Not expensive do not mean it is rubish

You pick up those watches that belongs on the wrists of passioned watch lovers.
Those watches that needs to get out of a drawer, and need a fresh bath in the hands of a watch maker.
Angelus is for what i know have some name. I guess it made still watches, but i am not sure.
I know a vintage watch shop, but the watches have proper prices because they know what they offer. A few Minerva’s for example.
I do not take the plunge, i do not know how a small watch looks on my wrist, vintage watches are small as i see many times they are around 34mm case sizes, while i use to be wear at least 40mm case size watches.
Not machined engined dial as a steel watch is humble, love is more important than some rare metals.
Heritage is for me more important than a newby made of gold. So that’s why i desire such a Minerva.

Thanks for your comments.

You are probably correct considering what guilloche looks like on a Shapiro or Breguet (and the resultant prices). But I like it too and I'll get more than my moneys worth in enjoyment.

I've also read through most of the threads that come up when I search "Angelus" on this site. Although most of the posts are either regarding newer Angelus watches or the obviously more desirable vintage chronographs, it still provides interesting reading...
