I like it better than the Overseas. It needs a 40-42 mm version. 🔥

Will not happen! The watch will stay as it is since it is part of the « Historiques » collection. VC could introduce a modern interpretation though… the question is: does it make sense to establish a second collection beside the Overseas?

[@N7Sound]

@@WatchAdvisor Good question! I would say the Overseas is the Aquanaut and the 222 is the Naitulus. The 222 (in my opinion) is the true competitor of the Royal Oak and the Nautilus. It's design has so much class and presence. A bit more "classic", straight shapes and timeless design.

For me it is a watch that is “almost right.” If it was ~38.5-39mm, pink gold, opaline dial, and had a small seconds then I would buy one. When I admire my watch dial it is a must that I see some movement, otherwise it loses visual interest.

Es según el punto de vista. Siendo un 37 mm es más fácil que pueda ser usado también por las mujeres. El mercado de la relojería es quizás demasiado enfocado para los hombres. Afortunadamente ahora hay menos prejuicios y las mujeres podemos utilizar modelos de relojes pensados para hombres.
