Survey Of The Vacheron Constantin Overseas Sport Watch History
The Hour Lounge is a serious enthusiast oriented forum dedicated almost wholly to Vacheron Constantin watches. If you ever have a questions about? Vacheron Constantin watches, The Hour Lounge is the place to go. I've enjoying talking with their members on occasion who I can easily say know far more about Vacheron Constantin watches that I do. The forum moderator Alex Ghotbi, has recently posted an extensive photo essay on the history of the Vacheron Constantin sport watch - basically the Overseas. What is now the range of Overseas watch models started as a unique angular cased watch in the 1930s.? You'll noticed the finely milled case looks incredibly modern, and you'll understand where the Overseas watch got its iconic looks. Over the 20th century the look of Vacheron Constantin watches slowly evolved, but retained mostly the same character.Alex dispels the myth that the famous ref. 222 Overseas model from the 1970s was designed by Gerald Genta. It was actually created by Jorg Hysek.

Adjustable Clasp
I found an adjustable clasp online and put it on my 42mm Planet Ocean. This is great. It’s part number 117stz1154. It has 5 or 6 different notches of adjustment. All watches should have this!!

Entering the world Omega
I'm newly entering the world Omega and I'm trying to choose my model Pro Speedmaster. I see there are automatic and manual. Wich one is the most convenient and accurate? I guess the manual is cheaper and do not have a big budget. I would like to metal bracelet but also you can exchange one of brown leather. What if I would like for sure is a watch have the best resale value that when you want to change for another Omega I don't have to lose a big quantity of money.Thanks guys.

My first complicated Patek
I'm so excited that I got my first complicated Patek today. I've debated for quite some time between a few models, and had narrowed it down to the 5235G, 5070G, or 5960P-016. The other challenge was actually finding the watches, as two of them are discontinued and the 5235G is not exactly a dime a dozen I would gladly own all three, but unfortunately my wallet disagrees, so thus the journey to narrow it down to one. Very difficult decision as each watch is unique and grail worthy in their own rights, but in the end the complications, stunning black dial, and platinum won out. Big thanks to this great forum and members for all their support throughout this journey, and below are some quick shots of my 5960
