These plus moonwatch (not pictured). However, AP has been dominating wrist time in 2020

That’s a nice combo there! I rarely see the RG Daytona or the YG sub.

I like your bond signature.

I can relate to that, the VCO got a lot of staying power here too

If only I knew how to downsize pictures enough that the forum will let me post them, then I could share a great one from a hike I took it on yesterday

I'm still going into my office at least for now (essential communications job) and my Daytona and GMT rotate days. The Speedmaster at least one day a week.

I was lucky to receive a call from my bank before they closed the branch, so I rescued my collection

Honestly I’ve never had them together at home all at once, so I’m trying to figure out what works best for rotation.

Just before the s#*t hit the fan I sent my 690 in for service ... it’s going to be some time before I see it back

Part of the fun of being stuck at home is having the luxury of deciding.

Enjoy and Stay safe!

Love seeing the VCO dualtime. I like the gen 3 version. How does it wear? Saw videos that the band is stiff by the lugs because of the quick release. Do you notice it?

If you’re using iOS, I go to photos app, crop the photo to square, resize it to medium and save as a copy if you want to keep the original. You can then attach it. I’ve heard others say that you can use tapatalk and it will auto size for you. Never tried the app so can’t confirm.

Also, how does the VCO wear on your wrist? I saw videos last night about how stiff the band is by the lugs because of the quick release. Wonder whether if it will cause a bulge/gap for smaller wrists.

That’s a awesome combo! You’ll get some wrist exercise for sure

Have you considered getting a PM GMT to round out the PM SEAL?

it wears quite comfortably both on leather and rubber band. the only thing I don't like is that u can't precisely adjust band fit. to me step between holes on the strap is too big, I would prefer to have an option to adjust band length more precisely, like how u can remove full or half link on the bracelet.
also had an issue with a bracelet which was replaced under warranty

Does VC sell a short for the leather or rubber? I did that with my omega and it seemed to make a difference. You can alternate one long and short to make a medium?

Thanks! Does VC sell a short for the leather and/or rubber? I did that on an omega and it made a difference. Maybe combine a long and a short to make a medium? Just a thought.

By default they don't, at least for overseas models with quick strap change system.
however, one always can order bespoke strap from VC boutique. at the x3 cost of a standard leather strap they will make whatever u want color/length/materialwise.
