Hi All,

I have been on something of a buying spree lately. A combination of the right pieces cropping up, bonus time & easing back on my medication!

I had planned to join the PP club a while ago & I have been admiring these pieces from afar. My collection was short of a yellow gold cased dress watch so I decided to settle on this.

It's one of those pieces that is completely out of reach gen wise in my lifetime but I love the design to bits.

DC will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this is a replication of the 530 though the case back & TDs list it as the 130.

The archive photos of gens often have it paired with brown/tan straps & again because of my collection having an IWC 3714 with a dark strap (blue gator) I decided to order something & have it ready for when my piece arrived from the Far East.

I bought through Mary who also hooked the IWC up & the whole process went perfectly. I must say at this stage I'm fairly relaxed about the whole process: Payment, waiting, QC, Transit & Delivery I don't sweat the details.

I absolutely love this piece it is really nicely finished with a great hand wound movement that all being well will prove reliable.

Please see below my pictures, I'm delighted to have added this to my daily rotation (pictured with supplied black strap & changed onto the new one).
