I really like the concept of the second option particularly Chris, Make your own Vintage, that resonates. You buy a more modern watch, you have the memories and life changing experiences with it. May be a few bumps and bangs on the way, but you look after it well, you age with it and eventually you pass it on to the next generation, with all those Great War stories. I think that's harder to replicate with Vintage because you're more concerned with the caring for it, the pampering, the collection. I'm fortunate enough to have both of your options, option 2 was where I went first though. I love my Vintage watches but for more aesthetic reasons, rather than experiential reasons.
