    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......

    Based upon the prototype Omega SM 1000 Comex Janus
