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 have the gray slate dial and thought it would be different. In the end I wish I would have gotten the blue.. So i vote blue

rolehex · 30 July 2017, 04:54 PM

blue

1William · 30 July 2017, 10:16 PM

I prefer the blue.

AK797 · 30 July 2017, 10:18 PM

Blue for sure, nicer shade than most brands.

One Ping Only · 30 July 2017, 11:59 PM

The brown is nice, but I prefer the blue.

lapince · 31 July 2017, 01:28 AM

Blue of course, it's amazing in real

Minimalist · 31 July 2017, 04:34 AM

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.

2JHead · 1 August 2017, 06:02 AM

No love for the brown?

kunlun · 1 August 2017, 08:44 AM

I know I'm going out on a limb here, but: Blue!!!

The silver is nice, too.

Peterandwatches · 1 August 2017, 08:49 AM

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

RO is nice but I find VCO nicer

Now a naught would be something but hey they seem to run 30k these days

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

Yeah I was going brown but now, not so much. The resale is bad enough for a VC as is, dont't know if I have the balls to go with the least popular color.

subtona · 1 August 2017, 01:29 PM

based on the pics i am having a difficult time deciding.

Star Ferry · 1 August 2017, 01:47 PM

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

Hope you are getting it through grey dealer, I saw them at serious discount on chrono24 last time I looked, I think retail is 22, saw them from 13 to 15 if I remember correctly, excuse menin advance if I am mistaken on the prices,
But clearly steep discounts, talking SS 3 hander of course

Brown / unique dare to be different
Silver / meh

yeah I figure this is on the money

tyler1980 · 4 August 2017, 11:45 AM

Blue. in person, the blue dial looks so good.

psv · 4 August 2017, 11:48 AM

That blue is something else.

rossi46 · 4 August 2017, 01:44 PM

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!

regnant · 4 August 2017, 06:29 PM

Blue

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