Two vintages? How about . . .
. . . two Omega ref 2410s?
One steel with pink gold bezel, like this example from Bill Sohne's collection . . .
. . . for formal occasions, and this one in steel with a black dial . . .

. . . for everyday wear.
Why the ref 2410? It houses the legendary cal 30T2SCrg movement, and has a screw-back case. Now, that's special!

2 watches only, Vintage theme.
It's a new week team, and I hope it's been off to a good start for everyone. We've been having some great discussion in my previous post, the answers so far have been fascinating. I'm finding it harder and harder to NOT devote my life to just owning a Rog...
I'll open with my tentative selection. So many to choose from
Rolex Milgauss 1019, late production example with a black dial. Patek Philippe 3448 in white gold, with the signed 'PP' crown.!Or platinum, if I could somehow make that happen on one of my mad dashes into the 20th century.

Of all the rg chronometers . . .
. . . including the incredibly rare ref 2363, the 2410 is considered the one to have by Ω aficionados. The screw-back 35 mm steel case is what seals the deal. Surviving examples tend to be in good condition. Cordially, Art
In perfect condition & with spares makes it easier
Hi Being to get the spares is really important - if you want to keep wearing them. Think I'd have to go for a Futurematic - as they're just stunning watches & if you get a 37mm in steel they are still contemporary. Second one again would have to be an ala...
Only 2?!!
For weekends, road trips & foreign travels / explorations - a Heuer Autavia GMT, or maybe an Enicar Sherpa GMT fits the brief. For suited & booted in town and evenings out, - a PP 1578, or a JLC Memovox - both in SG. But I'd trade the lot (and mor...
These are great choices
I think the representation of Autavia's so far is very interesting, and vintage memovox!
Rolex ref. 1018, Patek ref. 3428
The 3428 is perhaps an unattainable dream; 3425 is a fair substitute and more realistic.
3428!
Great pick! I googled this reference. It's one of my favourites, beaten only by the 3448 for me. I just struggle to remember Patek Refence numbers at times. The disco volante just looks so cool, but the 3428 is so elegant, and has what I believe is a grea...
Mmm this a very tough choice...
Omega Speedmaster 145.022-69 transitional 220 bezel. Breguet sector dial from 1944 onion crown (sold by Phillips at their auction on may 31TH). Best.
That is your decision.
Could even say out of production! Whatever requires a time machine to buy brand new. I need a time machine....
This is a tought exercise!
Knowing nothing about vintage, and having the possibility to have everything, I'd go with the actual July 20th, 1969 Moonwatch on the actual spacesuit in the actual space. I guess I could easily win the WristScan contest with a pic like this! Secondly,I'd...
Oh and also
You then throw in a hammered gold citizen quartz?!?!! Cool as it comes my friend!
I thought to diverge a bit and find something unusual and imaginific.... really meandering.
And remember, I'm a noob so expect other strange posts! Cheers, Max
