Very interesting topic, L.S. I think the question of the service of our watches is totally under estimated. Modern or vintage.
It should be a crucial question at the moment of the purchase, as many of us do with cars.
I agree with you, this watch deserved it. It is such a beauty.
And you did the right thing to not ask for a case polish or a dial change. These are a big part of the charm and the interest of our vintage watches.
Thanks for witnessing your experience. And please allow me to tell you that 6 months seems reasonable for a full service of your watch.
Enjoy it, now.
Best,
Nicolas

It's a beauty . . .

A real classic!
Small diameter, yellow gold.... against all the trends we see so frequently. And yet it is a true and classic piece of haute horlogerie, far ahead of many hiped-up watches that tend to get all the news coverage. You did well to choose this beauty. Wear it...
Yes!
Thank you! I will wear it proudly! At one point in time, this watch was very on trend. But, as they say, the pendulum is always swinging. I think a lot of currently popular modern and vintage watches are quite attractive. De gustibus non est disputandum.
