VC Overseas Chronograph Bracelet

Hi

I've just committed to a white dial chronograph which I'll probably pick up tomorrow. The bracelet fitted my wrist quite well however I didn't notice if the design has any provision for fine adjustment. I would appreciate comments from anyone experienced with this watch.

No fine adjustment, but does half a half link. So you can play around with that. Should be able to get pretty close fit, if not perfect. Make it just a tad loose, so when your wrist swells a bit during exercise or humid weather will not be too tight.

VC also make a really nice leather strap for the Overseas, but the Bracelet is one of the nicest out there.

Congrads on "The" chronograph!

Mine fits better than any other bracelet I've ever worn and it just blends into your arm.

Hi

Thanks for the comments. I just picked up the watch and after the removal of the half link it is a perfect fit.

I think it's the other way around

Awesome!!!!!!!!!

As I have said before, the best Chronos are made by VC, AP, and Blancpain! The bracelet on the VC is just a work of art and a tool. Plus VC is a great company.

What did you think of the packaging? Does not VC have the nicest box out there (them and Glashutte)???

Nothing wrong with either one. They're both good

The packaging is superb and now should be on its way to Australia. The Overseas is actually overseas in Malacca, Malaysia. This driving and taking photos business is actually quite tricky. I nearly bowled over a trishaw and a few tourists.

One of the city's I plan on visiting in the near future and exploring! The Majestic hotel there seems like a great place to relax and great city I heard for waling around and seeing some old, though still in use, churches!

Malacca's a great place to visit. I've been coming here for work on and off over the last 12 years. I initially spent 6 months here in 1996 and have probably been back for a few days every second year or so.

I tend to mostly work but have managed to have a good look around on the occassions my wife has joined me here for holidays. If your in Malaysia it's well worth visiting.
