I love the case design of the Toledos and in PG, they are just warm and awesome to me.
They wear a little big for my small wrist but I can appreciate the feeling of them on my wrist.
Both are beautifully crafted - case, dial. Between the two, purely on looks of the dial, I think the Toledo 1952 has more VC charms to it.
The Toledo 1951 feels more modern and cleaner and those who prefer a non-cluttered, simplier elegant look may prefer the 1951.
I won't mind owning either of these to be honest but if I can choose, I will choose the 1952 with the old world VC charm
Thanks Bill for the wonderful review!
cheers

more "cioccolatone" in 1952

for those who like cacao ;-)) Both are nice. Maybe 1952 for men and 1951 for women a perfect duo. Thanks for this side-by-side presentation. Cheers, Patrickh
