Hi Christoph,

Amazing Monaco. I am a collector as well and love wearing my watches as appose to storing them. When a watch has character like your does it brings out something special and shows history. We often dont know the history of many of these vintage watches, some of us are fortunate to know the origins. But those of us who aren't look to the case, dial and patina on these watches to tell us or help spark our imaginations and gives us little clues about who wore the watch and how it has been used an enjoyed.

Great Watch, Use It Well!!!
