Beautiful 2526

 

What a beautiful series 1 example!  A classic and one of the most elegant dress watches ever made IMHO. The enamel dial certainly adds much appeal to it, and I confess first of all it’s the dial that really caught me in love.

Regarding the fragility of the dial, I’d like to share some comments based on my experience. While I don’t wear my 2526 often, I did wear Anniversary Langematik on daily basis. Overall, it should not be a problem to worry about. If well preserved, an enamel dial has all the nice things, e.g. no patina, corrosion, etc. Except that it is sensitive to shock as we know -- which means any enamel dial watch automatically becomes not anti-shock. smile So when I wear mine, I am careful not to hit or get hit by something big on my wrist -- I become kind of sensitive too. smile But that’s not a problem for me. All I need is to be a little gentle and that’s how I am, I think. smile And when doing sports or heavy works I don’t wear any watch anyway. After several years in wearing, I ended up with my Anniversary scratched all over the bezel and case, but the enamel dial is intact. smile
