Beautiful shot - challenging vintages ones?

Beautiful shots as always - made me want one 🤤 



When I was reading this post I thought of what you wrote on another of your posts (reg JLC memovox) regarding the fact that “only vintage watches were having that type of soul”: Would such a reedition challenge that notion and become a competitor to vintage models? Or were you more referring to older plexi, hairlines …


I guess when I look myself at vintage watches I always find them special (aka with soul) on the one hand, but then consider all the practical aspects (no real water proofing, unsure about originality of parts, …) and finally usually pass.

And I wonder therefore if true reeditions would solve that conundrum? Or maybe I’m just on the edge (of entering into vintage world) and slowly moving towards it. Maybe a vintage 5513, old tank, older memovox, vintage vc…? 🤔

I guess all I need is a mentor / pilot to help navigate the mine-field at beginning 🤔

Too glad I got one back then
