7900 only for the fact that I like the dual time / GMT type of function. Really can't go wrong either way.

Is it odd to have a a/pm indicator at 9 position for 7900

I went in with the intention of placing a deposit on a 4500V w/ blue dial and walked out with a deposit on a black dial 7900V. 12 months Vs 4 months wait and i received it 4 weeks ago, the dial with red hands has exceeded my expectations. DT is a useful complication for me as I work in a global team.

I have both and will take both.
First choice is: Dual Time 7900V

depends on if you need dual time or not. it is that simple to me. i do think the dual time is more robust than a 3 hander. sometimes you do not need robustness.

I prefer the clean look of the 4500 and have several other gmt so for me it's 4500 but it's a diff story for every wrist! Both are amazing and you can't lose.

Personally I don’t like 12 hour GMT hands that don’t fully hide under the hour hand. I don’t like the sticking-out look. But there’s still an allure

I am not a fan of the 4500 at all. The minute track with the busy rehaut on the vast empty dial just doesn't look right to me plus I don't like the framed date window That watch does nothing for me.
On the other hand, although the 7900 shares some similar design aspects, I think it's the best VC sports watch available. I like the crown with the pusher at 4 o'clock, the date wheel and the position/look of the AM-PM indicator. If I were to ever get a VC it would be the 7900 no doubt in my mind.

I've never owned either but I'm gunning for a 4500 one day soon! My reasoning is pretty simple. I really don't need anything but a date. I do love the DT design, but it's just not necessary for me. Also I prefer the thinner case.

Both are nice, my preference goes to the 4500 blue.

I like the appearance of the 7900 but the 4500 is significantly thinner. 4500

I'd go with the 4500, the other is just too unbalanced to mine eye.

I would pick ths 7900v, the dial looks less empty, original layout and useful complication.
