Watches - another OCD problem
-
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.

@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.

Not bad!

@Arkimeediz I know my way around a nice square as well. Nice watch! Is it trantixxie titanium?
-
@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.

Recently purchased this bracelet from Uncle Strap for my Omega AT 38 mm. Couldn't be happier with the fit and the quality.
