    I was doing some Xmas shopping and stopped by the Ralph Lauren Vintage store in West broadway, Soho, NYC. Not sure if this is something they do have on other stores but they have quite a collection of Pristine Vintage Wathes for sale there, along other vintage objects. I fell in love with an explorer, and they had an amazing pre-moon Speedy and another Omega that I can't identify by sight, but it's 1950's and very very beautiful with a double dial design. to m surprise the gents at the store where exceedingly knowledgeable about not only the watches they have in store but horology in general. I definitely recommend you guys stopping by. Not sure if their prices will be way too much or not, next time I'm there i may take some pics and ask for a price list.

    well, the pre moon was above 10g which is high, the explorer was around 6 which seemed right to me. Still, some great and stunning pieces in there

    And always fun to look at. Nothing like vintage eye candy, even if you're not going to buy.

    My wife saw my face and just said "no" and got me out of there. I did get a nice jacket though:(
