2 packages waiting for us when we got home. Something for the wife as well. Standard opening the box pictures The dog doesn't appear particularly interested in what is in the boxes There they are! Toledo 1952 red gold love the case Notice the post-it note...  

No message body

Meant to mention in the first post that I initially thought they sent me the watch without instructions. It took me about an hour to realize one of the items in the kit sent was a data stick. Not being very computer savy, I needed my wife to open the file... 

The Toledo 1952 is a lovely watch, and I like it best in the rose gold like you have. While the watch is small by the standards of today, when the original "cioccolatone" came out in the 1950's it was enormous relative to other watches being produced at t... 

I am going to wind the watch a little daily to keep it running. Just wanted to give a balanced opinion, I don't think there are any perfect watches or at least not any that I will own. The crown and lack of quickset day are far out weighed by the positive... 

The case is really superb, and original. Congratulations! Best, Nicolas.

and thanks for the pictures sent with the original post. Really liked the JLC 8 day perpetual. Stewart

wonder which of the two of you was the happier one or maybe you just shared your happyness. Best regards, George

but I will enjoy my watch more than her. She loves her watch, but it is still something to tell time more or less that can be worn to dressy occasions. I am a little more obsessed. Stewart

The Toledo is one of the VC iconic watches... the shape of its case makes it unique. Congrats ! Fx

especially the VC of course, but the Rolex is also great for maintaining a very understated, classical beauty without any silly diamonds found on 90% on female watches nowadays. Cheers, Filip

about the diamonds. She would consider a watch with diamonds used for hour indices, but nothing more. By the way, did you change your picture/avitar? I thought you had a Metal Gear drawing for your avitar (Solid Snake?). Thanks again. Stewart

I feel about women's watches (and my mother also feels the same way). Only acceptable thing would be if they used a minimal amount for the indexes or similar, but much better if there's none altogether. The lack of good offerings without diamonds for fema... 

for women's watches. It seems to imply that as long as the piece has a s*#%load of diamonds on it a woman will be happy with it. A little understatement goes a long way. I am more of a Kratos guy myself, a little more direct approach and a little less ste... 

is cool, those guys did a great job with the character and universe . Cheers, Filip

Congratulations on your purchase! I hope you have many more to come. The watches are beautiful, especially yours! Have fun with it! Cheers SamEE

I appreciate you looking at the pics and responding. Stewart

first holidays, then presents!! always like the Toledo, which i find quite unique design. love the curvex, but would have prefered sapphire see thru back, but hey...with current gold prices, more bang for the buck. wristshots? best, Horo

have a display back, thought at first maybe staying true to the historical model, but their other historiques have display backs. I will post some wrist shots and see if I can get the wife to pose for one, or I will model it for her. Thanks for the reply....
