Need help deciding on VC Overseas dial
Guys,
here's the deal: I am dead set on getting the VC overseas, newest model, 3 hander version. Dial selection as you may know is silver, blue and brown. I do not live anywhere near an AD and plan on buying the watch unseen and untried, getting it shipped form the AD. Yeah I know. I was set on the brown dial as I love it and my thoughts were the silver is too boring and the blue is well, too blue. Then I went on a youtube and google spree and what do you know: The silver dial really pops! The blue dial is crazy cool! Here are some facts: I have a black gold sub as I think the blue is too blue. I love the blue Nautilus and RO. I do not care for silver dials on DD's but I like the silver on the RO. And the white dial Nautilus. I love the root beer GMT's, both YG and TT versions. I am stupid enough to pay $15-20k for a watch unseen and untried and I hence obviously need (professional?) help. Please chip in with what dial you like on the VC Overseas and why Maybe someone would be able to post some nice pics of their VC Overseas? |

I recently tried on the overseas and while it didn't gel with me, I think blue is the one to go for followed closely by the brown which is quite unique also.

Silver or blue, but why not just go for a RO in that price range?

Brown is getting no love in the polls. Not a single person yet voted for brown.

If you want an understated look, then I like brown dial on brown rubber. For a sport look, blue dual on blue rubber

I tried on all 3 dial variations at Wempe just last week. I went there thinking I'd like the blue best, but I left preferring the white/silver dial.
The blue is a very "electric" blue. It's nothing like the Royal oak or nautilus blue. Just make sure you want a super vibrant, almost brash blue if you go that route. I found the white/silver to be a great color!

I went for the brown dial, no regrets so far. It is under the radar, but also kind of unique.
