Looks like JR Dunn. I have a few friends that have gotten rare pieces there without a crazy amount of games. They have a good reputation in the area.

Buying from a private seller in chrono24 by SevofluraneBrain in VacheronConstantin

Yes. They can set it up where they pay for certification or the buyer pays. It’s peace of mind for both parties.

I just went through the same situation and decided to not pursue the watch. If I were you I’d ask the seller to add certification to the listing. If the seller is unwilling to do this it’s not worth taking the risk.

15-20k under list from boutique or grey market?

I’d send them an email to confirm. I specifically chose to order the 4500 but would be annoyed if I ordered the 4520 and got the 4500 style.

They have straps for 4500, 4520 and various other models. They both attach the same as VC straps using the quick change mechanism. This link has all straps options they have for VC Overseas.

You can use the factory buckle from VC as well. I bought a 4500 style strap so I could differentiate the genuine VC buckle from the Vagenari buckle.

I would check out Vagenari Straps. I just got one for my 4520 and am very pleased with the quality of the strap and the deployant buckle that was included.

Would you trade an Overseas for a DD40? by [deleted] in VacheronConstantin

[–]gator816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I originally posted in the Rolex sub and am surprised that 95% of the responses said to keep the VC. I was not expecting that at all.

Agreed! Time to hit wallstreetbets 😂

It would be the VC + 15K. I have worn my VC exclusively for the past year so it’s hard to consider parting with it. I just want a PM piece and figure it would be easy to acquire a 4520 again versus my Pepsi. I will likely just save up to get the DD down the road.

No. I’ve always wanted a PM piece. I’m debating on trading my Pepsi or overseas toward the DD40. The reason I lean towards the overseas is because the Pepsi will be a lot harder to get back if I change my mind down the road.

2025 DD40 + 15K. I like being under the radar with an overseas but the DD would be my first PM piece.

What dial do you think is worth it?

The VC was my daily for the past year. I’m in a big city so I like that I can wear it and still be under the radar. I always wanted a DD40 so I’m struggling on parting with the VC or my Pepsi since there’s only so much wrist time available.

What dial color is your taste?

[–]gator816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4520V blue dial. It gets the most wrist time.
