Photo Review: AP 15400 vs. VC Overseas, so similar yet so different.

Recommended Posts

I love these two watches, from the beautiful dials to the combination of brushed and polished surfaces. As I understand it, the VC isn't a Genta design even though there were rumors of it but I definitely see the influence.

 

Are these two watches different enough that I can justify keeping both?

Keep both, the difference in straps justifies keeping both!

Keep'em. They aren't similar. A Sub-C, a GMT 2 and a SeaDweller are much more similar than these, for instance.

Thanks for the validation. I am trying to purge my collection of all unnecessary watches that are either too similar or just not used. Everytime I consider listing the VC I wear it for a bit and then just cannot part with it! I think I will just keep it.

It's a gen strap, the factories still didn't make a decent rubber for the 15400.

The VC is a watch with it's own right to exist! I find it exciting to see a VC on someone's wrist, while seeing a AP 15400 has become more of a buisness as usual. Maybe it's Düsseldorf where people seem to be fashion and luxury oriented, but the AP is just not exclusive enough anymore! Please don't misunderstand me, I do love my APs in their amazing golden glory, but if compared with the VC, the VC is just that much more exclusive for my eye. Keep both and wear them in good health! If you wann get rid of anyone pls drop me a PM. H dang I'm not the first to write that! ^_^

I'd definitely keep both of them

 

Can I ask from which dealer did you buy the VC from?

VC is a much more exclusive brand imo, & these really are quite different approaches to a SS, black dial, date complication, black strap watch. Other than these attributes they're significantly different animals. Personally, I've never been a fan of seemingly high value watches w/ rubber straps, jmo...BTW, agree w/ previous posts, VC is absolutely brilliant.
