What else do you guys suggest me getting 😃? Is my current collection to your liking ☺?
I am a passionate and avid Vintage Watch enthousiast! Sommelier by trade, Vintage Watch collector by heart! Check me out on YouTube, Simply Vintage Watches 😀👍.
You like firsts. How about the first micro-rotor? It is either a Buren or a UG from around 1958. Or, since I don't see a pocket watch, how about a 1924 50th Anniversary watch from Gruen? They sold so slowly that Gruen did not sell the last one until the 1950's. It was a 24 carat pentagon shaped watch that cost more than a car when it was introduced. Of course, if pocket watches don't excite, you could try to find one of the first 100 1943 Gruen Pan Americans that had the model name on the case back.
Thank you for sharing your collection. It's fantastic. I have no suggestions, just tipping the cap in appreciation.
I think this Meyers will fit like a glove in your mix.
Nice to see you back. Fantastic collection you have put together. The Tissot is where I am right now.

Always a pleasure Aurelian 🙏. I see myself hunting down a Buren or a Hamilton microtor for that matter. It was a joined venture between both companies in order to develop the first Microtor. Thank you for the great suggestion my friend 😃👌.
