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. ;)

Wow - just wow! Amazing piece. May I ask what year it was made?

 
 By: lm6 : November 19th, 2022-17:38

1969.

Very well preserved indeed!

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.

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!

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. ;)

 
 By: amanico : November 19th, 2022-21:59

Looking forward to it!

 
 By: KCLQMULKU : November 19th, 2022-22:04

Merci!
