Vintage watches
« on: July 18, 2009, 01:03:27 PM »
Hi ALL,
Saw lots of nice new watches in this forum. Was wondering if we do have vintage collectors as well ?

Here are some of my humble collection...  (sorry for the lousy pic shots)

1) Bucherer



2) Wyler


3) Vulcain


cheers....!

Hi Fleaman,

Nice vintage collection you got there  :thumbsup:

I used to have a lot of vintage watches when i was working in UK (a lot vintage time pieces you can get there compare to Msia) I used to have some Omega, Oris and SEIKO.. i sold most of them when I started with modern Rolex (mostly traded) but I still keep 1 Oris (my first manual winding vintage Oris), 1 vintage SEIKO and 1 or 2 UK brand vintage ;)

In my opinion, unless I'm a watch-maker or know how to perform service to the watches, otherwise, it will be hard for me keeping many vintage and honestly, i can't tell if the movement is real (parts) or aftermarket... but then again, i think it's cool if someone wearing a vintage (like your Vulcain) with some good looking design!

Thanks for sharing  :Cheers:

Anyone realised that the launching of the new sub follows the same pattern as the gmt2c, which was 1st launched in gold, then in 2-tone, only then in steel model (marketing strategy maybe  :P) so for those who are interested in steel + ceramic + maxi dial should hold and wait for next year IMO  ;)
