Did you put the VC clasp on yourself? Curious how easy was it to do that?

Official vacheron overseas thread!!
Quote:
One side is just the pin buckle so that is easy. The side with the little hook has a flat head screw in one end. Loosen and remove. It's only a half length screw with a smooth shoulder and threaded tip that goes into the other half. Set aside. Grab the little beak and pull it from the OEM strap. Put it into the new strap in the same orientation. Replace the screw. For sizing I pulled it pretty snug then made a fist to loosen it and had my son mark a hole just below the slot in the buckle where the pin would normally rest. Then used a hollow watch strap punch from my Amazon kit.

With some temptation and then encouragement from this thread, I added this Overseas. A tad big for me but I like it!

Awesome! Welcome! Does it sit nice on your wrist? It sure doesn't look too big to me.

Congrats. It looks great and I also think it’s not too big on your wrist. What’s your wrist size? 6.5”?

I put my interest in for an overseas pink gold with a metal dial a few months ago and recently got a call about it.
Just curious if there are any owners here of this variation, and what strap materials/colours you use with it? Did anyone get any extras thrown in with the purchase such as additional straps? Would be great to get at least one more if possible. Thanks |

Nice what reference exactly? I’ve bought 4 VC now from the boutique and for sure they won’t give free straps. They don’t need to as they can sell as many as they have in stock easily. You have the summer releases, orange and red, both work well with rose gold so definitely order those. White also works well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

4500V/000R-B127 41 MM PINK GOLD is the reference.
Thanks for the info, I had wrongly assumed that they may throw in some extra straps. |

Was offered the rose gold perpetual recently but passed. Just a bit too much for me at the moment. Then I got the call for the black SS dual time. Pulled the trigger on the spot. It arrives Monday. They had red strap but I passed. I want blue and orange.

Tokyo. I guess the particular reference I was interested in is less popular than the others, but I still got the impression that it could take years before I hear from them, so I was surprised when I got the call.
I actually registered my interest for another watch with them too, so expected the call to be about that one. Although they also said that model was in extremely high demand. |

I found a link to order straps, but for some reason can only view alligator leather material options. Does anyone know where I can see the rubber collection? Struggling to find myself.

Thanks for sharing, I didn’t know there was so many options between colours, stitching and even font you can choose on what you can write on the strap. That’s luxury , i haven’t seen if we can do this with AP and PP. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If I didn't already have a blue dial watch I would have considered this. It's a shame the silver dial does not come with the bracelet, the cost of purchasing separately unfortunately makes it quite a bit more expensive than the blue dial version. |
