Thanks a lot for sharing and huge Congrats on picking up an amazing looking piece. Can you share some more of the backstory about how it came to be that this store, which seems to be in the vintage Watch space, came to contact you about the 2915? Thank you.
Thanks! As the WhatsApp screenshot already suggests; this is all down to personal relationships. Those, in turn, are the result of spending lots of time with other watch enthusiasts I can now call friends. So 'shared passion for watches' is probably the best answer...

Mr @Aludic - the stories that you share with us are very very (very....鉂わ笍) nice and lovely to follow!
I myself can identify with all the expectations during the hunt and journey, and finally to have the watch in hand - it is priceless!

Thanks for letting us join in on it!


And YEAH - the watch is AMAZING!!

For starters this Vacheron pocket watch. You may wonder why this timepiece is so impressive; it's made out of aluminium. Not just the case, also the movement, up to and including the main plate. It weighs next to nothing and bears a cool engraving explaining how this watch was commissioned by the local aluminium industry. So cool. And incredibly nicely finished.
Not to get too far off subject, but there is a separate thread about these aluminum pocket watches.


That looks like a wonderful addition to the thread.

Congratulations on a great Speedmaster purchase.
