I know a lot of folk sneer/scoff/make rude gestures at Hodinkee on here (and elsewhere) but I bought this recent publication of theirs a couple of weeks ago and, well, I enjoyed reading it.

yeah im a sucker for the vintage watches. right now i collect only omegas but would love to branch out into others like bulova, hamilton and such.

If you are thinking of vintage Universal Geneve as a possibility (and you should) then Sala's book on Chronos is essential

I can recommend Omega's book "From Seamaster to Seamaster":

Great photography there.

"Chasing Time" by Alistair Gibbons is a great book for vintage chronograph lovers.

Also, "Moonwatch Only" 3rd edition has great price in UK. Just got one for myself.

So I ordered the third edition Moon Watch Only. It was shipped from the UK on the 11th and arrived here today the 14th. Hell I can’t get a letter across the states that quick?
