Seems like these have very red rubies, and the same blue dial sunburst problem as the previous BP Overseas 4500V.

For those with the BP, what are your thoughts about this one?

From only a quick the Maltese cross’ around the bezel seem off, it’s also a bit thicker than BP, the bracelet looks even lower quality and in the photo of the blue dial the hands are black.

I will say that the movement looks better than BP though. The cross looks better on the oscillating weight for sure

The black and blue seem to have a weird ring on the minute track. What's the deal with that? I've been waiting for a good 4500V rep for a while. Unfortunately I don't think this is it. Once one gets made I'll probably sell my XF 2000V

The images look bad, but I like that rep in the video! Nice deep blue dial.

I have QC pics I received 2 weeks ago of the Rose Gold TWF Overseas 4500 if anyone is interested. I will try and post them...
Still waiting for the watch to be transshipped though.

I know all the flaws compared to Gen: bezel cross ends are mostly straight instead of being more triangular and the little outer circular space on the dial between the minute markers and raised second markers is rose gold on the Gen, plus the Gen doesn't even come as an option on a rose gold bracelet, instead on the 2 straps only. BUT, I love this Rep exactly for all of the above differences and think it is a beautiful and elegant piece!
The Maltese Cross on the dial also is one of the best Reps and additionally every bracelet link has a screw and the bracelet comes with 2 and not only a single half-link.

Thanks for sharing these! There's something about the case shape that doesn't seem quite right to me... Maybe it's just me. I'll be interested in seeing more pics once you have it in-hand. I love the color choices that you picked.

Looks pretty good all things considered! Better than I was expecting.

I was going to purchase the bracelet because it looks better than BP, but still has a few flaws.

Waiting for a 4500v with a bracelet like XF’s 2000v. They nailed that bracelet, such a good job.

Sorry guys, the next day after receiving the watch I got Covid so wasnt able to do anything.
I will get to posting pics soon.

The rotor is silent, unlike my BPF 4500V with blue dial.

The bracelet is nice, the links are much more softer and flexier.

One thing I had trouble with is, was removing the screws when sizing the bracelet as a few of them couldn’t be unscrewed and one simply rotated but finally managed to get it out.

Thanks, mate. These are excellent pictures. It really looks like a winner. They got the cross quite right (for the naked eye, probably not for the microscope, but who cares), the hour hand is shorter, thus more gen like than on the BP and its thickness is probably just right (and not as thick as stated from the dealers). I wonder how the ZF Version will turn out to be at the end. But now I know that there will be a new 4500V for me for sure. Cheers and get better soon. B.
