I have a gen2 and a gen3 Overseas, the blue dial gen3 is the best dial choice for the current gen by a lot IMO. The VC Overseas blue is up there with the FPJ Chronometre Bleu, some Moser and (IMO) Arnold & Son dials as the prettiest blue in the game.

Not a blue watch guy is all. I have green eyes so I like black dial (or green dial).

Buy an overseas is on my short list (assuming my AD does not come through with the full diamond Daytona).

As someone suggested downthread, I think the Glashutte Panomatic Lunar with green dial is one of the nicest greens out there. For me the Overseas green just falls a little flat.

I want a John Mayer Daytona. The original one, not the new one with the sub dials. My partner has one but he won’t sell it to me.

Overseas is black dial best for me. Actually all VC I like black or white dial.

Edit: I’d also do a MK1 Kermit even though I hate cyclops date Rolex.

This isn’t necessarily why someone would buy an expensive watch (although I wouldn’t do so because I don’t even wear a watch), but you’re responding to Are Reptile who constantly tries to flex on here like he’s rich. (He is not rich, he’s an in house lawyer in manhattan)

But if you are, I guess you have to get a luxury steel sports watch of some sort because its the most popular and versatile style right now.

That one is classic and probably sought after equally or more than the new ones.

Dial exclusivity matters way more for GS than anything imho.

I think a lot of that is overblown internet whining. I haven't tried that model on, but I have a Zenith Defy 21 El Primero Ultraviolet and people cry about the clasp on that being so uncomfortable they can't wear it. Has never struck me as the slightest bit uncomfortable.

i've noticed a thing common to all forms of collecting where a known reviewer will exaggerate a very minor perceived flaw or preference. It will be totally inconsequentia for example a knife handle not being adequately contoured and the reviewer labeling it a "hotspot" that painfully digs into your hand if you try to use it.

People then latch onto these mantras to sound like they know what they are talking about or to dismiss a product that competes with their preferred brand or model.

i'm not crazy about the chronomaster sport with the big thick bezel. In that price range I'd much rather get the chronomaster original moonphase. I think it looks better without the bezel and the added calendar and moonphase give it an element of elegance.

The titanium sport with bezel looks the best

This older 42mm el primero (or the aluminum black panda) is a better version of the dial you like imo

Disagree. I prefer the current 38mm version. I think the bold lines on the subdials ruin the predecessor oafish 42mm version.

42mm is lighter and thinner (aluminum or ceramic vs steel)

I think the date spread out in 3 different locations on yours (and bottom not vertically aligned or at 6 o'clock) ruins the entire thing. The moonphase is cool but unnecessary for an El Primero and Omega does those way better

$20k is a no-mans land budget for a nice (new) watch: anything nice by vc/ap/patek is $25k+ and below that you might as well just get a rolex or omega if you want a sports watch.

i guess i'd get a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms

The last time I was in a Blancpain boutique, which was admittedly a few years ago the guy there said he would discount from MSRP to the same 11-12k level (was in TTTSEF Dubai). Maybe things have changed. 20k for that is LJL.

I just assume the plastic collabs will disintegrate in like 2 years max. Also even though obv i’m relying on the dive computer I wear a diver on my other wrist as a double backup just in case. Not sure how WR is on the collabs.

charging gets routine especially with a 3x wireless charging stand--I just drop my watch on it before I shower and it's fully charged by the time I'm dressed.

there are 180 apps for golf or skiing in your case that give actual useful HUD info. I can change spotify songs without pulling out my phone, or respond to texts. I would never use a normal watch again tbh

Why are there not any high end watches with tritium tubes? I bought a Luminox on extreme discount (it was $120 for the carbonox aka plastic field watch) and I have to say being able to read it at night is very nice so I don’t open my phone to know what time it is.
