Sorry I wrong before,

I already taken it and satisfy with it
I wear it everyday now
It is better than i expect,
low key enough and safe to wear it when I go out at night
I think I will keep it for a really long time

I’ve always considered an overseas but never quite appreciated the bezel. But now I finally do. Browsing this thread has been very helpful! Thanks for all the pics folks.

I have a small wrist around 16cm/6.3 inches. Do any Oveseas owners with smaller wrists have any feedback about the 4500v in regards to fit? Thanks!

How wide is the top flat part of your wrist ?

So it’s been a while now but what are people hearing for wait times to even entertain getting this watch? I just talked to an associate again whom I spoke to a year ago a few times and was given the blow off again about no info. Is anyone actually being moved up or is this all going to much much earlier individuals who were already known in the last?

I gave up asking....so I don't know.

If prices keep falling, I may just pay a small premium to get one.

I saw a few 7900V dual times in black or silver dial for around 3k over retail. That's not bad and inching toward the bite-the-bullet-to-get-it-now territory.

My wrist is a littler 6.5 and it wears well. My wrist is more flat than round though

Thank you.

My wrist is also fairly flat, the width is about 2 cm or 50 mm, which is right around the L2L here. My concern is the flare of the bracelet.

It will be perfect. My 7.25" wrist barely has 50 mm flat on top and the 4500V fits and stays put better than a new model GMT or submariner.

I have 7” wrist. Rubber and leather do stick out a little on the side as my wrist is not that flat. With the bracelet it’s pretty perfect fit though.

If helpful to anyone, I was quoted the following at VC boutique today in Japan for a 7900V: Silver can be had by end of this year, Black sometime in 2023, Blue in 2024. With the prices on secondary market now being more or less current retail for 1 year old silver or black (blue still has quite a premium), might make sense to go secondary market soon which will be cheaper than retail in 1-2 years time anyways…

as a relatively new owner, i have to say, the bezel is worst IRL. The satin finish indent parts are more likely to trap dust particles and cause the face of the watch to not pop as much. where as a Royal Oak or Aquanaut bezel is just outstanding all the time

You'll definitely need a soft brush and soap and water to get those areas.

I was able to secure a red rubber strap for my black 7900V!

Thanks to everyone here who noted it was available :)

Pics when I have time to swing by the boutique to collect it

Damn that’s nice. Making me very tempted to do similar. Love the single hole idea too, makes it quite personal.
