Vintage 1999

I prefer CC's ref: 2520's bezel, which is similar to my ref: 2730 giving them both a more vintage look, enhanced on CC's by the Arabic numbers on the black dial. I do like my ref 2510, which retains the curved lugs of the ref 2520. The date on mine of cou

Here is an old picture of my two, which are regularly on my wrist. They are always admired. I think the 2730 case is better looking than its later replacement. In both I very much like the G-P's splash of red and the applied gilt logo on the 2510. Clive T
