they just started to make it from March. the ultra thin overseas.

Slightly odd decision to me as the ultra thin is only available in white gold I think? I'll still buy it if half decent though.!!

Is this version with a sun-burst rather than the more enamel-like dial of the 4500V? Really hope that they don't do the same type of BP sunburst on the 4500V.

I really hope they do the 4500V with a "proper" blue dial (non-sunburst) as a priority. Can anybody reach out to them and request them to do the 4500V? I am sure there is a lot of pent up demand for the 4500V.

Hopefully they can get the thickness close so we can think of ways of thinning it to gen thickness

thats gonna be a challenge for sure, this has a thickness of 7.6mm, the 15202 is 8.1mm, XF got the 15202 right, to make half of mm thinner gonna be somewhat a challenge, however, half mm isnt really a deal breaker to me, cuz 15202 is thin enough tbh, and half mm probably not noticeable on the wrist

what is a deal break to me is the lug to bracelet connection, the gen is able to pull the bracelet straight down, so it will fit around your wrist much better, watch this vid at 1:13 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NknBVkoLqo4&t=104s) if they get the bracelet right, i dont care if this is the steel model and the gen is white gold, i will get this one

This is fantastic news. It is absolutely vital that XF uses a gen sample, or at least NOT use the images on the VC website. This gen dial I have is only sunburst on the ring by the indices. The center part is flat.

I really hope they will use a gen sample, but might be hard or too expensive to get one. Other than the sunburst, the dial shown on VC website looks a lot more turquoise than it really is

2000V ultra thin instead of the expected 4500V. Hopefully gen-spec thinness judging by the AP 15202.

they can probably get the correct tickness but I don't get why they would rep the white gold version. I was hoping for a 4500v
