    Hi everybody, have been reading for a while in the background but would like to step up my game here as I see a lot of very valuable collector-level information passing by. My name is Andy, I’m a financial advisor located in Belgium, and I’m passionate about vintage pieces. Modern watches just don’t do it for me. I am now mainly active on the Dutch Horlogeforum.nl, and on IG (follow me here: https://www.instagram.com/a_pylyser/ ). Some recent pictures of watches in my collection (I have +50 in total):

    Gorgeous, I have the 38mm very high up my wanted list!

    Angelus is one of the most underrated brands still, absolutely love ‘em, together with Omega, Longines and Eterna.

    @septentrio

    We have a tradition here on OF called “dibs”.

    And I am calling DIBS on ALL of the stainless steel chronographs you have shown so far, and also on those not yet shown. ::love::

    I’ve limited my dibs to give others a chancel ::stirthepot::
