[Discussion] What's the oldest watch you have? (alien.top)

What's the oldest watch you have? And why?

I sold a variety of Swiss and non-swiss brands for a long time when I worked as a jeweller. At the same time, I developed an interest in antique jewellery and watches.

So whether is cheap or expensive, working or not, 5 years old or 100+ years old, what's the oldest watch you own? Is it a sentimental piece or something you purchased because of its model?

Just hoping to find out about some more different watches out there!

A quartz Rodania Chronograph from 1998. Not that expensive (around €150).

I got it for my 16th birthday from my parents. It still works fine, although I don't wear it that often anymore.

Note: Rodania was pretty popular back then in Belgium, as it's a "Belgium based Swiss brand" which is very affordable. And it was advertised a lot back then.

Oh my god.

I don't know why I never put it together before. I know of rodania watches, but never clicked that the little rolling r ro-da-ni-aaaa tune I've known since a kid was for the brand! Oh my god I feel like an idiot now lololol!! To be fair though I am an Aussie
