dluddy Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 On the current series of Overseas with the Guilloche dial, I have always preferred the White Dial. However, the previous series included a georgeous Black Dial with Arabic numbers. Here she is, reference number 42042/423A-8890, which in Vacheronese is an Overseas Chronometer, steel, black dial with Superluminova arabic numerals, W0-Mart edition Genuine from TZ for comparison: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dluddy Posted June 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 somehow find a replacement for that cross and you're really close deltatahoe Actually the cross on this one is pretty good and quite close to the genuine. Unlike the current generation dials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 shows what a VC noob i am..... regardless of what the cross looks like, i like it better than the new overseas versions hands down. are these still available, or are they a thing of the past? (it's funny how some of the older quality reps attain more status once they are no longer available) deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Tracy Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Actually the cross on this one is pretty good and quite close to the genuine. Unlike the current generation dials.Actually this cross is an inaccurate,..as are all the in-between versions... The first and lastest version are spot on however...

lefty47 Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Nice...if you like styles from 5 years ago. I received tracking info from Silix today for the latest updated VC Overseas. I am very excited about my order and can't wait for delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I find that your watch is a classic beauty. Enjoy! PS. I should pick one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzanooo Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Very nice, I have a similar version with the stick markers. Got it from El a few years back with that nice eta movement that was available for a short time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 A very nice rep indeed! I had been contemplating one of these for a long while... Noticed recently that there are still some around, though who knows for how much longer? Seems these really good examples go the way of the dodo before long... Though this one has had the resilience of a couple years on the market, at least. Maybe all old stock? I somehow doubt that they are still being manufactured, though I could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzanooo Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 First, no meaning to diverse from original post. dluddy has a watch that I truly admire & has not been given its fair time in the sun. As Eunomians has said, a classic. A very nice rep indeed! Maybe all old stock? I somehow doubt that they are still being manufactured, though I could be wrong Jay has 1, but with a see through caseback. Some of the friendly dealers maybe able to source it with a correct caseback. Here`s a pic of a old school caseback. No laser here, note the detail on the side of the ship.

dluddy Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Mine is Od School. Same Caseback. I'll try to get a good shot tomorrow. Got it from our old friend Paul Ubi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 The solid gold yacht captain did have some pretty good reps back in the day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Very nice watch - wear it well. I had one as a daily wearer for a couple of years but lost it along with an RGM chrono in one of my more expensive summer rental moves. When it came out I thought it was the coolest bracelet out there. IMHO, Breguet and VC make the nicest bracelets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I think I have that exact same model gathering dust in my watch box...never wear it, never use it, relumed it when I got it, and haven't seen it since. Guess it will go in the yard sale box later this summer... RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hmm ... the numbers are way off on the rep dial, sorry. The genuine numbers are significantly bigger than the rep dial numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hmm ... the numbers are way off on the rep dial, sorry. The genuine numbers are significantly bigger than the rep dial numbers. The Rep numbers are a little skinny compared to the genuine, yes Pug. But, who the hell is going to notice Hey Ziggy, perhaps we can work a deal for yours when I get around to doing some mods to this one.
