Still, can't wait to strap (or bracelet) it on when it arrives!

Yeah sounds about right. I booked mine July 2019 and received it October.

Hope you'll like the watch! The dial is amazing... it's like blue and black and all the shades in between.
In picture it looks as if other blue dial like JLC Polaris can compare... it just doesn't...the color is completely on another level...
I haven't seen FPJ CB in person... would really like to see since that dial supposed to be even better....

Dressing up the Overseas for work. Love the flexibility of this watch.

Nice! I really considered this model, it's a good size too.

I almost wish I never found this thread....

It’s official.

I wish I never saw this thread.

Love my dual time so much, I’m thinking about picking up a chrono and a three hander.

Anyone wear this on a (flat) 6.25" wrist?

Speaking of the three hander 41mm.

Not finding much information on lug-to-lug, is it below 50?

Just absolutely in love with the black dial OS (on rubber? so cool)

superdog · 12 February 2020, 08:44 AM

Yep.

I’ve got my name on my list for the black as well.

With all the strap changes the silver and black can coexist super easy.

Apparently they come out in a few months.

Me neither. Love it.

I believe it was a limited boutique exclusive.

It’s the Limited Edition issued by the VC boutique in Zurich. The boutique is located at 38 Bahnhofstrasse so they came up with 38 pieces of this particular 3-hander and 38 pieces of a chrono. All pieces are in ss.

Very few were sold in the US. The NYC boutique apparently got allocated 3 units of the 3 hander and 2 units of the chrono.

That is a beautiful combination. Do you know if only the Swiss boutiques usually get these boutique editions?

Not completely sure but I think that boutiques with leverage (sales volume related within the group) will have the possibility to request some pieces.

It looks thinner as well? Is that right? Care to share more info on case diameter and thickness?

Thank you all for the compliments. Mine has the standard 4500v case. There is not much info out there regarding this LE and as far as I know all the watches have been sold.
There is a reddit post that talks about this particular LE.

I have never seen one in person but the chrono and simple 3 hand have my attention. Currently have a daytonaC and often consider swapping.

Only thing is my small wrists I fear aren't built for it!

Go and try it. I really really wanted it, but my wrists were just to small. No way for me to pull it off. So I had to pass unfortunately.

I don't have a small wrist, but not particularly large either (6.75"), but 4500V fit me really well and it was very comfortable (as the new ss sub). And it didn't look big either. I do have a fairly flat wrist, however.
