to owners of VC ref. 47101 or 47111 Chronograph (Historique)
Please advise: mine came with a leather strap whose edge (at the lugs) curves (following the curvature of the case). I suppose that the lug pins are also curved?
Can I install a strap with a straight edge and straight lug pins? Any pictures would be welcome.
Any recommendations for a leather strap similar in quality and physical dimensions (thickness, in particular, and semi-gloss finish) but not necessary stamped "VC" would also be appreciated.
Thanks!

Curved...
Answer in 2 pics: As you can see, the pins are curved. Ask your VC AD dealer, he will order one for you. Best, Nicolas...
I know it is curved, but has someone put straight-edge...
strap on thei chrono? Pictures would be welcome and suggestions for a good strap too.
It was, before I bought it, and
I decided to make it all VC... As for the strap, a nice thin matt croc is easy to find at any strapmaker. Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2009-07-25 15:35:21
I think this can always be done
but then the spring bar (should be in gold) will be non-original.
Thanks, Roman.
One of my very favourite Chrono, indeed. The dial, but also these awesome lugs... hummmmmmmmmmm! Best, Nicolas
Not bad, too, Damian
Would love to see other pics of this Beauty! The Straight spring bars are working well, too. Best, Nicolas
Your wish
is my command, Nico. Again, apologies for the crappy photos. BTW, I love your Pt salmon dial, such classic elegance....
What amazed me, Damien, is that your Chrono
Has a black dial... Never saw that on a Gold " Les Historiques ", only on the platinum version. What's the story behind? Thanks for the pics, by the way! Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2009-07-29 22:55:40
