A last one, a last one!
VC Overseas on my hairy wrist, reference 42040.
The grey dial got me (yes, it's grey, not black... need a better camera :-P)

A future classic!

Here's mine, without the bracelet. BTW, anybody out there have a solution for a replacement leather/alligator strap (other than the brown from VC). Oh and this is the ref. 42042 Overseas. ...
I don't believe there is an aftermarket

strap supplier for the Gen I OS, or at least I haven't come across one. I had the VC strap in the past and found it stiff but well-fitting. You'd also have to get their folding buckle so all together it was rather spendy. ...

Those VC straps are pricy IMO. I imagine that there is some sort of plastic support integrated in the strap, to make it a safe and beautiful fitting. Maybe a rubber strap from the current OS line could be made to fit?! What a funky contrast to the blue di...
Guess...

There must be some extra plastic/steel (?) support worked into the strap's middle indent. Doing intense research on how to get a replacement strap for the 1. gen Overseas ;-)
Yes, a metal insert

Here is a quick photo of mine, but it should be clear. The threaded screw that affixed the bracelet is still used. ...
Thank you...

... for aiding me with this quick shot. I see that there indeed is some sort of metal incorporated into the strap indent. Seems that you either have to order a custom made strap or bite VC's offer for the brown strap
Nice Overseas.

For me, the best looking model, those dials were really beautiful. Despite the issues with the bracelet and clasp, I like them a lot. Would love to see a 39 mm version of the same watch, new ones are nice but too thick for me. Enjoy it. Vte
It looks good on you

they say the OS is the gateway drug into VC addiction so I don't know whether to congratulate or commiserate with you ;-)
Thanks to all for the comments!

Sometimes I'm thinking about to sell all the pre-owned watches which I had collected up to now for THE ONE to buy... i.e. a NEW VC Overseas 4500v or a NEW PP Aquanaut... But only A SINGLE watch to own?? I don't think so! ;-)
Congrats
