Thought I might start a thread for pointing all those newbies to nice watches (in my opinion)
( so I don’t have to break their little hearts and tell them the watches they linked are rubbish )


WATCH No 1

As this seller sells with the dealers many may overlook this beauty for a good price. A lot of watch for $525

Ok, clearly @STANDY is trying to wrestle his Seiko from the bowels of yet another croc, so I’ll help this one along.

This one has lingered here and I can’t for the life of me figure out why. Whenever we get a new member who wants a gold 50’s seamaster- this is what they visualize- hell, this is the epitome of cool 50’s Seamasters- who doesn’t love a date at 6?!?!

i have a date-at-6 that i've had for several years that needs some TLC, aftermarket second hand, and some dial patina, but a sharp case and lugs and haven't seen another dial with pleasure dots. 😉

Have you seen the price of this manual wind. Bargain with a capital B
Anyone new to vintage this is the watch you buy to see if you want a vintage watch or like vintage watches.
The movement is nothing shabby being a 592

No 2

To (really poorly) paraphrase Godfather III: "Every time I think I'm out of vintage, these guys pull me back in!"

Clever thread, @STANDY 😁

I can’t wait for the first guy who self promotes his own wares in this thread. It’ll happen one day unironically just wait and see
