thanks for your message. I feel exactly the same about these old watches with nice patina and history - I often take a look at my watches and wonder who has owned them before and where and what stories are behind them. Good thing about this particular Monaco is that I know something about it: It was sold the first quarter of 1970 in California to an architect. This is very special for me, because I was born in the first quarter of 1970, I like California a lot and I am also working in the creative-industry - So this one really suits me;-))

cheers, christoph
