That's what I thought, which makes the idea of advertising a Dual Time for Father's Day a bit of a cruel joke.

Not only is there a waiting list, but they are massively behind on deliveries for those with actual deposits at VC boutiques.

This is correct. I'm currently at 13 months and waiting for my blue dial dual time. If I get it before the end of the summer, I'll be surprised.

I think it is currently minimum double to triple the guidance given for overseas (with official deposits). I can't even fathom what it is for people only on a waiting list, but I would absolutely not trust any of the estimates given at this point.

Thank you for sharing!

How does the white strap fair against the elements (any staining etc) ?

Tried on this bad boy when I picked up my dual time. Absolutely stunning. I’m looking forward to getting the call for this one day…

I also tried it on with the calfskin, it looked really good. I guess I’ll throw around that “grail” word: this watch is it.

Yes! And the twinkle of the hour markers and hands. Tip it down nearly flat and look for the high polish ring between the dial and outer minute track. Crazy details.

Talked with the Chicago boutique yesterday. It seems the orange rubber strap was a limited run. They aren’t making them anymore. If anyone has one they don’t want, I’d love to buy it. DM me. Thanks!

Thanks! I was very lucky with a good salesperson who delivers what he committed.

My name is on the list but only if I get lucky given the demand. My SA said he will have a better picture next week. Apparently they may be getting their allocation from Geneva.

It will be for my wife though. As I only like white metal.

Anyone have pictures of a black 4500V/7900V on white or orange rubber straps? Wondering which would look better for the summer.

I have exactly the same watch and am wondering this as well. I also think the blue might look good but it won't pop as much as the white or orange.

Ha! Thanks for pointing that out - first time i've noticed (after nearly 12 months of ownership)!

I’m leaning towards the white as it should complement the white indices nicely. The orange rubber straps look great with the blue dials but maybe not so much with the black.
