Well I choose BOTH 😁...
I have 2 original Ed Whites Nicolas, one is pristine and untouched condition, and I am still excited to get the new re-edition as I explained in another thread. The problem with the vintage piece is replacement parts, damage, etc... That is the advantage ...
While I appreciate vintage watches and have done so for many years, I find that I like to wear my watches and often times in rough situations....
so for me I prefer modern watches more than vintage watches. I guess I am more an enthusiast who likes to wear a variety or watches than a collector who has more focus or has a theme for their collection 🤷♂️🤪
If I had the 2020 edition, I'd still want . . .
. . . the '63. On the other hand, if I had the '63, I could easily do without the current edition. ...
