The boutique in HK can not confirm that these straps are available. When they input the PN # in their system it does not give any information. VC works in mysterious ways in terms of information sharing, since certain regions can already order straps and others is not even aware that they exist.

Anyone else who has ordered the new colors or even confirmed with their boutique that its possible to order?

Can check out Delugs’ Instagram page. They are offering to take orders for 1 week the production of custom Overseas straps.

They do mainly leather, which I don't think is an issue with getting it from the boutique anyway? There are plenty of options available.
Rubber is the tricky one

Mine was sourced from the Australian boutique (Melbourne), may be worth reaching out - PM me if you would like the SA's email address.

The boutique in Singapore also said they have no record of these new Overseas strap. Strange....

I think it's just a matter of time before we see more companies such as Delugs selling aftermark good quality straps as they have demonstrated that with some R&D it's possible to replicate the quick change strap system. They are now offering different clasp tapering sizes and 100 leather combinations

Hope that RubberB or Everest will start to produce soon rubber straps for the VCO given the huge demand.

Reviving an old thread just to give my wife the biggest shout out in the history of shout outs. When she asked what I wanted for my birthday this year (Halloween) I told her “A manufacture orange rubber strap for my 4500v”. That’s all I said.

I had just purchased the watch earlier this month and knew this was an impossible ask. 100 made world wide for one year in 2021. We’re now in October 2022. Might as well have asked for a unicorn.

So what does she do? Somehow tracks one down from a collector in Australia who had saved his, unworn, with the original packaging and sales invoice.

My jaw will be on the floor for a long, long, long time.

Great story, although the orange strap is not a limited edition anymore. I just ordered one from the VC boutique!

Called the NYC boutique and they told me while the orange is no longer limited edition it's still limited production and they're on allocation. She said they do come up for sale but remain extremely difficult to get because of the demand. Lucky!!!

I got one from my boutique about a month ago. It was the last one in the store when I asked and she said they may receive a few more the following week, she did say that they sell out as they arrive as a lot of people was asking for it, and they do not offer to everyone walking through. ( she may just want to make me feel special :lol)

My god, open everyone's eyes, this is the best of the trinity!
The day will come when the brand's aura will rise, the Overseas deserves and has specificities above its sisters.

I keep hearing the same thing. VC has best bracelet out of the 3. PP felt filmsy, AP felt industrial.

Just got the yellow from vagenari. Looks more like a mustard yellow than bright yellow. On the plus side, they did include the small hardware that connects the deployant to the strap so no need to change it back and forth.

vagenari, just as good as the OEM

[EdwardC]

The ones from Vagenari do seem attractive and good quality. However wouldn't they be a copyright infringement by producing an identical product? I know the brand name is not the same but if you look at the texture, pattern they are the same.

[gmtmister]

Also, i believe the Vagenari don’t have the double metal bands inside the rubber like the official ones . It’s just rubber.

So $250 for pure rubber. Pretty good profit margin I imagine...

I’d be surprised if it costs them more than 20 dollars to manufacture!

I remember from when delugs was doing the VC straps the hardest part was making sure the connection pieces matched up perfectly. With the rubber you have molds etc.

Definitely a good margin but probably high costs to get it to the point of manufacturing.

Hard to lose sleep when you’ve already fought tooth and nail to get the hard to get allocation only watch. I’m not playing a game for some $350 strap after begging to spend $22500 on the watch already. It’s not like VC can’t produce more straps, I’m sure they get them from a vendor anyways who already provides all the other straps without issue.

It’s a big joke.

They do now, someone posted up the green version and it had the metal structural inserts - they were not as pronounced as the OE example though.

I'm still on the fence if to try them, I only wish VC had the availability Vagenari do.

I am pretty sure I've seen people pairing the Everest straps with a blue/black 7900v on social media. I am just not sure if they have the Everest VCO themselves so they can pair it that way.

Does anyone know if we can order the Everest straps. I like the subtle orange stitches and the navy fabric.

The way the boutique responded to me when asking to buy a red rubber strap after excitedly picking up my dual time after a substantial wait, makes me want to sell the watch. The snobbish attitude ruined my excitement about the brand, and I will certainly not purchase another one.

I much prefer my AP 26331ST blue more than the VC, but that boutique makes me equally as sick with how they treat customers… and I’m an easy going, normal dude. The snobby bullshit is ruining this hobby. F*ck these boutiques.

the issue is- people keep putting these brands on pedestals. being part of the 'trinity' (whatever that means,) begets such snobby attitude. people will do anything these days apparently to get on the good graces of the brands.

i've said before- watch collecting journey is now simply the 'watch game.' pay to play, pure and simple. customer service, satisfaction, end to end support, memorable experience, etc. is a non starter anymore to these brands.

Have you asked again recently? They are legitimately limited from what I understand.

I was able to get a red strap a week ago - going to pick it up tomorrow.

Beige & Orange were a very very limited (100) seasonal and now sold out release. I was lucky to get both of them from VC boutique. Although to be honest, I prefer the Orange much more than the beige. I put the beige one on the watch may be once.

Wow, that Dual Time looks fantastic with the blue shade.....
