Rolex owners and the big 3

The new 38mm AP Chrono looks mildly interesting. But the CODE line is absolutely atrocious. I also think they botched the 15500.

I like Vacheron but as some have said the resale, need be It, is downright pathetic.

I was just in the predicament last month. I was looking at a new Overseas or the AP Royal Oak. As much as I loved the
look, style and strap change option of the Overseas, I just couldn't get past the beating on value I would have taken the minute I left the store. So I bought the AP instead.

I will say though, if the right priced Overseas comes along I may still jump in and get one though.

Obviously tastes are different. No offense to those who enjoy them, but the "sports" AP's and PP's do nothing for me aesthetically. However, I do like and have this.

Good God the new Overseas is stunning....in particular in this blue dial. I think VC might be one of the coolest brands out there. I also love the Patrimony and the 56 lines.

The cross on the dials ruins these pieces for me.

High MSRP, low resale. One of them needs to adjust, the MSRP in my opinion is what needs to move.

Had an AP ROO Diver for a wee while, that was the only one that appealed. The second gen overseas I like a lot, especially with the blue dial, great value on the secondary market...Quite like the Patek Pilot, but not at that price...There are way more appealing IWC's, Omegas, Blancpains, JLC's Seiko's to chose from, but I'm the sort of person who'd rather own 12 X $5K watches than 1 X $60k watch

I would take a VC overseas over a Daytona any day.

But, thats where my interest stops.

I have both. The VC Overseas Chrono is a much nicer watch than the Daytona. There really is just no comparison, in my view.

Except the Overseas is 42.5mm and very thick. I wanted to get one but the size always seemed too big.

This may very well be the year that I add a VC. I have my eye on. Several models

just never liked the aesthetic....I don't know why, but the bracelet and bezel remind me of Klingons from Star Trek or some sort of cyborg type thing (again, no idea why but they do lol)
