VC Overseas

I was looking at an Overseas Chrono the other day, and I think it looks pretty decent,

but since I'm a fairly big guy, I was wondering is it just me that wishes they made this line a little bit bigger like a 46mm, the 42mm just looks kind of small on my wrist, when compared to my other watches in my collection.

I think 42 is perfect for this model IMO. Im sure it would look great on you, 46 would be overkill (you can always get a Panerai). I wish they would get rid of that 1 over-sized register to give it better symmetry.
I saw the special boutique only version with a blue face and it was gorgeous.

There are already too many 46mm watches. The world doesn't need another one.

Head on over to IWC. They'll set you up with a 46mm dress watch. Not really, I think it's a measly 44mm.

Iwc and panerai are perfect brands for those with NBA player wrists.

I think VC should release a thin caliber 2121 Overseas, like the sort of original model 222 at 37-40 mm. If you want big, try the AP ROO. I think there is at least one 48 mm model.

I tried one on in Vegas a few months back. Looks WAY too small on the wrist for a 42mm. It wears like a 39mm.

^^ It could be your photo but IMO that's how a watch is supposed to look on a wrist. It doesn't look small in the least.

Cant judge how it looks from close up pics due to the fisheye effect, need to have at least 12-15 inches gap from camera to arm to get a realistic view.
