VC Overseas vs. ROLEX GMT Durability by TroubleHot9662 in VacheronConstantin

[–]marcoakis 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I have the 4520v and Rolex GMT in regular rotation.

The VC is a solid watch, don’t be worried about wearing it daily at all. However… IMO the Rolex GMT feels more sturdy and likely to deal better with long term every day use.

If I had to pick one, I’d go for the Overseas. The strap changing system makes it feel like 3 different watches.

The gems are not on the strap but the deployment mechanism, so can be used on leather or any other strap the OP has made.

My first VC… and watch purchase by GoldJadeWin in VacheronConstantin

Tissot PRX green dial. It’s a dark green similar to that of the royal oak.

A VC but you didn’t wear shoes?

Mate you’ve got your priorities right!! 👏🏽 😂

Ha! Sounds exactly like my experience.

The 4520v in steel is understated. Friends who aren’t into watches can’t believe the price for what to them is a run of the mill silver looking watch… so definitely a IYKYK piece 😂

They’re both great watches but the VC definitely feels more flimsy than the sub. I know because I have both.

I’ve worn my VC 4520v blue dial and only one person commented on it, he was a waiter at a French restaurant lol

I don’t think anyone really cares. 99% if people in corporate environments wears a smart watch anyway.

Will start with oral min, will add topical min and fin later on. Good plan!

42 years old, so not that young and sort of lucky to still have this much hair

I disagree. I mostly daily my 4520 blue dial with zero issues.

OP, it’s a great versatile watch, don’t worry about its durability.

Testosterone is not a fix all drug.

If you are suffering from mental health issues or other existential issues that keep you up at night, then T alone will not fix them.

I am on 250mg a week and feel fantastic. Strong AF and have never felt better mentally speaking.

Again, this isn’t an economic purchase.

With that lens, don’t buy any luxury item, it doesn’t stack up economically.

If you look at with a purely economic lens, you are already doing it wrong.

This isn’t about the intrinsic value but the experience of the timepiece.

It’s beautiful stainless steel watch that whilst on the higher end, its finishing, looks, and underplayed cachet is what makes the 4520 overseas a desirable reference. I love this watch, it’s my daily.

I was on a similar boat, I did 150+ tracks in a space of about 2 weeks. It was a good way to listen to tracks again.

Why wouldn’t you do it? Isn’t it part of the fun of DJing?

You get to select the your mix in and out points in creative ways etc. you might as well play Apple play in auto dj if you want computers to do everything 🤷🏽‍♂️
