What do you guys think of a VC (eg. accuracy, reliability...)? The reason I ask is because I saw it in magazine, and it looked nice, but when I went online later that day I saw that they started at +/- $10,000, and for that price you could buy a handful of Breitlings. For those who are fortunate enough who have one, do you think it is worth its high price? And, could you post pictures of it, and maybe a wrist shot?

Thanks.

I like them, I've just never liked them enough - the Patrimony series is a nice dress watch, but I'd rather have a Portuguese, and the Malte's just seem like not enough watch for the money.

The Quai de L'ile is intriguing because of the ability to customise, but they are fairly expensive because of that.

The quality is there for sure, it's just never had the look to appeal to me.

I like the Overseas as well. Certainly a lot of money, but VC is one of the top names out there.

As admin said, the VC Overseas Chrono is an exceptional watch and a true classic. I always wondered why anybody would buy a Daytona when they could get the Overseas.

They are VERY well made, with attention to detail that rivals the most prestigous brands and excellent, well thought out in house movements.

I never felt passionate enough to pick one up, too many watches out there that grab me first but I can certinely see why they have a devoted following. Now if the Overseas was a 44MM watch or I had smaller wrists that would be something else.
