That black dial dual time dial is nice. Didn't think I would like that black dial as much as I do. Great watch!

Let's be honest ...knew it the second I first put it on.

I found myself weirdly questioning why I bought an ROC 6 weeks ago ... Not really, but I could see wearing this thing daily no problem. Pool, airport. I mean 150m WR and crystal caseback? How even? Feels like cheating.

Btw. I find this to wear well. 48.9mm lug2lug, that's 0.4mm more than the 38mm ROC. Yes the intermediate link makes the straps flare a bit but unless u have a deadsquare arm, not so relevant ...

The back dial is really becoming a standout for me

This is hands down one of my favorite threads. Really great stuff in here. The amazing thing about the Overseas lineup is that EVERY model looks good to me. Yes I have my favorites, but the three-hander, dual time, chrono, perpetual calendar.. they all look awesome. I am really leaning towards a chrono, but the dual time is making it difficult. I'm also split between the black dial and blue dial. I think the dual time looks great with the black dial and the little bit of gray that they incorporated. The chrono I think I like the blue dial best.

Would someone be so kind as to take some pics of the clasps on the bracelet, rubber strap, and leather strap? I don't see many pictures of them.

I am also interested in the other color strap options VC offers through their boutiques. I've seen the pic of the light brown leather on the blue dial, which looks amazing. Does anyone else have any other straps that haven't been pictured here?

Thanks all.

I have the blue overseas dual time on black rubber! It's gorgeous, comparable with the 5164a

VC supplies a bracelet, rubber and leather strap which each overseas. Quick change system with a single release tab at the underside of the case. There are black, blue and brown straps (brown dial disc) rumors silver may be next. Strap colors match the dial, the silver dial comes with black. You get one extra deployment clasp and buckle to share between the two extra straps straps.

Anyone have issues with the inner clasp on the rubber/leather not clicking on? I feel there are times that mine pops out to easily before i lock it down.

I've had it on the leather when it was definitely set too tight. On the rubber at the right setting I've been wearing for a week now on and off and had zero issues. Once closed, it never released on its own, and opening when taking off the watch takes quite some 'pop'.

The "pop" is what im looking for. Like it used to be much more difficult for me to remove the inner clasp but there are times now when it releases on it's own after i press to open the first clasp

Hi,

It is the same for me. First few weeks I really needed to pull the inner clasp open. Now it automatically pops open once I open the outer clasp/ push the twin trigger buttons.

I also received two new bands. The brown and grey leather one. Quality is top notch as can be expected from VC. I ordered from the VC boutique in Switzerland and the bands were 430 CHF each.

Hmm i wonder if vc will replace the clasps for us if we bring it to service. It shouldn't be released so easily..
