Beautiful VCs and cool lugs. Thanks for sharing them with us. I hope to someday be fortunate enough to own one too.

.. which is too short! Need about an inch more to make it work for me. Tips?

Ignore LouS and Foxfeather. If the bracelet is too short for you, the Watch Gods are telling you that it isn't meant to be your watch. I bet it fits me perfectly so send it to me. If it does fit as I suspect, it's the Cinderella effect and you should give it to me for Christmas.

And no, I won't hold you to being Prince Charming. 😲 😗 I'm married already. 😜

Hi all,

this watch is just in transit, but I took some pics. If I´m right they have built only 479 handwind "Chronomètre Royal" watches between 1952 and 1962; sub-second, central seconds (cal. P2007/BS + 2008/BS), three (ore more) case types (short lugs, straight lugs, faceted lugs, some screw downs, some press-ins - don´t know if small- and center-second-cases have diffrerent heights) - plus different dials and shades of gold.
This one is 18k red gold, 35mm, case and movement in fine shape; just the dial has some issues.
And it´s got the most beautiful hacking device I ever saw in a wrist watch movement...
