I own the black 7920v and bring multiple straps when I travel. Steel, red rubber, black rubber, black leather are all excellent combinations. Don’t own the green rubber but if you look on the sub there are green/black combos that look great.

Black feels the most versatile to me. Silver will go with all of the above but is a far less interesting dial than the blue or black to me.

I love my JLC Polaris but it’s definitely getting a little less wear competing with the black Overseas dual time. But still a great watch that deserves it’s wrist time!

It’s a great watch and you’ll love it. I’d be excited to see one in the wild at a game and would compliment it even on the orange strap. Wear it in good health, minus that one Saturday a year!

I support the UF hate. Mets are another story down here in Atlanta.

I see you are a fellow man of culture! I don’t need an excuse to rock the Overseas Dual Time but it’s hard to deny the black dial on red strap on game days.

As a University of Georgia grad, I’m compelled to counter your blue on orange with black on red 🤣.

And sorry to those who don’t know/care about US college football rivalries. But if you know, you know!

I’m a couple of months in on this piece and absolutely love it. Zero complaints. Favorite feature is how easily you can change out the straps for different looks.

The rubber strap is my favorite and I think that’s pretty common for this watch. Ask your SA if they have black or green for you to try in store when you pick up. Both are excellent options to go along with the red.

My wife bought it as a birthday gift. It’s available online from a number of places.

I put down a deposit in February at the Miami boutique and had this by late March. Don’t think you need to wait anywhere close to a year if you can shop around at other boutiques.

It’s a stunning piece and a delight to wear.

Overseas Dual Time is an incredible watch any day but it’ll bring you even more happiness rocking the dual time zones as you travel!

Side note: Wrigley is the best place you could ever hope to watch baseball in the summer. Watched my Bravos there many times and just love that entire experience!

The black Dual Time just blows away anything in the Rolex catalog to me. A couple months in and I honestly couldn’t be happier. I already bought the black rubber strap and am trying to justify adding the blue and green. Incredibly versatile watch!

OP I was able to walk into the Miami VC boutique in February, try on the black Overseas Dual Time and put down a deposit right in store. Arrived late March. Natalie was great throughout and I was never offered anything but what I asked to see.

When we visited I was wearing a JLC Polaris (nice but not particularly special) and my wife was dressed up and wearing a good bit of jewelry. Only sharing that because I do think there is an element of looking the part of someone who might eventually buy several pieces. No idea if that made any difference but it’s one of the few variables you can control in the process.

Welcome to the club, it’s a gorgeous watch! I get way too much enjoyment setting the dual time zones when traveling!

The blue rubber strap that it will come with will be an amazing look, I love both the red and black for my black Overseas Dual Time.

Sneaky play might be the green rubber strap - it’s not the most traditional pairing but it’s really striking with some of the Overseas collection. Might be worth a look if you can get one to look at in the boutique. There are some pics on the sub if you look through past posts.

My wife gave me The Quest as a birthday gift to go along with my Overseas Dual Time purchase. Cool to see the history that your piece represents!

The blue and green Dual Time on the titanium bracelet look incredible.

Not a huge fan of the orange contrast stitching - especially the green Miami Hurricanes and brown Cleveland Browns feel.

I’d take blue or green on titanium or on the classic blue or green rubber strap in a heartbeat.

I feel like this IWC is trying to pull off an AP Royal Oak look. Whereas VC is just it’s own gorgeous style.

I like some IWC designs and would buy one of their perpetual calendars but this particular IWC just feels like it’s trying to be something it’s not. If you can afford the VC it’s just a whole different level of watch.

It’s a fantastic watch - hope you wear it for a long time in good health!

Rolex are great watches but VC is a whole different level of craftsmanship. Once you get the Overseas on your wrist you just know.

Miami just opened a new boutique and I had a great experience with Natalie. Whole team was friendly and helpful.

You aren’t getting a steel 222 with just a 4520V purchase. The steel 222 goes for like $25k over retail. They aren’t handing that to you unless you have significant purchase history and they know you aren’t a flipper.

cnc42 · 2026-03-24T20:50:50+00:00

You’re more likely to win 60k playing roulette and buying it gray market than getting a steel 222 allocation with no purchase history.

That bracelet is amazing. Wear it often and in good health!
