I would be interested on views and thoughts on on the 1526? when I'm through with collecting the unusual cases / lugs genre (a few more to go I think) then this is one (1526) I've had my eye on.I find it understated and elegant.
Thanks

I have one.  I'll post some pictures later this week if you like.

I sent the watch in for routine maintenance over a year ago.  It returned in a sealed plastic bag.  I have not removed it since the maintenance but instead put it in the vault.

Before I post any pictures, I want to know if it's OK to post inside the plastic.  I know that other sites do not allow such photos, however, I assume that rule only applies to new watches and not vintage.  Nevertheless, would appreciate an OK from the moderator.

Another option is you can send me your email via PM and i'll forward the photos.

Hi,

I was going to make an analogy but watches are just watches after all.

Can I just ask why you keep it in its plastic, it must not be very comfortable on the wrist that way!

Yes you can post pics of your watch in its plastic wrap if you want although I doubt it will be beautiful or interesting pics (what a challenge)! 

We're here and nowhere else!

Cheers

ps: but you'd better not put it for sale the next week! 

I'm hooked on vintage so it's not for sale.  The only time I part with a vintage is in a trade for a more desirable (to me) piece.  Even then it would be hard to let go because this particular piece is in beautiful condition and is one of my favorites.

Anyway, when I got it back I was getting ready to leave on a trip. I quickly photographed it and put it in the safe deposit box where it has remained.

I love the simple clean look ...it looks most elegant

Is the watch large? What is the thickness?

Thank you for posting the image?

Of interest, when the watch was opened for maintenance, we discovered a double Geneva Seal which I understand is unusual.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing.

I wish they would made one like that today.

Cheers

How wonderful！

I hope to get such a beautiful complication watch, too.
