Steel, 41 mm, calibre 5100. Every option in Europe for a black, silver or blue dial, new, certified pre-owned or unworn grey, filtered to cities with a nonstop flight from Cyprus or within a 4-hour drive of Apeldoorn.
Boutique waits run 1 to 3 months. Watches of Switzerland London sells it new at UK retail with 2 to 4 week delivery. The cheapest grey black saves only ~€ 3k versus new with a full warranty. Grey market trades below retail, so never overpay here.
VC has dropped silver from the catalogue; its product page is dead. Exactly one example exists in Europe: Prague, € 26.500, light wear, full set, in stock. If silver is the pick, this is not a shop-around situation. Move now.
The bottleneck reference: boutique waits from 1 month to 3+ years. But VC's live inventory feed shows physical stock for blue in the DE, UK and FR market pools. The web cart is policy-blocked for the whole Overseas 41 family, so the route is a phone order via the German Client Relations Center at € 28.700.
Resolved 7 Aug: VC's live inventory endpoint shows the blue B128 with real physical stock in the DE, UK and FR market pools (article VMX45AC128), while hot refs like the 222 and the 7930V show none. The web cart is deliberately switched off for the entire Overseas 41 family (sellable: false at SKU level), which is why the hidden add-to-cart errors out. But VC's Conditions of Sale document phone orders with bank wire or pay-by-link, and list the Netherlands in the delivery territory under Richemont Northern Europe GmbH. Call, quote the article code, ask for a distance sale. CRC hours: Mon-Fri 10-18, Sat 9-17. Pan-EU toll-free: 00 800 4444 5959.
2024 watch, light wear, certified, box and papers plus two extra straps, € 8% under EU retail and physically in stock. Prague has year-round nonstop Wizz Air service from Larnaca. No official VC presence in Czechia, so grey is the only silver route anyway.
The only new-at-retail 4520V surfaced anywhere in Europe outside VC's own channels. Listed at exactly UK retail, stock status "In Stock" with a 2 to 4 week delivery estimate. There is deliberately no add-to-bag for VC at WoS; the route is phone (+44 20 7534 9810) or the per-store stock tool. Post-Brexit caveat: the UK scrapped tourist VAT refunds, so the £ 25.500 includes 20% UK VAT you cannot reclaim, and declared EU import adds ~19-21% VAT plus ~4,5% duty, landing near € 36k. Use London to view and compare dials; transact in the EU unless WoS will export-ship zero-rated.
The only official VC point of sale in the Netherlands, 1h05 from Apeldoorn, open Sundays. Black-dial waits are commonly reported at about 1 to 3 months. Register interest for blue at the same visit; VC keeps one shared registration database across all channels, so one registration covers you brand-wide.
Graded Excellent, box and papers, inspected at a VC service centre and sold with a 24-month warranty. Richemont-owned, so this is the only true CPO route for this generation; Bucherer's CPO programme has zero 4520Vs.
2024, used in very good condition, full set, offers accepted, 8% under EU retail. Private-sale risk applies: no dealer warranty, so budget a meet-up or escrow via Chrono24's buyer protection.
Delivered by VC in March 2025, unworn, full set plus two extra VC straps with folding clasp and a 7-year warranty. The only 4520V physically in stock in the Netherlands. Their Chrono24 listing adds € 650 shipping, so collect it in Maastricht (2h10 from Apeldoorn). Honest note: at +18% over retail it only wins if you want unworn blue now, without the boutique queue.
2025 watch, light wear, full set, physically in stock. Caveat: Larnaca to Stockholm is summer-seasonal only, so this trip works for roughly the next two months. At basically retail money for a worn example, options 3 and 4 are better value unless you want it immediately.
All 22 European Chrono24 listings were fetched and verified individually (102 exist worldwide), plus Watchfinder and AD stock. Sorted by price. Dial split: 16 blue, 5 black, 1 silver.

Zero 4520V stock at: Bucherer Certified Pre-Owned, Juwelier Burger Maastricht (4500V only, blue at € 26.750), Amsterdam Vintage Watches, Watch.de, Zeitauktion, Colognewatch, A Collected Man, Watch Collectors UK. Monitor the live Chrono24 reference pages: blue B128, black B483, silver B126. The cheap end of both dials globally sits in Hong Kong; add EU import VAT before comparing. The same applies to every UK listing post-Brexit: no VAT refund, and EU import charges on the way home.
Every VC product page has a live inventory endpoint: append .productinfo.json to the page URL. It returns two independent flags: stock (real inventory, per market pool) and sellable (web checkout policy, set per reference). The blue B128 reads stock: true, sellable: false in the DE, UK and FR pools: physical stock exists, but the entire Overseas 41 family is excluded from self-service checkout by policy. That is why the hidden add-to-cart button errors out when force-clicked (entitlement rejection, not a bug: other watches like the Patrimony 85180 at € 37.200 check out normally). Hot refs like the 222 and 7930V show stock: false, so the flag genuinely discriminates. The play: VC's Conditions of Sale document phone orders with bank wire or pay-by-link, with the Netherlands in the delivery territory (Richemont Northern Europe GmbH, Munich). Confirm ship-to-NL on the call; the territory list may be shared boilerplate.
