Surprised myself by falling in love with this...

Ok, I have never been a fan of the Overseas. In fact, I have posted as much here in the past. I was also thinking seriously about a Datograph and 5205. However, when I got to see and try on the 3rd gen at the boutique, I was smitten. Then I saw the Worldtime and after a few back and forths trying it on and comparing it to the chronograph, I took the plunge.

Yes, I love the Taditionalle! Something about that dial with the rose gold. Too bad they discontinued it.

I actually read your post about why you decided against it before I purchased mine and understand your decision. For me, the combination of a worldtime complication in a luxury sports watch with 150 m water resistance from an elite manufacture I have always admired took it over the top. Additionally, the strap changing system makes it the ideal vacation watch for me, especially on cruises. I envision putting on the rubber strap at the pool, the steel bracelet at port and the leather for dinner.

Absolutely beautiful

I've had the 4500V blue dial for 4 months and have zero regret - been wearing on rubber every day

Hope you will make many good memories with such fine piece!
