Vacheron Overseas Strap?

Hey all, I'm about to pick up a last-generation VC, the Overseas Chrono big date, ref. 49150. It's a sweet watch, for a stupid good deal that I really couldn't pass up.

That said, it's on bracelet, but I'd like a strap option for it as well. I'm not averse to buying OEM, but haven't had any luck in trying to source anything. Seems the only currently available stock is for the new quick-change straps.

Question is this, does anyone know of a good way to source the OEM strap from the Deep Stream model, or are there any great aftermarket options I should look into?

Surely VC still have stock of the rubber & leather straps, and deployante for the previous gen models?
Who did you ask - boutique or AD?
I would hope so... I checked with the AD, and they were useless. I don't have a boutique within easy traveling distance, so haven't gone that route yet. I guess that will be my next call, though if the quote for a strap is absurd, I may be going aftermarket custom.

I have found that official replacement straps are available at a company's service center. I would call the Richemont service center and see if they have or can get replacement straps for VC watches.

But Camille Fournet can also make one of similar quality (and possibly similar price).

I have a new black crocodile OEM that I am not using. PM me if you are interested.

I love Camille Fournet, but for this watch, the strap does have a steel insert at the connection point, so be careful of aftermarket on this particular strap. If it’s just leather it may not be as secure.

Hi how much did get for it? I just recently bought one myself, albeit it's the titanium bezel on rubber/leather strap.
