Sub and explorer ii traded.
Perhaps this is blasphemous within a forum dedicated to the love of Rolex, but I just parted ways with my 14060m and 216570. With these and some additional cash, I went for this Vacheron Constantin Overseas. Certainly bittersweet as I very much enjoyed the previous two watches. However, I've been wanting to condense the collection a bit and experience one of the "Trinity" brands. Versatile and beautiful. I'm happy with my decision.

Very nice! I’d miss the 14060M. Looks like you have some other Rolexes in your collection, though!

Is this an aftermarket strap?

Very nice. Not 100% sure if I would do that, it’s a close call either way, but it’s a lovely VC

Unfortunately, no. Bought the watch above retail but under market - brand new. Feel like I got a pretty good trade value for the other two watches. I’m at the point where I have a good relationship with a couple of Rolex ADs but I been told by the VC AD that the overseas will be very challenging for me to get. I don’t believe that I’ll be purchasing many watches over retail in the future but there are a few options in the vintage or high horology world that I wouldn’t otherwise have access to. Of course it’s impossible the time in the market but in my eyes, this watch is going nowhere but up in terms of value. Made the decision to get in while I can.
