Of course , it would have been better if they all hacked.

Lovely pics fellas!

Pleased that I can join the owner's club! Arrived yesterday, thanks Harry!

Posting a question in a separate post as I don't want the question to get lost among the beautiful pics!

I'm guessing it's not possible to do aftermarket straps due to the hardware on the straps?

Hi - yes, that's the case.. the connector mechanism is proprietary. However, the boutique will offer to make customized straps (leather color, stitching), and the rubber straps are available in a couple different colors too (black, gray, blue, white)

Thanks to this thread for reassuring my purchase. Will be picking one up very soon and I also have a 6.5 wrist which made me worried. I am now feeling good about it.

I hear the blue dial may be a boutique only line soon? Can anyone confirm?

Fantastic, you will love it!

Not really clued in on the gossip but I would think it is the only logical move. They have a top notch product, probably the best pound for pound but missing the hype (bad marketing). If VC sorts that out, there will be waiting lines over a year long on this one also

Yes, heard from my AD that blue dials will be boutique only and they have stopped taking orders and putting people on waitlist for the blue dial overseas.

Just placed order to join this club! Now the waiting game begins..

[sgrossma]

How long is the current wait for the 4500?

I called my local AD last week and they told me around 6 months for blue and 1-2 months for black or silver. And they'll order you one with only a $5000 deposit.

[sgrossma]

Useful. Thanks!

[NYG1121]

I have also heard that blue dial will be boutique exclusive going forward. Not sure if that will mean that it turns into a AP/PP situation but I am afraid it might

Does this only apply to the 3 hander? Or the chrono and DTs too?

[Scyb]

Got mine a few days ago. Absolutely stunning. The dial is amazing. Changes from a really dark blue to almost velvet blue. I have owned the aquanaut previously and I have to say I like this timepiece much better already.

Was going to post a pic but not allowed currently as I have under 10 posts.

Just placed an order for the black dial but having second thoughts if I should switch to blue... wanted to go the safe route and the black lacquered dial has this deep wet black tone which is quite beautiful. Only thing with blue is that I fear I might grow tired of it at some point. Thoughts?

By the way, they also have the white rubber strap made to fit the three hander now which is thicker than the one from the ultra-thin. Definitely getting one.

The black is awsome you won’t be disappointed. I had the choice and choose black. I find it more versatile overall. Both really are stunning though, right up there with some of the best s/s sports watches, if not the best.

[epX]

Yes, sticking with black. While I'm still waiting for my allocation, now I'm thinking if I should pony up the extra $$ for the Dual Time..

Fantastic choice!

Dual vs simple 3 hander I guess would be a matter of personal choice.
Some like/want/need the complication. Some like a busy dial etc etc
Personally, I think if I got the dual time, it would have to be the black (maybe because of the red contrast). It is a stunner.
Simple VCO, I think the blue was a narrow winner for me.
Either way, you can’t go wrong, this watch really is gorgeous.

[SS Oyster]

The chrono in reverse panda is the pick for me! Tried one on today.

Wow! That is a stunner. Congratulations if you got it and please get it if you are still making up your mind haha. Top notch.

[ChetBaker]

I would have preferred the chrono without date frankly. Do like the black dial, lovely deep hue.

I agree. Not a fan of date windows on chronos, especially at 4 o'clock.

I know I'm also in the minority on this, but just judging from photos, I would choose any dial color over blue. Silver would probably be my first choice. Their blue dial just seems a little too loud and vibrant for me personally.

Is this a silver dial with a blue minute track?” Or just how it looks in this picture?
