Re: Vintage Gallery
Vintage. There is something charming in them. Usually bit shabby and small and in need of TLC but...like em.

Re: Vintage Gallery
yep...and some more of them:
I do not even have all the pictures anymore...I found all of them at local ads, antique fairs, yard sales, retired watchsmiths...etc...
I actually owned 2 Seiko Blue bullheads and few more Omegas.
When my wife and I started our own venture, I sold all of them to profit costs of opening stores, some of them I got just to make profit to be honest but for some of them I regret I sold them..a lot to be honest.
Some were in NOS condition, some were rarer than hens teeth, I had 18k gold IWC with rare jumbo case, UG, Berthoud art deco (pre UG brand)..all gone now.
It summed up to 70 or something vintage watches incoming and going out at all the time. Some of them ,including vintage military Wittnauer diver and very rare jumbo Darwil are stil at my watchsmiths. He lost them somewhere in shop, I am off to him tommorow (at sunday!) to find them

Re: Vintage Gallery
Around dozen...no more. Btw.some vintage watches are hidden gems. Vintage Prim watches are dirt cheap and they come with in-house movements. Also Lanco watches share movement with Tissot and Omega 70s vintage watches ...Darwils are also probably most underrated vintage watches.

Re: Vintage Gallery
Two Smiths 9ct gold for the vintage gallery. Sorry about the poor photos but its the first chance I have had to really take any photo of them, both need a bit of a clean and service but I already have several watches in line in front of them.
And a Seiko Bullhead
