Some thoughts

 

I have owned this watch since 2013.  I have always loved the design elements. The case, dial guilloche, layout, applied Arabic numerals, blued date hand, etc.  what I have found, however, is it can tend to ride on the wrist a bit. It also wears big, but from the below photos it still fits ok. It can be at times a little uncomfortable. The bottom of the case is not curved so this style case can have an effect on the wrist.  The photos show the fit with a cuff dress shirt. A cuff link shirt is better. I also have worn it with a Polo. It is all about your wrist and tastes.  For me though, the history of this case is everything, and I feel it is an important addition in the VC collection.  Robin, you need to try it a few times to be sure the fit is good for you. 


Enjoy and thanks for this thread

Best

Joe

VC Toledo 1952

I recently tried this watch. It is actually discontinued from my understanding as the 1951 is the current production version. I love this vintage looking full calendar dial from the Toledo 1952. Unfortunately I feel it wears a tad big for me. What do you ...  

The charm of this

case is just AWESOME and UNIQUE. Pure VC vintage design. If you have a closer look to gold indices and all hands, you could easily understand how many works VC had to perform to create this watch. The new one (Toledo 1951) is much easy to do and for me wi... 

I don't have it yet to enjoy! Lol

As always, I love your "light tent." ;-) You and I have discussed this watch before. Now that it is discontinued, of course, I grow more interested in it. Next time we GTG, I would like to see and try your Toledo on, if you don't mind. I like the way it l... 

+ 1 !

Found the 1951 to be a little too large for your taste, so I'm not surprised you feel the same about the 1952, which is also thicker I find the 1951 to be a good fit for me: Bill ...  

Ah, Bill it looks fantastic on your wrist

now, if they only had a white metal piece, different dial color I would go for a second one! Great photos as always Best Joe
