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!

The weather today is dreary, but wearing this one always brightens up my day

A retrograde date and moonphase are unusual complications for a supposed sports watch...but I like quirky watches! And you can't beat that blue dial ...  

Phenomenal.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.

Once I saw this cobalt blue dial in the metal

I was 🤩 I also much prefer this than a date wheel. Nice choice, enjoy!

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

Beautiful!

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.

Nice looking one!

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 love that dial color.

It’s very beautiful.

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!

 
 By: Radwatches : June 30th, 2024-17:34
Thank you! Those two attributes are the main things that attracted me to this piece (not to mention my love of moonphases).

Great blue dial.

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

 
 By: Radwatches : June 30th, 2024-22:32
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... 

I just traded for one of these Retrograde Date Moonphase Overseas, quite taken!

I am especially enjoying it on the rubber thus far! Just in time for the full moon too ...
