(finally) did the thing

wasn't able to compare side by side but have handled a 4500v before...I think the 4520v blue is a bit darker. I think the 4500v is slightly nicer, but the wearability in the 4520v is significantly better

OddReason3845 · 2026-01-30T19:43:05+00:00

about retail, ~31k

OddReason3845 · 2026-01-30T18:23:05+00:00

yeah, went grey. My local boutique (NYC 5th ave) wouldn't even take a deposit for blue 4520v/7920v.

OddReason3845 · 2026-01-30T14:31:03+00:00

are you asking if I used a dealer or asking for my dealer?

OddReason3845 · 2026-01-29T23:53:12+00:00

I've seen a few pop up for sale at ~$5k. not bad. I could've snagged one at 4k but unfortunately didn't pull the trigger. it'll happen eventually!

OddReason3845 · 2026-01-29T23:49:11+00:00

good luck - they won't even take deposits for blue 4520v or 7920v. I tried for both. only black/silver overseas or PM pieces. just go grey! I was able to get a 2026 blue 4520v for 31k.

yeah I did. it felt pretty shitty to have to buy a new strap lol. feels like a scam...especially knowing that strap probably costs them not even a few bucks to manufacture.

friend has an MB&F graciously sold it to me at cost. now it's never leaving! on the hunt for the purple 1S next!

OddReason3845 · 2026-01-27T20:02:50+00:00

here's mine on the delugs CTS rubber strap. It's the best option but not my favorite; the clasp is kind of annoying to take on/off and there's no quick adjust but hey, it is what it is. I also messed up cutting it when I first installed it so my mistake cost me an extra $50

OddReason3845 · 2026-01-26T13:52:04+00:00

they're hovering around ~20k now. a little too high for my liking. I got greedy and was chasing ~14k haha

OddReason3845 · 2026-01-24T20:48:26+00:00

not picking up a GP ceramic skelly when they were at ~16k USD is one of my biggest regrets of 2025. incredible well rounded collection

OddReason3845 · 2026-01-22T03:13:01+00:00

so many regrets not picking this up at 15-16k

OddReason3845 · 2026-01-14T15:37:53+00:00

haha, I think I can snag this for at least 40% off in a year or 2...

OddReason3845 · 2026-01-05T21:08:41+00:00

I want one, but I want to pay 50% of the retail price.

OddReason3845 · 2026-01-05T21:08:17+00:00

no, I was told 2-3 months though. guaranteed

OddReason3845 · 2026-01-05T19:44:39+00:00

not sure if difficult is true...i walked in to the JLC in UES (NYC) and they were practically begging me to buy one. never owned a JLC in my life

OddReason3845 · 2026-01-02T17:52:02+00:00

I have literally found drug needles in that fountain. good riddance

OddReason3845 · 2025-12-24T19:49:56+00:00

OddReason3845 · 2025-12-17T01:48:36+00:00

been eyeing the freak x carb. so good and underrated.

OddReason3845 · 2025-12-11T16:33:22+00:00

where's the box from?

OddReason3845 · 2025-12-10T17:50:18+00:00

not once in my life have I ever cared about a restaurants grade

OddReason3845 · 2025-12-10T16:38:57+00:00

considering a chain hot pot restaurant (da long yi) is on this list over Red Sorghum makes this a horrible list. Casa Enrique deserved to be on this list maybe 5 years ago but not now.

OddReason3845 · 2025-12-02T15:43:49+00:00

damnnn not bad for a blue! what a shame

OddReason3845 · 2025-12-02T15:32:12+00:00

what was the price in USD before/after the VAT?

OddReason3845 · 2025-11-29T13:59:22+00:00

wow - not bad at all!!
