Currently going through the same feeling since I bought my 1960 Rolex ref 1601 about 6 weeks ago.

I feel rather silly as I write this, but it's nice to know that I'm not alone!

Enjoy your Cadisen, or whatever watch it is that "scratches the itch."

I wonder where it's been, what it's seen? Just something about vintage watches that fascinates me. How about you?
