VHPs are very underrated. Nice pickup.

Oris. You get a great watch from a great company.

I appreciate the uniqueness of the Harrods, but overall think the BB58 blue looks better on your wrist.

Preowned Rolex explorer one? Little easier on the budget and will be extremely versatile.

commented on Waterproofness in Age of a watch · 1 year ago

There is always a risk with older watches so how well you trust it is a risk / reward decision everyone personally has to take.

Quality of steel in more modern watches is greatly improved over vintage. So lder watches can have pitting under the case which impacts water resistance.

Definitely getting in touch with a local watchmaker prior to purchasing is a great idea. I know mine will review high res picutes of the watch and advise me on condition before I purchase.

To geek out a little on pitting:
