Is this way too big for my 6.5 inch wrist?

It is definitely on the borderline. I have a 7 1/4 inch wrist and it fits me well but it is very flat and very wide.

Looks ok in that shot. But looking from above on your wrist, it will appear big. I have a 6.5 inch wrist too and couldn’t get comfortable with the large sports watch look. I ended up moving it but I miss it. If you are comfortable in wearing a large sports watch that will occupy all of the top of your wrist, you will be ok.

Not at all. It looks great. It is a sports watch. It is meant to be bold.

That's fit well for your wrist. Although I have 6.9 inch wrist but Overseas 2nd and 3rd gen is big for me, maybe because shape of my wrist is round, not flat as yours

For someone who has seen the black dial dual time in person....is the dial that deep inky/gloss black like the time only black dial?

It seem like the blue and black dials are deep and lacquered almost and the silver and brown are sunray. Is that correct and is it the same for the dual time, chrono and time only?

Or are the black dials different on any of the three?

Thanks!

I had the 3rd generation black dial three hander. In many ways it’s a perfect watch. The strap change system is superbly implemented. My issue was with the dial - I just found it too metallic/shiny. The same is true, for me, with the blue and brown versions. The silver, less so but it’s not really my style. My favourite is the ultra thin grey dial but obviously that’s a different ball park. I just wish they’d gone with more of a matt or textured finish on the dials and am still hoping for new releases that do.

I think this is too big for my wrist but I still want one. The boutique in Singapore told me that the stainless simple dates had sold out.

I cant stop thinking about getting on board with a VCO 4500V Black dial. No ADs near me in Michigan so I can't try one on my 7" flat wrist first. Any suggestions besides C/24? Maybe a road trip to Chicago or wait for a Florida vacation but not to thrilled about Mayors..I've also thought of chatting direct but I dont know if that would help and it would be nice to get a discount. Right now it seems like C/24 is my best option. Any ideas??
I'm loving this one!

We have a boutique here in Toronto, not sure if that’s nay closer but you’ll do really well on the dollar exchange.

I had a look at the black dial a couple of weeks back ... lovely and about $24500 CDN as I recall.

EDIT: I have a flat shaped 7” wrist and the fit was absolutely perfect IMO.

Thanks Brandrea, same wrist size too. I will check out Toronto, (one of three ADs) and the current exchange. I'm getting closer to making a decision on how to do this and just started to reach out and spoke with one (non ad) so far..

Make sure they have one in Chicago. Score making the trip. The retailer here Marshall Pierce - who I had a good previous experience with - was TOO soft sell.

I had stopped in twice over a two month span - chatted and said I’d like to try one on before ordering - gave them my name and number - and never heard from them. I finally called and wanted a price before ordering. I was told they were “hot” so not much discount but they’d have Jerry (the owner) call me to discuss. Never heard from him - strange because I had just purchased a watch from Jerry a few months before.

Long story short I got frustrated - I shouldn’t have to beg a store to take my business - and ended up going Chrono24 from a dealer with great reviews. The dealer sourced a new VC OS from an authorized dealer - warranty was registered - and I’m pleased as punch.

I will say Marshall Pierce will let you order one under no obligation - you can try it on and see if it’s to your liking - but I have a 7”ish wrist and love the OS!

Thanks for your reply Verbow. I'll PM you.

I've been interested in the automatic version but concerned about the fit/size on a 6.6inch wrist and I don't have any ADs around nor resellers with stock. I try and visit ADs when traveling for business but so far no luck with ADs having stock or my schedule doesn't allow a visit.
Wondering if Robbyman pulled the trigger, more pics?

Not gone for it yet, I’m still thinking if I can pull it off or not.

Incredible. What is the reference on that one?

(Ok I found it, the 49140)

Are the rubber/leather straps aftermarket or OEM for Vacheron?

i've briefly considered getting a second hand overseas but i'd likely have to resize (enlarge) the bracelet. is it pretty hassle free to do so?

[chunk2020]

Yes you’re right it’s the gen1 which oringinally was on a bracelet but stuck on a nice vacheron strap.. I quite like straps as they accentuate the case and bezel design.

The OS1 was a brick bracelet, not like the OS2 and OS3 Maltese cross bracelets

OS1 fit nicely on my wrist

Stuck between the blue and the black dials. On the one hand, I love that shade of rich blue. The blue would also add a splash of color to my monochrome collection (black Explorer and Khaki; silver Patek 5196g). On the other hand, I worry the blue is too flashy. Black is also my default color for all non-work clothes and I think the more timeless choice. If I go with the black, and I think I’m leaning that way, I like the idea of gifting the Explorer to a family member. Thoughts welcome.

If you like black, go black. I personally think the black strap and band would be more universal to your wardrobe than the blue offered with the blue dial. Both are stunners and you cannot make a bad choice. However, my vote for you is on the black dial.

There is an Overseas openworked perpetual calendar in the works. Should be a cracker.
