Hi All,

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. 

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 edition but none of these are avbl at the moment .Thanks,
Ovais

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 AND the black strap with the red stitching.  I don't want to go through the trouble of changing straps too often, not to mention the risk to the watch by doing so.  I would like to have another Overseas that I could wear on one strap while I have the other more or less permanently on the bracelet. 

I would think about not getting another chronograph, since you and I have that already, but rather get the simple Automatic or the Dual-Time.  Right now I lean toward the white dial Automatic, but the gray dial Automatic and Dual-Time are gorgeous, and it sounds like that is the dial for you among the non-LE watches in current production. 

Let us know if you join the club of crazy multiple Overseas owners, and perhaps you will be my inspiration. 

 

Best,

...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.

so you recommend the ss bracelet as a worthwhile accessory?  Adds a bit of heft to the old right cross ;-)

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!"

...very hard -- right now!

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 because the matching leather with the dial, is really nice. I also like how the leather blends with the case, is unique. I felt that if I decided for the bracelet option it just made the watch like other chronos with bracelet, I want it to be different. But is nice to have the ability to change to bracelet or rubber if desired. My rubber strap is unworn at the moment.
