Just got my 4500 blue overseas last week, pics to follow

Pros. Easy change bracelet, stunning blue lacquers dial, sapphire case back and detailed movement finish, easy bracelet mm extension.

Cons - bracelet although beautiful feels very light weight and not solid like a Rolex ss bracelet. Bracelet feels almost as light as my titanium gs snowflake bracelet.

Wish had hacking seconds

Overall beautiful watch.

Congratulations! The overall weight of the watch made me feel the bracelet was just right, you may feel the same after a while. The rubber is insanely comfortable too.

I am close to my 4500V in blue, and wondered if any of you bought a 2nd clasp. Looking at the videos changing the strap is quite easy, but the clasp change is more fiddly ? Did you guys buy a 2nd clasp to have one for the leather and one for the rubber ?
thank you

No need to buy another clasp. Changing clasp is also a breeze.

Nope. I rarely wear the leather so the clasp generally stays on the rubber. On those rare occasions when I want to wear the leather clasp change is quick and easy.

As others have said, it’s pretty easy to change clasp. And I second how comfortable the rubber strap is

What do you guys think of the new Pink Gold 4500v - Blue Dial?

Was considering the SS 4500v but the Pink Gold came out of nowhere. Wow.

Nope, I have it mainly on the rubber so far. It is just so comfortable on rubber and change it to the bracelet occasionally.

Not a gold guy personally but I think that is also more because I don't think I can pull it off. Having said that, I found the new VCO in gold extremely desirable! It is quite sexy...

Absolutely incredible. It is so beautiful. I got the 4500v and now that the pink gold cane out, I put it on order (to come next week). I have heard they are limited (at least for now), but the pictures make it look absolutely stunning.

Heard the same. Manager at VC told me there were only 4 in the states and 3 have sold. She has the remaining 1. Also mentioned something about it being a Boutique Exclusive. Not sure if she's just selling me or not. Debating the Pink Gold or the classic SS.

I don't think it fits the 4500V but the white rubber looks great on a pink gold case.

Thanks for the link. That's an insane instagram.

The white strap is not designed for the regular OS line. The white strap is for the OS Ultra Thin. It will fit on the regular OS watches, it's just thinner and it won't be exactly flush at the lugs. I'm picking mine up tomorrow. I'll post some pictures.

Already have the white rubber strap from the ultra thin. Now just waiting on the watch

And will be ordering some leather straps too. Are all the options in boutique available to order for the 4500v?

The brown rubber band looks great on a pink gold case. I think I'm going to get a black or blue one as well.

Hi, I beg to differ about the weight versus titanium Snowflake which I had and the Rolex bracelets that I have. I haven't weighed them but it seems as heavy, solid or even more so than the Rolex. It also has screws on every single link and the finish is top notch. I didn't feel so bad about non-hacking since its counterparts sports Patek and Royal Oak don't have them either. Of course , it would have been better if they all hacked.
