To be frank....
I generally caution against buying the same reference with only a slightly different dial (i say this from personal experience). Rather I suggest collectors try out a variety of straps. VC does make both blue alligator and blue rubber for the Overseas, and I have also seen a nice custom strap (based on the rose gold/ blue dial Overseas Chronograph that was shown at SIHH 2012, but never produced) that would work well on the one you have.
With the "savings" from getting a selection of straps and a deployant buckle I'd have room for some other VC (isn't there always another?).

Re:
You are right but iam a sucker for anthracite grey dials and blk straps. I have ordered a blue strap with dp with our AD for the blue version. However with titanium bezel and grey dial it really appeals to me. I love the Turkey edition and also the US edi...
Unfortunately, I understand how you feel
Although I think Bill's advice is sound, I also feel the tug of getting another Overseas. I have the US Edition Chrono, to which I think you are referring, and it is an amazing watch. The trouble is I really like it on the steel bracelet, the rubber strap...
The Deep Stream Chrono
...is my routine daily wearer, and I love it! Easy on the eyes, beautifully made, and subtle enough that people don't form an uncharitable opinion of you as a blingmeister. I bought the SS bracelet in addition to the usual kit (rubber and grey croc straps...
Good to hear Gary
so you recommend the ss bracelet as a worthwhile accessory? Adds a bit of heft to the old right cross ;-)
Absolutely, Dean
Complements the anthracite dial and Ti accents quite nicely -- and it isn't nearly as heavy as the solid gold bracelet on my late, lamented, OS Dual Time YG "bling special!" Every time I bring up that watch with Alex he just shakes his head... Best, Gary
I totally understand
I love mine. I have to admit than when I bought it I wasn't as ecstatic as other times. But this watch grew on me at a steady pace to the point that I am today "Absolutely love it". I might get the bracelet latter, but one of the reasons I bought it, is b...
