Blue vs Blue
Having owned, and regretably sold, a VC Overseas 4500, I am in the mood to once again get
THAT BLUE dial on my wrist again. I plan to go look at some in the next few days.
Here is my question: In your opinion, between the 4500 and the 4520, is there a difference in the look of the blue on the dial?
If so, which one in your opinion looks better? Or the difference, if any, is so negligible it's not worth thinking about?
I am leaning toward the newer 4520 due to the upgraded, quick-release mechanism for the straps.
The other differences (slimmer case, taped bracelet, etc. do not matter to me.)
Thanks for your opinions, and HAGWE.

The 4520 is more vibrant, less deep and purple.
I much prefer the older, however, the tapering of the 20 is too good to pass. Id go with the new version.
Sorry, the 4500 got the purple hue.
The 4520 is closer to a standard blue dial that so many watches nowadays have
