Of course there are harder watches, with more specificity. I never said this was the HARDEST watch to find.

A marvel of a vintage watch: Zenith Cairelli.

Absolutely stunning!!! Thanks for continuing the torture!😜

My pleasure, Mach. :)

Great pics as always, mon ami! A functional and gritty piece👌

Thanks, Vallura.

Yes, an outstanding watch. I'm thrilled to have the WPS 15th anniversary piece.

Indeed, my friend. It is the next best thing, after the Cairelli!

It's a dream watch... But a nightmare to buy!

Not an easy game, indeed.

why?

Why is it hard to find a well preserved, in original condition, highly desirable, rare vintage watch?

Well ,here as often, buy the seller is THE rule.

Sure. But a rare watch, is still a rare watch. And even with a good seller, mistakes are made.

Yes, true, but with some serious homework, it is not too tough to fall on a good one.

BigFatPauli, it is not such a big thing - all information available about this watch - there are much more vintage watches, that are more difficult to buy

Which is great news for those, like me, who are hunting it. ;)

8000 Euro is no problem and some time before ... - i think you know this - regards Stephan

I know this too well. ;)

Unreal

Yep, always thrilling to fall on such a piece.
