Just received this yesterday. Nice looking watch. But it is a a cough gasp, Quartz. Not even vintage. What was I thinking? Ok, I like the design. This is a Vincero ChronoS-Gold. Citizen Quartz movement. Sapphire coated mineral crystal, 4 ATM water resistance. Luminous hands and Italian leather band. Feels kind of big for me at 43mm , but I have been wearing a 1960 Seamaster as my daily. 2 year warranty. Oh and a piece of Italian marble on the case back. Had a slight discount on it and for just over $135 USD, not bad for something like this. So what do you a all think? Decent daily wearer, even if it is a Quartz?

I've mentioned previously in this thread that I have several weak spots when it comes to vintage - chief among them 50+ y.o. pieces in pristine condition. And I love what I perceive to be a bargain. I bought this because it was looking pristine, I took the statement that it was recently serviced as credible and at the price I paid that would just be a bonus if it was serviced.

I've had it for a couple of days and it's keeping incredible time. The simple hand wind movement looks clean and the gasket is fresh.

The 35mm sized case is in excellent condition; in fact, the only mark on the back I put there being ham handed with my case opener.

And the dial and crystal are about perfect. The lume still has some life to it.

Got a soft spot for vintage Alpina.
Perhaps one of the most underrated brands around right now.
My first one with a black dial. Some TLC needed but I have hopes......

Been training with a 125 and a Mark III, and after a while, your arm get used to it
