·With all the news lately, and inflation, I've been buying gold, mostly coins. So I figured I'd take the cooler and less economical route, and buy a chunky gold watch. But if you want something significant, not your typical, flimsy dress watch, with hollowed out lugs, skimpy on gold, you'll have to pay a premium. My local coin shop had this same model in stock, very worn though, like a bar of soap. So I did my research, and found this model on eBay, which was my first time going through the authentication process. I waited anxiously for about a week and a half for this to arrive. But it appears to have more gold than a vintage day date, and without the huge premium. I can see why this style is overlooked. It's dated and retro. But I absolutely love it, like a brick of 18k gold. Yet it feels like a modern watch, solid, minus the acrylic crystal.
