Vulcan Cricket 1947 Heritage Replica

So here is my humble entry: issued by and purchased brand new from Vulcain in 2017. This is a limited edition run of 30 watches in sterling silver - so it regularly tarnishes!
It is a direct ancestor of the first Vulcain cricket from 1947 and the cases (200) were produced some 20 years later but at that time not build or even sold. Further 50 years later Vulcain re-discovered these 200 sterling silver cases but only 30 were still usable. They integrated the modern caliber (luckily the size of 34mm was still the same) and I was happy enough to get one.
It is humble because it does not sparkle bright but tells a story. It is humble because it tarnishes and looks normally grey and dirty. However, for viewing pleasure I cleaned it
