VC Overseas Chrono vs AP Royal Oak Chrono- My specific issues
I purchased a 42mm Royal Oak Offshore Chrono (AP 26470) just after the revised model clear case back and movement visualization. I really like the watch. I am a big chrono fan even though I do not use the chrono function all that often..
Well I decided i wanted a nice thin-- sport like chrono and I already owned the IWC 3777 pilot. I ended up getting a VC Overseas Chrono not too long ago. I like the general appearance and design of the pushers--- and it has a fairly decent water resistance rating. I would never likely purposely take it into a pool or other major water source. I had considered a Royal Oak Chronograph (AP 26320) instead of the VC but thought perhaps it would be too similar to my ROO Chrono. Nonetheless I was at a shop the other day and say a few of the Royal Oak Chronos in person (had seen them before) and said wow I forgot the contrast and clarity of the dial and sub dials on this model. I don't need glasses to easily read The one thing I don't like about the VC overseas is the relatively poor contrast making it hard to read the sub dials. I need another watch and for that fact a chrono--- like i need a whole in my head so i am wondering if i should flip the VC Overseas Chrono and go for the Royal Oak Chrono. My VC Chrono is the anthracite grey dial and my ROO chrono is the black dial with white numerals and red accents. I do not want to part with the ROO chrono. Ok so a bit long winded.. Any opinions? |
