I agree

Having owned the 4500V (which I also love), I have to say I felt the white background of the date wheel would distract a bit from the blue dial and take away from the dial symmetry. The hour markers are generally shorter on this piece than on the 4500V and the date font and arrow pointer are in a light blue color that is easy to read, but also easy to ignore if not specifically looking for the date. Overall, while the dial is more complicated, I find there is less to distract from the beautiful blue background. I wasn't convinced about this piece until I managed to see one in person, and once I did, I couldn't get it out of my mind. Thank you for looking!

Pictures really can't fully convey the true depth and beauty of the dial. Thank you!

I totally agree about THAT blue dial

Great watch, and I have found that the blue on this one surpasses all others IMO. Enjoy the weekend in spite of the dreary weather.

Thank you! I agree: I love the symmetry of the complications on the dial.

Thank you! I agree: they somehow managed to add a lot of detail to the dial, but it all works harmoniously without feeling crowded or out of place.

I am a sucker for blue dials, and this is one of the nicest I've been able to see in person. Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you! Those two attributes are the main things that attracted me to this piece (not to mention my love of moonphases).
Love this!

Also, interesting points on date wheel vs retrograde date regarding the dial color and beauty. I’ll check this one out too

Please do check it out; you won't be disappointed if you do! Besides the dial, while the case of the 4000V is only a little thinner than the 4500V, I find it is enough to make the watch feel more elegant and well proportioned on the wrist. The tapering br...
