Which UG are you wearing today?

It’s funny. Im new to the vintage watch collecting hobby and I completely find myself drawn in by the dress watches only. So in the last year I’ve acquired a dozen circa 1950,60 and early 70s JNC, UG, Omega, Rolex, and UN ...sure I have a few Chronographs and a new Sinn 556I... but I’m not a big tool watch guy so for me the functionality of the chrono is “lost” somewhat. (Although I do consider my Breitling Chronomat D13350 Watch quite dressy with its MOP dial dressed up in 18k gold...)....for me, each of my vintage dress watches just look so much better with my suit I wear daily for work or for dinner functions. And they all look so different from each other. The 1952 JNC Bradley II “ships wheel” looks nothing like my 1970 Connie C ... overall, IMHO the “dressy watches” that some/ many feel are outdated from a collectors standpoint - Exude charm and understatement. For me, it’s not about the whims of collectibility or even investment value over time. . Nor the chase or the “resurrection from the dustbin and repair to old glory angle”

( which I totally get) .. it’s just an old, 34-36mm well made watch that looks great and helps this investment advisor tell a story.
