Thanks for sharing never even heard of an e-boutique.

That white strap combination with the blue is really nice. Think that is the best combo I have seen thus far. Rolling out a multitude of strap colours is a no brainer especially with the easy-switch system.

Beautiful,
I hope VC will get back the prestige it had a couple of decades ago.

I placed my name on the waiting list in February 21, I got a call in June to confirm and pay with an estimated delivery for mid July, it arrived today 23/07/21.

Following many comments on TRF, I was surprised that the market moved so quickly and the demand picked up so high. I consider myself lucky to get in such a short time.

The communication is excellent, I would recommend to anyone wanting a Richemont Group watch.
An A* service, it took circa 5 months from order to delivery.

Did you pay import tax into The uk ?

Good to see Richemont getting some positive feedback over their service stories

Pleased to hear that it’s not impossible to buy a blue one. 5-6 month is nothing compared to to AP and PP.

We should all push VC to make more rubber strap colors. Also not sure what went on with the orange rubber. Why would they make the strap in a very limited production as now was the case?

First the watches are hard to get hold of and then we need to "fight" for the straps as well? Come on..

Sorry but VC is not Rolex why would they mass produce anything ?

The rubber strap options are correct for the brand. Via bespoke you can literally design any style for a cost.

Let's not forget with VC they need to keep archives and be able to reproduce and service everything and anything they make.

Black is very nice also, does it have a depth effect like the blue one?

I can't follow what you mean? No you can not order bespoke any rubber strap, only the colors available. For example grey and orange rubber they already produced in the past. What is the gain in discontinuing those when there clearly is strong interest to buy them? My local boutique was saying he had to say sorry to so many customers who wanted the orange rubber. Is that something that makes sense to you? Because to me it doesn't.

These pics are so good everybody!

Can anybody say how the 4500v wears in comparison to a 15400/15500 size wise? Larger or smaller on the wrist?

On my wrist, the 15400/15500 wear larger than the 7900/4500.
