·Hello,
I am a new member here trying to learn as much about vintage watches (Omega & Longines) as I can before dipping my toe in the market. I don't currently own any vintage watches , however I'm trying to replace a sentimental watch (father's Patek Philippe given to him by my grandparents in 1952 when he received his Naval Aviator Wings) that was stolen during a 2007 move from CONUS to Japan. As a retired Marine Naval Aviator, and soon to have two more Naval Aviators (one son Marine and one son Navy), I'd like to pass along something special to recognize their achievement.
I can see this hobby has many holes with multiple branches that could occupy a great deal of time. I have many hobbies (boats/cars/running) and I hope to be able to share them with my kids. Thanks.
Cheers,
Bret
