In 2019 Cory attempted a new route on Everest unassisted by Sherpas, due to weather condition he and his climbing partner managed to get to around 7.700 meters. Cory has summited twice before, first time with no supplementary oxygen and the year later with supplementary oxygen. He is still the only American climber to have summited an 8000 meter peak in Winter (G2 in Pakistan). Also, he is a National Geographic photographer, activist and advocate for important matters such as mental health. The watch is absolutely stunning and it is my grail too.

What’s most impressive from a design stand point are all the subtle sculpted and angular references to the logo. From the crown and bezel angles to the chamfered case edges and strap buckle. Truly a well thought out piece of art that’s a tribute to the brand.

Wow! What a spectacular piece. Your videography highlighted its beauty and made me want this watch even more! Thanks, Adrian!

I’m not sure where we’re at on the Adrian Barker Grail Counter, but I think we might be around 12-13 at this point in your channel’s history 😂

From sitting on the side of the street talking BB36 vs Explorer to this … the production of these videos is getting so fn good ! Nice work Adrian 👌

What an incredible piece and congrats on being able to get hands on this beauty. I really hope you get to buy this at some point!

Once again, your sincerity comes through making this far more than a simple watch review of a watch that few will ever see much less own. Well done, mate.

Called three different Boutiques, sold out. Probably the only overseas I wanted to own. Dealings with the Boutique have surprisingly been quite spectacular, no pompousness or arrogance, no demand for "Purchase History", they were honest and upfront - said there weren't simply enough and each boutique has an allocation amount, which is really only about 2-3 watches. They did, however, mention that they aren't expecting deliveries any time soon, and so even the buyers who have put down a deposit were informed in advance that there will be some time until their watches arrive. They also informed me that should a buyer drop-out (unlikely), it will just be allocated to whoever is next on the list and they had already a significant list which far exceeds their allocation limit. Cheers for the video, congratulations on having enjoyed one!

Awesome shots, awesome watch, awesome channel - keep it up mate

YAS! I love your outdoor videos! Scottish scenery! ❤️❤️❤️

Yeah, this is one of the few luxury watches that really grabbed me. Can't really call it a grail, because there's just no way. But yeah, if a leprechaun jumped out and offered me any watch in the world, this would probably be my choice.

Seriously these videos just get better Adrian, what a piece of kit and what great production quality! Thanks for taking the time to say hello at the London watch show, it was very much appreciated.

The limited availability makes me sad tho. I feel like they’re definitely Pateking us. Building hype around the brand. Sending press releases (even tho none of us can get it 😂🤷🏻‍♀️). Building a buzz. Making a watch we all want… THENNNNN not letting us have it! 😂 DOING US DIRTY MAN.

When you appreciate the KZfaq channel so much you watch the adds all the way through because you know it helps support the channel 🤘🤘

This wasn’t so much a watch review, more of a love letter! You’ve definitely found your ideal match Aidrian!

I think you really couldn't have hinted any harder to Vacheron that you wanted to keep the watch, and shame on them for not just letting you. That level of hinting deserves to be rewarded.

I bet that was a difficult one to hand back! Gorgeous video, gorgeous watch!

Amazing video. Also completely agree with you on Dual Time being a superior watch to the Chronograph. 41 mm is also much more wearable than 43 mm.

They're both stunners but the dual time is something else.

Fantastic video Adrian! Long time fan, repeat customer, and sometime critic here....this is some of your best work! Experiencing this watch with you and knowing you well enough now to sense the pure child-like joy that it gave you is really something to behold. You really make us feel like we are coming along for the ride, and what a wild journey it has been for you in this hobby. Thanks again for sharing!

Production quality is astounding now Adrian. Some journey you’ve been on. Wish I had the balls to just go for it. Well played. 👍🏻

OMG!I I am speechless and in my dictionary i don't have words to tell ho mutch i love this watch.The dial,movement,finshing of this watch it's from another planet. Just pay them and don't return it back.It's that simple...........

The watch is so gorgeous! I prefer it on the rubber strap personally! I love the pops of ORANGE! Just a fantastic watch. It’s great because I’ll *DeF1nAtElY gET mY hAaAanDs On oNe” 🥴

I love that watch as well and would give me a reason to finally buy a VC. Not enough made and I agree that it should have been made available as part of their regular collection.

Nice one! Maybe the most beautiful rotor i have seen so far. Funny though, when a haute horlogerie brand designs integrated bracelets / straps no one seems to bother. With entry level / mid tier brands such as Oris people are quite often complaining about such a feature.

Your usual "Hand in pocket" shot is what clicked the whole "Sport first. Luxury second" idea. She looks right at home with just a plain white T and jeans, whereas a regular Overseas... well, it's the difference between "fit" and "fitting." Thanks for giving us plebs some time with that beaut.

That transition at 0:38 alone got a like. Fantastic!

I am totally with you! I want this watch more than I've ever wanted any other watch, I'd literally be happy with this watch and no other.

This is one of my favorite videos that you’ve done. The watch is not one I particularly care for for me, but your passion for it comes through in the production.

