Vacheron Constantin

Last year, Bar2020 put a black rubber strap on his white dial Overseas Automatic, and it looked fantastic. There was a good thread about the strap change with some discussion: general.watchprosite.com Someone asked the question if the straps were intercha... 

Do I see a future of three OS? One with rubber, one with leather, and one with bracelet? Let me help: 1. Your current American chrono. I can't decide on this strap since I have seen it in rubber and bracelet. But I do like the black and red stitch leather... 

But as my Dad once said of my Mother, "She doesn't care how she spends my money." LOL. Sometimes it does just seem it would be easier and better to own more than one Overseas. "No kidding," I hear you say sarcastically. But it's difficult for me to ration... 

The bracelet is interchangeable. Might as well get more use out of it by getting the Deep Stream automatic for your collection. (Joe gave you too many choices) :-) Bill

I think before you're done, it will be your wallet that will be black and blue! :-)

You are absolutely right! Well, Bill answered my question and that gives me food for thought. Best, respo

hi respo, hopeing youmight be abel to help me here. i have the old vacheron chrono, the 49140, and the bracelet has taken a bit of a beating over the years. i'd like to give it a bit of a breath of fresh air and get it polished up and a new pair of shoes....

Cheers respo and bill

With that generation of Overseas you are limited to the bracelet, as there was never a strap made for it. Your best bet is to have Vacheron Constantin refinish the bracelet (and the case) when you have them service the watch. It will look like a new watch... 

Hi Guys, reviving an old thread here, but in case anyone was wondering. a 1st gen overseas replacement bracelet will set you back £2100 or so. steep in my opinion but dont seem to have much of an option as they recommended replacing it. cheers
