Does anyone here have the WG perpetual overseas and provide some photos in the wild and/or details?

I’ve got an opportunity but it’s obviously a big purchase. Love the ultra thin nature and think it’s a stunner.

Thanks!

I just received the blue 3 hander from the boutique in NYC and I have to say, it is an absolute stunner. I think a lot of the photos "in-light" online actually make the blue look brighter than it is in person. It is a gorgeous color and the watch, bracelet, and straps make it such an amazing piece. Can't wait to wear it

I have the same question and also if anybody has had success securing allocation for the skeleton version of the Overseas Perpetual. It is a boutique only piece so cannot get via my local AD that I have a long-term relationship with and seems like this watch is an application only piece...

Fwiw when I went to a boutique last month and asked for it (rg skeleton pc) they said I can get it in a about year with a deposit if I also buy the regular rg perpetual overseas silver dial they had in stock that day. And this is with no prior purchase history with the brand.

Orange and Beige are not listed on the site. It was a seasonal boutique only super super limited run.

It's not. But in most case, need to pre-order as they are quite popular.

Deadlines are getting longer, the gray and second-hand market is skyrocketing month after month ...
This will stabilize, in my opinion, when we reach 40K like the RO.

Amply deserved by VC!

I don't know nor have I heard of anyone who has managed to order the skeleton perpetual calendar. I tried.... and failed... but all in I actually think the blue dial is aesthetically as nice but obviously doesn't have the same level of craftmanship as the openworked.

I wonder if the interest for Overseas will translate into the Chrono as well, it doesn't seem to be nearly as popular. Or perhaps its just that its priced so much higher so for now its not as interesting. I do think one reason as well is that the blue dial which is mostly driving this does not work as well for the Chrono, something with the sub dials disturbing/breaking that nice blue. Its still a nice watch in blue, but not as outstanding as the regular and dual time. That said blue Chrono is also impossible to order and trading slightly above sticker..

The Gen 2 Chrono looks better than the Gen 3.

Within the Gen 3 range the Panda is the best looking one. The date location is not ideal on the current generation.
