Wear them with pride
In Response To: Do I wear these Monacos or not ()

3 rare Monaco's in one swoop - WOW !!!
Wear them and appreciate them John.
The only advice on the PVD'd baby would be something i saw David post here some time ago. Get a spare 73633 case and have it PVD'd yourself - then you can use the watch but not worry about the all too precious finish on that exotic case.
Personally i like your new 1533 Silver dial. Cal 15 movement with there constant seconds hand brings a form of animation to the large square Monaco face.
Very envious but happy for you - Darren

: Just thought I would share a few new additions to my collection.
: Thanks to Nic Green for selling me these fantastic watches which
: are even better in the flesh than I expected.

: I did think long & hard about the PVD Monaco as I wasnt sure
: how much I liked it compared to the traditional colours. Having
: just received it I have to say its a fantastic watch & even
: better than I thought it would be. The bright red/orange hands
: really stand out against the black surface.

: The down side is the price & a wife non to happy her shopping
: trips are curtailed.

: The big question is do I now risk wearing the PVD or keep it locked
: in a safe? I think my view is that watches are for wearing &
: what the hell if I get a few knocks over the years as it adds to
: the character & hopefully doesnt diminish the value too
: much.
