A community for watch & horology discussion.
I’ve been collecting watches for the last 8 months. I have around 40 watches, and here are 16 of them. My favourites among them are the 1970 Datejust and the 1969 Universal Polerouter. I’m quite a thrifty guy, so besides a few splurges, most of them are below $200. I like vintage watches and tinker with them as a hobby. What other watches should I look out for?
What's bottom right?
I kindly ask you to hand over that Zenith… stunning watch. Love the eterna too, have a 1960s Eterna KonTiki myself (on my profile). What about adding another vintage Chronograph as I only see one there? Something with an Excelsior Park or Valjoux movement?
WOW. Stunning.
The Piaget is so cool.
Wait - I don't understand. Wonderful watches, but how did you get a Rolex / Speedy / Universal for sub $200? By all means, share your secrets!
40 watches in 8 months? How?
Love these, some of those dials are stunning. Where do you mostly hunt for vintage?
Now this is cool.👌🏼
Great classic collections...the bottom blue Helvetia looks amazing.
Dude the bottom right. It's gorgeous.
What's your go-to source for finding vintage watches? Ebay? Chrono24?
8 months?? Good luck in 5 years when 16 vintage omegas need service
That’s why I’ve picked up watchmaking as a hobby. I can take them apart and replace parts as needed
Look out for these
Love it. Digging the vintage pieces.
Fantastic collection! Some real beauties in there. Particularly like the Vulcain, the Polerouter, and the Record.
Vintage Longines has some great value too – they put out some amazing designs from the 1940s through to the 1970s.
First time that I see same dial online, though this ones case is gilded. This is my late grandfathers watch he got in I believe 1968.
Nice one, what movement is inside? Mine’s their in-house Cal 830
831, you can see it on top here. Looks whole different.
Nice I’ve just sold a Helvetia with the 831 movement. It’s an in-house movement as well, one of the last from Helvetia before they switched over to ETA
The Piaget is really sharp!!Great Collection.
I love the font on ETERNA. Kind of an old horror movies poster vibe.
Yes, they have the coolest font among all the watches I have. Art Nouveau meets Bauhaus?
I have one of similar vintage with numerals also in a similar font . I can’t figure out how to post a picture from an iPad even in desktop view though.
What model is the Dugenamatic ? Wonderful face; all very classy watches
What a,refreshing change to see....
Love that blue dial helvetica
That Polerouter 👌
The Cortebert design and patina are incredible.
My man you need a Calatrava. One and done!
