.

Long waiting list, see now unavailability. + 40% value in second hand / gray market, in constant and future increments...

Now you know, you're welcome.

For this crazy high price, I would rather go for Rolex Day-Date (PM) or RG 4500V with some wait time next year when they re-open again.
