Beautiful vintage Certina time piece !
Just wanted to share with you the gift I received today from my mum : this watch belonged to my Spanish grand father and I thought it was long gone / lost.
So what a surprise when she came home and told me she found it while doing some cleaning.
I remember my grandpa wearing this manual wound / small second omega de ville cornes de vache Look a like watch on the wrist while walking around “el barrio”: a proud man with a stylish timepiece!
You can tell it has been through the years and guess what : it still keeps good time so far.
Now I understand the love for vintage watches: it is all about the memories of an era, a time period that was somewhere in my mind and suddenly rushed back when I saw that 36 mm beauty. I feel really connected to it !
A question for you watch purist : should I take it to a watch shop for a check up ? Does anyone know a little bit about the brand / that model ? (I bet it was a common timepiece ,nothing special but I want to connect to this era )
Thanks for looking
36 mm ! I cannot believe how good it feels and look on my large wrist
