    Hello OF users,
    since I am very new i was wondering if the experienced users here have any recommendations about some literature that you see as a must read or you consider to be very helpful for vintage watch collecting.

    If there are any German speaking users I would be esepcially happy for some recommendations.

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Omega of course but i was wondering if there is some non-brand-sepcific literature out there that is useful.
    I like Eterna watches as well for example but am really just starting to explore this very big world ....

    Hello
    AJTT (A journey through time) and Moonwatch only will cover pretty much everything Omega. There is a thread about refrence books on this forum somewhere, just use the search function.

    You'll find many worthwhile books just with a little digging on your own. But don't forget to look for current and past auction catalogs--they can be a wealth of information too.
    Cheers!
