Vacheron Constantine Overseas Tourbillon

Posted about this on the Tourbillon thread but thought that it deserved its own section here.

Saw this on Trusty Time.
Very interesting
For a first attempt doesn't seem bad.
What are people opinions

I'm saying the watch doesn't look half bad except for the dial
The ss strap, however, does not look up to par of some other reps and the finishing is questionable all round

I guess $8800 is a bargain for a rep of a $100K watch, still $8800 will be a nice gen...at least in my opinion.

I like the 10,5mm thickness piece looks gorgeous. Let’s hope we can get both straps

Gen is 42,5mm x 10.4mm

That is temporary... means Andrew doesn’t exactly know the retail price. Will be around 700$

From the pics it doesn't look so thin (10,5)
I wish i am wrong because i actually wanted an overseas and a turbillon

The price is definaly temporary Andrew always puts his pieces up at that price and changes them a little while after.

piece looks gorgeous

I don't think the dial will be anywhere near the gen we just have to hope the finishing is similar.

We need someone to take the plunge

Thanks for informing me of the temporary pricing on new items. I did not know that.

Thickness in photos seems to contradict stated thickness of just over 10mm...

 

[Swiss_goupil]

Malta cross in the tourbillon is sadly very different, gen is thin and polished, rep is kind of fat and as this aweful grainy texture...

More interesting is the @3 and @9 markers. Comparing gen pictures seems contradictory. Some have same @12 markers (more triangle shape), some have rectangle shapes...

Yea Vacheron has a bit of history having very small differences between there promotional pictures and the real thing.

There was a boutique edition of the overseas dual time that had a different power reserve hand and sub-dial rings to the original press release pictures.

Rectangular markers @3 @9 from ablogwatch

Now those bloggers, do they shoot the watches or do they usually use branded promotional pictures?

JF can make its RO tourbillon under 11mm... this looks too thick to me

Trouble is JF RO tourbillions have all been rubbish so far. This watch on the other hand, although it looks a tad thicker than the genuine, looks like a decent attempt.

It looks like they made a new dial that is darker and less sunburst'y compared to the BP 4500V, yet still not being the full, deep enamel of the retail. Seems like it would be an easy double-dip to create and sell a new and updated version of the 4500V, anyone knows if that is happening?
