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

As a doctor in my mid thirties, I’d suggest vintage watches. They will still likely outlast us all, and it’s fun to diagnose and fix should anything go wrong

Yes, they have the coolest font among all the watches I have. Art Nouveau meets Bauhaus?

That’s why I’ve picked up watchmaking as a hobby. I can take them apart and replace parts as needed

 

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?
