That is lovely, Bill
Is it new to your wrist? This is a bit smaller than your 4538 XXL, but it is so elegant. I admire the coin edge bezel as well. I really like the use of negative space on this dial.

There is nothing like the classic 18k gold swiss watch to send you on your way to retirement. This one is signed "A Nestor Suizo En Sus 25 Anos Con Siam 1956". ...
That is a beauty!
It is just incredible that companies presented Vacheron & Constantin watches to their retiring employees. There is so much to admire about your watch: the gorgeous huge lugs, the color of the dial, the rose gold case. It is just a lovely example of V&C at...
