What got away

What's one watch you highly regret parting with? For me it's this vintage Vulcain Marriage watch. I kick myself every day. I search the buy and sells in hopes that whoever has it now puts it back on the market.....

Haven't sold any watches yet but I think it will be really hard for me to do so.

All the ones I trashed from 1960s,and 70s. Damn lol. Only if I knew what I know now.

Cheers!

I did sell my first grail (below) and that was plain stupid...

But then did I miss to buy the most delicious dress watch I ever seen, even if it did cost only 65 euro 1983 and that was partly because I just got my second grail, who also had a sunny dial... And partly because Japanese watches was less than half the price at Canaria, but I didn't find it there and when I came back, was it gone forever & ever 😢

And just look at that magic ultra elegant bracelet...

Watches from my Dad & Grandpa. I wasn't obsessed with watches then and I'm sad to say they got donated to the local thrift store.

This Chronograph, only one I ever owned, SNN233. It always made me think of steam engines.

A marriage watch - marriage watches are an abomination. I’m sorry, but effectively destroying a perfectly decent pocket watch to create an oversized monstrosity is vulgar. I would not spray paint clothes onto Michelangelo’s David, or put Swarovski crystals on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, they are fine as they are. The fact it exists is painful enough…
