Yep. Then offered a perpetual ultrathin with blue dial after the 4520.

Just bought this new style rubber strap by Vagenari for my dual time. Quality is A1 and I think it looks pretty good. I bought the grey and black colours.

The newer style vagenari strap in gray looks very nice. I have the one in light blue (partly because when it was released earlier in the year, it only came in three colors...). The gray is sharp, though!!

I noticed that now on the site, they offer variations for the x500 or x520 OS series. Do you have any idea if the x520 ones have the different taper like the OEM VC straps? It is unclear, and I don't think they have a 'customer service' contact. I'm sort of led to believe that it's the older (wider) taper, because the site specifically mentions for the x520 series that it comes with a buckle (or is to be used with the included buckle), i.e. suggesting that you cannot use the thinner clasp that the 4520 or 5520 come with.

I have a 4500, so it doesnr matter so much, but I thought about getting the strap for the 4520, if it does mean the taper is more aggressive.

Quick ?

How come the Overseas doesn't hack seconds and does that bother anyone?

I doubt I'll ever be in a position to purchase a VC, but it seems the abilty to hack seconds is a universal feature that allow more accurate time keeping. On a watch so well constructed (much like FP Journe), it seems strange this feature is omitted.

Is it representative of more sophistication or perhaps an ode to traditionalism?

I'd like to know more.

Funny that you bring up FP Journe. My Chronomètre Bleu doesn’t hack either.

Correct! None of my six Journe watches do.

Sometime short replies are the most effective and exhaustive. This is a clear case!
