Yeah I don't think they know what they are talking about! Why would they discontinue one of their best lines!

I read elsewhere (am I allowed to refer to other sites by name?) that VC recently instructed its ADs to stop taking orders on the Overseas until further notice. However, the assumption was that VC did this due to production slowdowns caused by COVID. Maybe this is true, and the sales rep just misinterpreted that instruction to mean that VC was discontinuing the line altogether.

I received my deposit back on blue dial three hander from a dealer in London saying they did not expect to get anymore. But was in the VC boutique in Moscow last week and the SA told me that they were not discounted and they expected to receive a blue dial three hander and a dual time in a month or so. The SA said there was a slow down in relation to the closure / reduced output of the manufacture, but no discontinuation.

My guess would be the limited supply of blue dial variants is headed mainly to VC boutiques for the time being. Watches of Switzerland might therefore not be able to get hold of them.

Hmmmm I deal with the NYC boutique and didn't get that...I'll text them

and now I'm obsessed with Overseas. How this brand doesn't get the love PP and AP get is beyond me. This watch in person is better than a nautilus

Stunning. Thanks for sharing.

Why AP gets the love it still gets is beyond me. Most of their pieces are hideous with the exception of a few of the RO. But obviously some people like them.

VC are very underrated and undervalued.

Just look at the price you can buy a gen 1 or gen 2 overseas at compared to the current version.....value!

There’s a blue one in the case at a Bucherer not far from here, they’re still fairly easy to come by...

I am SOOO waiting for a titanium version!

Perhaps the blue chrono versions are easier to get, but not the three-hand. Long waiting lists, according to the NYC boutique. Some ADs are not even taking deposits for them.

We need another photo! I realize the bracelet and rubber get most of the love, but really liking the dark blue gator strap too.

Great picture of the blue leather! I think I'm going to put the leather on mine too!

My blue dial dual-time arrived today, and I am thrilled! I was aware, of course, that the watch lacked the hacking feature, but I was under the impression that it could be back-hacked. Mine does not do that apparently. For those that have the 7900V dual-time, is that the case for you as well?

Just wondering why hacking is so important? I've heard this before about the Overeseas (all versions), and I could never understand why hacking is such a sought-after feature.

Even the best automatic mechanical movements in the world, including these by VC, can lose/gain a second or two a day, even in the best of circumstances. So, the "hack" of a mechanical watch to the second just seems unnecessary, IMHO. You hack the watch, and 12 hours later it's already lost/gained a second, so what's the point?

Not judging, just genuinely curious. And if the answer is only, "because it's a cool feature," I'd buy that!

Yo yo party people just checking in!

Anyone know if VC offers custom rubber straps for the Overseas like they do for the leather straps?

Not sure about custom but they definitely have a selection of different colour rubber straps. Wish they would also offer other strap options, would love to try it out on a fabric/nato style strap

I asked the Beverly Hills boutique that very question earlier this year, and was told at this time the custom colors are for the leather straps only. Hoping they can eventually do the same for the rubber!

No custom for the rubber straps and they have pretty limited options in what's available..

I'm thinking of picking up the white rubber strap for my blue chrono!

Still haven't heard back on pricing for the custom leathers

Has anyone had to wait for a overseas blue dial? The VC boutique here in Singapore says there is a long long waiting list.

I’m on a waiting list here in Canada, and I’m told they can no longer order the Dual Time.

Been wanting to see the Overseas Tourbillon in real life

[raclaims]

I can do my best to describe it if you like? It's a bit bizarre at first to have such a nice dial and tourb in a ss case but it's fun and casual yet elegant and I can't say enough about wearing it on the rubber...it's a really unique experience...light, attractive, legible, dress up/down easily. Still may have preferred it in WG or Platinum maybe but it stands out in my collection as something different which isn't easy these days

[watchucallit]

I generally love the strap, bracelet and rubber strap they supply with many of their oversea pieces. I prefer the steel

Great pics. Been looking at the overseas for awhile. That blue is stunning. Seeing your username assuming you are an StL guy too?
