First of all, welcome to our forum. It's always great to have the new participants, and it amazes me that we have some many people who read on a regular basis, without coming forward to post messages. Of course, this is absolutely fine, but it is always fun when a reader becomes a writer.

You wrote, "It is not a perfect one, but it has "character" . . . ". I believe that it is the "imperfections", the beautiful aging of the lume, that actually make these so special and give them their unique character. Personally, if given the coice between NOS and well-aged, I will usually prefer the look of the well-aged sample. Yours has the beautiful lume on the dial and hands. Perfection, to my eye!!

So welcome aboard, thanks for sharing this beautiful Monaco, and we will look forward to your further participation here.

Jeff
