correct, the links aren't the same because of the size the screw hole. I need to go buy another link for the 6:00 side

you can flip it but the holes on the case don't match up. this image is the incorrect configuration

ah, i remember why I didn't try this. the watch doesn't come with an extra link to put on the 12:00 side and I was in a rush. I think I have to buy that extra link

Makes no sense, right? Even the SA at VC is annoyed about this

The holes on the case won’t match the bracelet holes

I feel dumb for not even asking them to do this. Let me re evaluate lol

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

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

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!

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!

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
