I’m curious Nicolas

How many vintage watches do you currently own and how did you build your collection?

I built my collection all along these last 24 years. Hunting on line, watch dealers here and there, collectors... Well, I have quite a few. ;)

1969.

Very well preserved indeed!

By: lm6 : November 19th, 2022-18:43

It has been with me for some 14 or 15 years now, and I took great care of it.

By: amanico : November 19th, 2022-21:51

It's well worth taking care of!

By: lm6 : November 19th, 2022-21:57

Absolutely. It is my task.

By: amanico : November 19th, 2022-22:00

That’s one of my favourites in your collection. Superb. Regards Kev.

Thank you, Kev.

This is a very handsome timepiece indeed!

The clean dial is quite alluring, as are the hands, pusher, and large crown. Its history just adds that additional spice to this watch! Wonderful!

Here is the case back, telling the story... And the History.

...

Very special indeed!

By: KCLQMULKU : November 19th, 2022-21:58

I also find the signs of wear at the back to add to the overall beauty.

Yes, a watch which is very dear to me. I will post the review one of these days. I wrote it some 14 years ago, but didn't publish it. ;)

Looking forward to it!

Merci!
