I always wanted to have a regular feature with high-grade production values, but it couldn't come at the expense of the 5-6 minute reviews. I never want this to become like the watch channels that release four highly edited videos per month; this channel is an archive and a resource. Collector's Guide gives me an outlet to produce better model-reference videos without slowing the publication schedule to a crawl. We lost and needed to replace a member of the video staff who was responsible for post-production of the Collector's Guide videos, so that's why I hadn't posted one of these in a while. Best, Tim

The astronomic price increases since then have been astonishing. They have dropped significantly since the end of February - almost by 50% from dealers who actually want to move their inventory.

I have trouble believing this. Many, many companies have implemented hacking seconds without undue wear and tear to watch movements. Patek made similar claims about wearing parts before admitting that hacking isn't a problem and launching it broadly. Rolex has been making hacking movements for 51 years, and we've never encountered a shaved balance wheel or stripped threading due to a hacking mechanism. Companies that worry about wear on contact components just use a piece of delrin, hair, or rubber for the balance brake. VC didn't put a hacking mechanism in the 5100 solely because Patek didn't have one in the 324 at the time the Overseas III was being designed. Since 2019, Patek has been replacing the 324 with the 26-330, which does include hacking. Best, Tim

Collectively, I love it! But with every watch, one can always see what they would have done and not done differently. And to that, I am no exception. I love the blue and brown dials, the interchangeable bracelet and straps, the box, the case and bracelet shape, etc. Conversely, I’m not fond of the sub-minute indices on a non-chronograph watch. The name “Overseas” implies that it’s a watch for a world traveler. And so why not make the most basic model a four-handed GMT? Replace the sub-minute indexed outer scale with a fixed GMT scale (no need for a bezel to rotate). Even better yet - place screwed down push buttons at 1:30 and 4:30 to adjust the twelve hour hand with. My 2¢ anyways…

Having had a ton of experience with both, I can say with confidence that Vacheron has delivered a better product for the money. But 90% of the decision to buy a watch is driven by the appearance of the watch, so I can understand the appeal of the Streamliner. The CS version in particular is handsome. Best, Tim

The Vacheron Constantin is a beautiful and ultra high end haute horology timepiece! At $35,000 it’s a bargain, in comparison to the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 and ALange Souhne Odyssey’s, which sell for between $95,000-$120,000 on the grey market! 2 watches, which are totally hideous and under engineered, then the Vacheron is a total bargain! Vacheron is 1,000 times better, than Nautilus and Odyssey’s!

This is a weak criticism. Patek Philippe, FP Journe, Philippe Dufour and many other incredibly high quality movements do not hack. It is incredibly violent, especially at that scale and precision, to slam a lever across the escapement to stop the balance wheel. If you want ultimate time keeping precision for referencing against the atomic clock you better save yourself the grief and get a digital Casio or a battery powered quartz. As soon as you set any mechanical watch it will be off by +/- 0-20 seconds every day as well. Thiery Stern once said “if we wanted Patek watches to hack, they would hack.” and if Francois Paul Journe cares more about not disturbing the balance wheel, protecting it from unnecessary shock over its life, I’m perfectly good with other watches not hacking too.

Prices still crazy and they’ll continue to drop. Even in the mid 30s range, that’s insane for this model. People, don’t think in terms of how much they’ve dropped from an irrational, idiotic top….think in terms of how much it is over retail (22.5k) Easily available just a couple years ago at the vacheron boutique in Beverly Hills. They also had the pink gold chrono overseas for 49k. Just wait guys.

If VC was not stamped on the dial, you could mistake it with any pedestrian watch in the market. You are just hyping up an otherwise " just another watch". Arguably, the only thing that makes people salivate to these watches are marketing & a name. If you interchange a famous name eg exhange the VC Overseas label to the IWC Ingenier, I would bet people would just be awed by the beauty of the VC ingenier. It's all just hype guys.

This may be the wrong hobby for you if you draw red lines like that. Price outrage is a sliding scale, and plenty of destitute folks in this world would be offended by your notion of a "principled" limit of $10,000 for man jewelry. It's best to realize we're **all** naked emperors in this hobby, grin about it, and not take it all too seriously. Best, Tim
