    Over the past 6 months, I learned a lot about vintage watches. I would like to thank warmly all OF members who helped me and shared their passion: @LouS @Noodia @gatorcpa @woodwkr2 @cristos71
    It all starts now. Thanks a lot.
    ***
    Here is my first vintage watch, the first of a long series.
    With this watch, I choose to start low end. The next one will be a higher-end Compax (Zenith, UG...)

    Titus Genève circa 1940s 18k rose gold. Bought thanks to @Fost .

    That's a beauty of a chrono! The dial is very nice, bit of age to it, and the black and gold together are so nice!

    Great entry!

    ...now you're done for!

    Very cool and even better if it's your first vintage. Good score.

    Thank all! this community makes me want to continue my foray into vintage watches

    Sorry Fost for taking your favorite ! I hope you enjoy your Piepan.
    The transaction was very smooth with Harry, he is a passionate collector.
    I will post about his IWC collection.

    Twin register chrono, you're on the bus now Marcel and it doesn't stop except to collect more of them.

    "Low end" or "high end", who cares? They're just arbitrary labels. Besides, I think you're far too modest. That is a lovely watch - congrats!
