Vintage Watch Collection
I visited a friend last evening who took out some of his watches for a closer examination. He explained in detail each reference, the year it was manufactured, its historical significance and where it was obtained but after dinner and a bottle of wine, combined with my limited mental capacity, I'm afraid I can't offer any more than these photos. For someone like myself who only buys watches to wear, this was a bit overwhelming. I hope you enjoy.
P.S. My apologies in advance for the meager information and any mistakes are mine and not the owner's.