Great video Adrian! I hope VC would let you purchase one so we can see more of it on your channel.

By far the best review of this watch on line, great work. What a timepiece👌🏻

fantastic to see Adrian finally achieving his potential - not only a fantastic piece but a grail video piece from Adrian - Vacheron are such a fantastic brand - the overseas is one of the best lines of watches out there .

Absolutely gorgeous dial and can most definitely be sure that this has been the most good looking watch I have seen in a long long time. Thanks, Adrian and also for showing us beautiful Scotland

Forgetting this gorgeous limited edition The deep blue dial on the normal Overseas stunning and has my vote.

This Vacheron Constantin is just jaw dropping to look at. It straddles the line perfectly between elegance and ruggedness. Forget Omega, the James Bond franchise should have 007 wearing this watch. Thank you for featuring it on your channel.

Yehhhh I’ve never subscribed to a grail watch because every time I attain that piece I want another. But MY GOD that VC is insane

Wow!! What a beautiful watch! I agree with you I prefer the dual time! So cool of VC to allow you to showcase this watch for us enthusiasts! I feel like brands could really benefit by allowing you and other content creators to showcase watches!!

There’s very few ultra luxury watches that fall into a genuine tool watch category. To be able to wear a 1 of 150 watch and treat in such regard is a dream only 150 people can actually do and the rest of us dream of (but I suspect 150 of those purchases wouldn’t treat is as a sports watch). That in itself makes the watch a big contradiction, none the less a genuinely perrrrfect watch!

Absolutely stunning movement. An ULTIMATE sports watch. So fantastic that VC asked you to review it. Keep on influencing Adrian! 🙏🏻

I love this watch as well. so cool so different and its VC. my grale watch still 5170

I don't say this often about watch video's, but this was endearing to the point where it was cute. Cracking watch, certainly, but that vid was adorable.

Well done. You did the watch justice. Thank you.

That’s another level. Nice to see a piece that’s all about the quality and brand rather than the brand that’s all about the branding.

I like what you said and understood, it is first a sports watch and then a luxury watch. The specificities make it the most sporty and versatile of the Trinity. This is valid for all Overseas VS RO / Nautilus. This limited version is attractive, without the standard versions being less so. VC has grown a lot since 2019, I'm happy, finally the deserved intention. It's a big house.

Wow...! If could own only one watch - this would probably be it. Simply stunning. Thank you for sharing your impressions with us! 👏👏

Great video and review, you are 100% right about this watch and VC. I am hoping my AD comes up with one for me. I brought the VC Overseas Chronograph blue dial just before they became really popular. If you like understated quality of the highest order then VC is for you, my Rolex for 1/2 the price gets noticed more, but the VC only attracts attention by watch enthusiasts, not crooks. Adrian, I also brought a complete second set of bracelets/straps etc for my watch eg SS bracelet. VC are more than happy to help you tailor the watch to you requirements - you can buy additional leather straps etc etc. Imagine buying a new Daytona and the AD also asking if you would like to purchase an additional band or a Jubilee bracelet. VC watches are so versatile and once you wear one, you really get to appreciate the quality of these watches. People need to remember Rolex make 1,000,000 watches p/a VC make approx 20,000. VC are much rarer.

“… that would’ve been theft… and insurance fraud. But I’d have a pretty cool watch… 🤔” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lost for words to describe that watch, so unbelievably amazing!! 😍👌🏾 Awesome video, thanks Adrian, great job!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😊😊😊😊😊

Absolutely fantastic production and video. Watch is loverly but your video’s are absolutely amazing…been watching since early days but coming back after a long digital break your progression is stunning. Well done.

Its been so cool to see your channel and you, your knowledge, and talent grow... keep it up!

beautiful piece, really amazing .

Very nice watch, personally i would want it on a bracelet. great video👍

I’ve not been a huge fan of VC but this one hits different! What a beautiful offering!

Oyster bar for lunch ? Beats a trip to Millport anyway. Love the "Rest and be thankfull". Great video, fantastic watch and lovely scenery.

Have to admit, I'd like one of these. It looks robust, sophisticated & elegant. One of my big watch regrets is not buying a VC Overseas dual time a few years back. I got a Lange 1 instead so it's not like I'm crying a river over it but the VC is a beautiful watch. Even nicer than the Royal Oak.

This is just so good! The two best things in life, mountaineering and watches. It's hard not to feel a little bit envious of Cory though. I'll definitely be trying to make his wrist feel a bit lighter the next time I see him...

At last the Overseas are getting the recognition they deserve. The blue dial remains my favourite. Great vid, thanks for sharing.

I have never lusted after a watch like I have this one. I know I will never be able to afford one but it is the standard by which I will compare all sports watches.

Also my grail watch. Its a shame most of us will never get the opportunity to own one though :(

That VC Silver Dial Dual Time is my grail watch. Stunning.

Have a VC Overseas… there’s something special about VC and that’s all that need be said. Great review

My favourite complication; love all the different textures, colours and finishes - esp. that granular dial. That subdued orange GMT hand is spectacular too. Love the cinematography in your vids, the scottish scenery really lifts this to a whole different level.

