Thank you for your comment, good sir! Yes, vintage Seikos, especially those in the 60s and 70s are really undervalued due to snobbery, in my humble opinion 🙏🏼😡

commented on Beautiful newest chronograph reissue, this time by Tissot ·

I think its beautiful! But at 42mms in diameter, definitely too big for a vintage reissue in my humble opinion. That being said, as the article suggests, Tissot's mass market isn't too keen on smaller sizes🥲🤷🏽‍♂️

commented on Hello again to the beautiful Watchcrunch Community! Second opinions wanted! 😁 ·

Thank you for your comment, good sir! He's letting it go for a decent price, not dirt cheap. However, knowing myself, I will not enjoy the watch at all and it'll just be collecting dust! Ignorance is bliss, and unfortunately, we all, as watch enthusiasts, that phrase does not work for us hahahah! Thank you again, good sir🥳🙏🏼

Thank you for your comment, good sir! I agree, pre war Hamilton was definitely a powerhouse. And thank you for the shout out to International Dial, I'll definitely check them out! 😁💪🏽

Thank you for your comment and knowledge, good sir! I'll definitely keep looking for my first American made vintage beauty! I've read about such great designs and innovations that really propelled America to heights that arguable surpassed the Swiss at their heights. Thanks again! 💪🏽🥳
