Sorry, I failed to answer your question...the new version is the new VC overseas...the date is at 4:30 not at 3....I'm not reffering to rep versions...I do not know how many different versions there are.

I am not going to promote the VC seller since the one I purchased arrived missing the lume on the #9 position...when I requested an exchange (as per their warranty) I was ignored....I will say, in my months of research of the reps prior to purchase ( I should have put as much time researching the sellers!), it seems to me, there are only three manufacturers...I am basing that on the serial numbers on the back...I got the one ending with 322. No cannon holes in the ship on the back, but I have never seen a gen and don't know if this is there or not. Otherwise, the date window is really the only issue for me... they can be re-lumed easily. Also, mine has the gold 2836-1 movement, but I don't mind that so much.

Has anyone tried to file the date window at an angle?...don't know that i'm daring enough.

For what it's worth, the new bracelet belongs on the new model...i don't even think it will fit the old overseas version....also, the style is completely different as the new bracelet is designed as one with the watch itself...

And for those of you shopping for the overseas, I have just received the new version and it's spot on, except for the date window (and the AR which is never right)....i have never seen a rep with the correct date window, so, please let me know if you find one ( or a gen dial)

Thanks!

For what it's worth, I'm looking for the same dial should this guy have more than one ( 47040/B01A - 9093 this is the bigger "jumbo" Overseas model!!) black or white if fine.

Or if anyone has any leads on a gen. for the 42.5mm men's version of the overseas.

Thanks!
