    @goosehd I agree. If I was buying an Aqua Terra, I'd go for that dial.

      It's very nice, maybe their best, but also bold enough to where it might get a bit stale as a daily driver.

      Think it, be it.

        OK Vacheron have just gone and released what a lot of collectors have been waiting for: The steel version of the Overseas 222.

        Not cheap at just over £30,000

        I do like it but that is a lot of money for a steel watch. I am keen to see what the secondary market looks like for this model?

        I suspect it will trade above RRP for a while as there won't be many of them around. The standard 4500v overseas is cooling off a bit like the rest of the boutique steep integrated sports models. I suspect this 222 will buck that trend, especially considering for how long collectors have been asking for this piece to be made in steel again.

          @ddtrash I saw this earlier, and I thought that it would be something you like.

          It looks a lovely watch. I'd like to see it on my wrist before making a call, as the similarly sized Furlan Marri Disco Volante I tried on felt small.

          Monochrome has an introductory article, which lists the price at €35,000. In comparison, their hands-on with the Patek Phillipe Cubitus mentions the base model costs €40,575. Personally, I'd get the 222.

            222 vs Cubitus - no contest.

            222 every day of the week.

              The Cubitus: why?

              Nautilus looked great. Cubitus looks like shit.

              Think it, be it.

                  The 222 is gorgeous. Too expensive but gorgeous.

                        @JDelage thanks, I am very, very pleased with it. It’s funny to me that so many people were critical of the brand and the price point, but to me it feels like a wonderful bang for the buck.

                          @Anesthetist it looks a lovely piece.

                          I was also intrigued by the cloth in the background, which I suspect is a historical map of Oldenzaal. I once took a look around Naarden in the Netherlands, which has similar fortifications that have been preserved.

                            @Anesthetist Congrats my friend, that is a stunner and in my humble opinion offers a lot of bag for your buck.

                              It's the third Tuesday of the year, and Omega has just released a new Speedmaster. This one has a handwound movement, meteorite dial, and a moonphase. It's also 13.6 mm, so less of a chonk that the Flight Qualified.

                                  That's beautiful, especially the lighter one. I love meteorite. I have a nice chunk somewhere here.

                                    Figured I'd update with some pieces out of my collection. My style is a little all over the place, because I'm a weirdo haha...but hey, I like what I like.

                                        @Anesthetist funny thing, I have no idea what trantixxie is, but it IS in fact titanium. Another point I'll make, is that sometimes I love the feel of a titanium or lightweight piece like my defy skyline skeleton or tudor pelagos 39. Other times I prefer the feel of something more substantial like stainless steel. I definitely couldn't have a one-watch-collection in titanium though.
