I tried on a Gen 3 4500V Overseas the other day, I would be interested in the silver dial actually which I know is the lesser demand one, but I was just curious for others with the same watch, how do you feel about the reliability/durability of the quick-release system?

It seemed a bit... flimsy to me. Just a little spring-loaded hook that looked very thin that hooked onto the little bar between the lugs. It just didn't seem incredibly robust. I'm someone who would be swapping between bracelet and rubber strap fairly often I'd say, not to mention I'm worried about flex and twisting/turning during daily wear.

Any issues? Has the quick release felt like it's suffered at all over time of ownership?

Also is anyone getting any discounts on these? In Toronto the dealer is a boutique so it's not easy to get discounts unfortunately.

Absolutely nothing to worry about. It’s very secure. I have had absolutely no issues with mine.

I have not heard of any issues with the quick-release system. There is nothing to worry about.

Discounts on the Overseas are getting very hard to find.