A “Dualtime” without a dedicated track for the second time zone isn’t overly readable, IMHO. Plus, the AM/PM indicator kind of screws up the dial layout. Reminds me of the PR-indicator that GS just seems to slap on anywhere they can.

Fantastic cinematography man.

Another insanely good review video

Hi Adrian Really good to meet you last Saturday at the watch show ! Keep up the great work i how much work you put into the videos !

This video has me thinking about what in my collection I’d be willing to part with to make room. Epic timepiece, almost perfect. Thanks for sharing!

and that’s another watch I didn’t know I needed in my collection!! Looks amazing, and well done on your videos - always entertaining and honest, and those production levels are definitely much improved. Also wish to add that for me personally about 10 mins is my sweet spot for a video length and you do a good job on getting that right👍

I love the entire VC Overseas range! My grail too! Ss with blue face Chronograph is my absolute favourite but this duel time is gorgeous and awesome too. Great review as always! Have a great weekend.

Holy Sheeeet! I just blew my load!!!! That watch looks perfect. The only complaint I have is that this timepiece will not be a daily wearer for most, they will just be put away in a vault...

Adrian, your reviews are the best out there. Pictures, insights, your thoughts are pure pleasure. Regards from Poland

It’s drop dead gorgeous! Reminds me, a wee bit, of the discontinued Tudor North Flag (which was my first grail watch).

Great intro to the video and very cool watch. I could not help but notice a degree of untidiness on the finishing of the am/pm indicator. You could clearly see the margin between the orange part of the indicator and the white lume was a bit of mess. if thats the case, it is entirely unacceptable. Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.

You really captured the movement well. Props.

Looks like the dial detailing stands up to macro magnification unlike Rolex. And this is what you’re paying all that money for. What a stunning piece. Plus, every man and his dog don’t wear VC unlike ubiquitous alternatives.

I don't love the overall look but I love the tech and implementations in it.

Love the mountains view and thanks for taking the effort to do this

These new visual effects (zoom in and out) are dope 🔥

It’s my birthday today and that is truly a grail watch. Perhaps my lovely wife will surprise me. Lol.

Also love the practicality of the interchangeable straps, a great step forward. No specialist tools needed, except crampons and ice picks obviously... 👉⌚🏔️👍

love this watch too and great photo work Adrian.

I watch all your videos but this is outstanding. You were able to let me a Rolex fanboy fall in love with this watch in minutes although I can’t get it 😬 Your special humor e.g. that you couldn’t travel to the Everest due to Covid 😷

Great video. I am a sucker for Vacheron’s Overseas models. Got an older VC Overseas Dual Time in gray on a rubber strap with titanium top as well. It’s an old JLC movement though… still feels like a wonderful piece. Ageless

Thanks for such a great review. Pity this edition is so limited because it is now my grail piece. Let the hunt begin.)))

Never miss your videos.. just got a chance to revisit the submariner video u made.. if given and option to choose between 2021 Kermt or Batman which one do u think will retain value? I know both are different and great i their own way. I have saved some money to buy a rolex but the choices are as above.. views pls?

Love the beautiful Genta design. VC should really have re-released an all-titanium version (with titanium bracelet): 1:25 - What a masterpiece. If VC would be reading this: "you guys need to milk this design way better!" And it also prevents Adrian to show us too much Rolex (or Tudor) watches ;-)

Beautiful watch. 150 pieces for sale, all reserved before the first ad was released I believe. Wonder if this one is one of 150?

Never been a huge fan of the overseas, but this looks awesome! A field/rugged piece built that well... Damn I want one now too.

Great video Adrian! As ever superb production and videography/photography! And such an amazing watch 👍🏻

That is one hell of a watch! I also asked my wife if I could buy this watch and her answer involved the use of bolt cutters, blow torches and some scary blunt instruments. Unlike you, I'm going to quit while I'm ahead! Great video, I feel your pain when the time comes to hand those type of watches back.

Love seeing watches like this get coverage. Feel like a lot of the truly great brands have pieces that simply never get any love.

I'll take one. This specific watch isn't on their website but the other Overseas Dual Time watches are nice also.

Simple stunning piece

What a scoop! Thanks for sharing a look at the rare beauty! You did an amazing job!

Hi Adrian, great video and a very beautiful watch, without question. However I fail to understand why the pusher at 4 o'clock is needed? Other watches with GMT-complications change the date by simply adjusting the hour hands, which is not overly complicated either and could do without the additinal pusher. Fully agree that the model should become part of the standard portfolio and a bracelet included in the package. This is all theoretical anyway as I can neither afford a watch of that value nor am very likely to get my hands on one of these.

that is an outstanding watch. seems like a lot of watch - price is not that bad - looks like a QUALITY piece . hope mrs. Adrian says. - yes. ~. JDS/CT

Yup....stunning looking watch, lovely movement.

The dual time version is my #1 as well, I remember drooling over the prototype. Very lucky you get to give it a go.

Excellent work, BJ.

No answer means it's a Yes ☺️🥂.

It's a gorgeous watch, we may not get our hands on one, but thanks to you we get to see one.
