So, I have finally got this in my hands. Bought it 12 months ago, no crown, badly scratched crystal. Got it sent straight to the watchmaker, where it sat for a year! But it is now here!

2852, cal 505

 

Congrats, its a beauty!

 

It looks to me like it was worth the wait!

 

He who waits for something good, never waits to long...

You just gave a face to that expression!

 

You know the one thing that would make this better is original papers......

 

Where's the wrist shot?

 

Still need to pick a strap! And busy watching Orange is the new black

 

mmm,perhaps an Australian fish skin strap?

 

New avatar photo? What is it?

 

From the inside of the Musee D'orsee taken about 6 weeks ago.

I parted with my 125 and figured I probably should choose a different avatar

 

Well worth the wait.

 

Very nice 

 

Gorgeous.

 

Thanks. When things like these come in it reminds me
A) why I am in this hobby
B) why i keep preferring dress to sport/dive/chrono

 

Nice, I have the exact same and have been awaiting 6 months since I dropped off to the spa, making a call in the morning!!

 

Great photo

 

Holy moley. One year!

 

The wait gives you lots of time to look at other watches, and maybe buy a few...

 

I like it ! Very nice and enjoy now !
