So this is the special delivery you were expecting from Italy the other day !
I'm so happy Abel that you have managed to get an 1158CHN. I had always thought it was only a matter of time until you aceived this "grail" watch.
The dial, hands and date all look to be in fantastic condition and as a master goldsmith there was never any doubt the case was going to be put back into perfect order. A truely remarkable watch.
I also like your choice of leather strap, a great contrast in colour to show off the gold & black features.

I'm also expecting delivery of a very special package any day now ;-)

: So after having owned already three 1158 gold Carrera's (one 1158S
: and two 1158CH) I now finally had the chance to acquire what I
: was already searching and hunting for the last 2 years now...an
: 1158-CHN. An there's even more to come ;-)

: The dial contrast from the gold in combinaition with the black
: subregisters makes this gold watch a very sporty appearance for
: sure, somewhat stubborn but very characteristic. I think you
: love it....or you hate it.

: Not only the historical background but also the dial contrast for
: sure makes this for me the nicest 1158...followed by the 1158CH
: and finally the 1158S. But ofcourse that's personal preference.

: The black date disc really lifts the watch up to a special level
: and gives it just that extra distinguished look it needs to
: balance the black and the gold tones.

: I let the pictures do the talking from here.
