    I have a few "vintage" watches, but they were gifts. All my watches except one I bought NEW or Pre-owned/unworn. You can say more of a hobby. I like to buy them right and keep them. It is a bonus that my daughter likes to wear them. I bought the IWC and Omega this year. I'm done for now.

    Picture not visible unfortunately.

    I have Tissot PR50 moonphase.
    Looks cool but it's a cheap Tissot. I am on low budget!

    I like the Mickey mouse Ingersoll now.
    And generally liking the Ingersoll style after a quick Google glance.

    I am supporting the completely obsolete fax machine industry. I have 2 Cannons, 3 Brothers, etc. :)

    Watches are jewelry at this point, that was my point.

    You should sell them in Japan. For some reason the Japanese still use them.

    The 003 is a Spring Drive and mine is accurate to about 3s/year. Mine is an outlier but all of the 9RA2 mvmts I've seen have been within 10s/year. The 36K SBGH255 has the hobnail dial. Both are in 6/4 titanium. One of the few watches in Grade 5 ti.

    None of my watches are accurate to 3s/week! I have a winding box but I often have to adjust once a month.

    Damn, I hope they didn't take it off your wrist.

    In London they stole 29k watches in a few years. The police had to go undercover to stop them bastards.
