I personally do not like too collectors grade 馃榿
This not only because you can not wear those but also it has not yet developed its own unique charisma, its own very individual face.
If a watch is like factory new, even if it is 60 years old, it looks like an industrial product produced hundrets or thousend of times. Only by it's very personal history the watch becomes a subject, an individual 馃グ
My personal view of course.
Here is the most extrem example of my collection in this category. There is no other in the world having the same face馃槜

@BASE1000 makes some good points. Love the character & history of a used vintage. Though, I ain't one to turn down a "collectors" if presented the opportunity. Hint. Hint.
