I would trade them for the recently launched Overseas chrono, not for the previous one.

That's tough as I really like the blnr, but I think I could let it and the other go for the vacheron.

You should check out the new Overseas before deciding. Love the blue chrono version but don't like the pricing to be honest.

If YOU are not wearing the BLNR (I understand, it doesn't do anything for me) and YOU love the VC then do the trade. Personally I would do it as well.

Sure why not? Won't be hard to get them back if you change your mind but it will cost you as flipping overseas can be painful. I would never entertain buying any vacheron brand new. This is a major turnoff for me as I like new watches.

Last but not least... The royal oak over the overseas all day err'day

...well, to answer your first question: yes, you are crazy. Now, on the VC, it is a very nice looking watch, I like the idea of getting one with no trades....just my 2 cents

I would pass on trading BLNR and DJII for VC. Design layout on VC just isn't my style, its too busy and its seems like a fusion of some other watch faces put together in one.

It's really solid well rounded collection you have. Two chronos is a little redundant.
Completely agree with your assessment above. In addition, I dislike the bezel on the VC. After frequent wearing gunk gets caught up in between the bezel notches and looks nasty.

If chrono is a must look at the AP line up, however I think you will regret getting rid of the blnr, I would get rid of the djii and add cash, keep the Blnr is any case.

The VC is cool, but I prefer the Daytona. If you're set on a black dial chrono get back on the list for a Daytona again. Or, even better, trade the BLNR and the DJ and get the rose gold ceramic Daytona from a trusted seller. PM, black/dark face, awesome watch. You might have to add some cash but not nearly as much as at an AD. You probably know this but thanh/Takuya is in Houston... and I think he has one or two.

All that said, if you want the VC get it. It is a terrific watch.

Listen to Ken.

I think the VC is a very nice looking time piece, although I don't really know a lot about them. I see in some of the comments that the resale is not the greatest, why not find a nice used one and sell one or both of the djii and blnr? Good luck with making your decision
