Maybe incoming?

Was offered the overseas in silver but can choose only 1. Not sure if there is sudden availability for these models but only took 3 months? What are the teams thoughts on usage of dual time feature? I personally think the regular one looks nicer

Between those two, I'd go for the one with all the functions, dials, and hands.

The standard overseas will hold better value over the dual time. That's what you are asking for right?

I like the gmt. The 3 hand is too plain for a $$$ watch.

Do they all come in that sandwich bag with blue plastic leggings or just that one? I’ve never bought an VC so, ya.

Tbh I realize overseas aren’t that hot so not super worried about value. More in the lines of do I pay more for a feature at cost of aesthetics? The Rolex gmt is nice because it’s just the twist but not sure how I feel about the space usage.

bottom one is cooler but to address your question on availability - no one wanted VCs til APs became impossible to get. wouldn't be surprised to see discounts on them soon so imo only get one if you actually like it (as it should be)

what's the msrp on them?

I'll always go for a reference time complication.

You should do as best you see fit, unless you're buying it for me, in which case thanks very much, I'll take the dual time.

not too bad of a difference. guess it depends on what you have in your collection. can't really go wrong with either if you like the brand

I only have a TT black sub. Wanted a more dressy watch that’s a little more low key. Put myself on list at AP and VC heard this first.

I would rather wait for the blue 4500V, either SS or Rose gold, they are gorgeous.

Totally agree as I almost bought an Overseas Chrono years ago for $7k because they were readily available, but wound up waiting to find a clean Day/Date/Moonphase AP.

Both great. I would be hard pressed to choose between the two. The blue dial is my favorite though. If I had a chance to get one of those, I would.

I’ve never owned one but have tried them on many times and have been tempted. I fear I would just end up moving it on though

I've never liked their silver dials.. I would wait for a blue dial.
I had the dual time in blue, but ended up selling it. In hindsight, I think I would opt for the 3 hander if I had to do it again.

I thought you are buying the 15500 instead? I just read your thread at the AP forum.

Of those two I’d spend the extra $5k for the dual time.

dual time for sure. 3 hander is just too plain on a silver dial.
