Intro
I started using vintage pocket watches as daily users 40 years ago.
Then switched to time only vintage wrist watches spanning the 30s thru 70s with many VC and PP versions.
Recently I have divested of all but the Cartier, an 1895 VC pocketwatch, 40s Deco style VC. and a Longines pilot.
I never owned safe queens and all went on the wrist.

The plan already made, a miracle happen. A second grail watch appears. My grail i own, so the second comes as a surprise. So i put a Cartier Santos in the fridge for the future. This day really made me feel outstanding. Explained, the Cartier Santos is no...
