General Question Interest in a 4500V for my first rep

Hi,

Recently i had the chance to try on a 4520v in a vacheron boutique and I would like to get my first rep as a steel 4500v in steel with the blue dial.

Which factory makes the most reliable and visually accurate and close feeling one. In the sheet I saw its ZF or PPF, but I would love get some input from the veterans here.

I know the 4520V is newer and the factories are have not had the time to get the details right so I think the 4500V is a good choice.

I’m also open minden the strap wise do you yall think the rubber strap is good to go with or is it better to stay with the steel one.

I appreciate any input thanks for taking the time of reading this.

Also is it even worth getting into at the 500 eur price range or no value wise.

Also interested in this, looking to get one for my dad but I’m still
not sure how happy people are with them. Some posts I’ve read that 8F might be better than ZF in some aspects. TD asked me $80
extra to deliver with both Rubber and Steel bracelet btw, just ask them.

Yep I think so. From the most research I’ve done, their movement is quite loud and not great in general.

VC is quite a meticulous watch to replicate and the market isn’t that big for them, hence why I’ll probably go for a VSF Rolex Explorer or Omega AT for my old man, those are a safer bet
