Oh yes, I buy vintage pieces from trusted and well-established dealers with good return policies only. It is a little more expensive this way but you protect your investment.

I also have an experienced and certified watchmaker reviewing all vintage piece I buy and I had avoided this way problems and frustration.

Agreed 100%!

I ordered that exact same watch you have, a real beauty. But the second day I placed my order I changed my mind and I asked the dealer to change it to the one I own.

I do love old cars too, my father owned and classic Mercedes-Benz from the 50s I believe, when I was a child in El Salvador. God, my dad loved that car and that was another reason I got me this watch.

The Max Bill is a gorgeous watch, I love it. Agreed 100%.

I believe I will sell it, it is a beautiful watch indeed but it does not make me as happy as day one so it gets very little wrist time.

Vintage are trouble sometimes, I do agree. That is why I got me this Junghans but those Timex of yours I must admit look closer to vintage watches. Are those 36 millimeters? That would be another point to Timex over Junghans because mine is 40 millimeters 😞.

commented on Leather straps or metal bracelets? Which is your favorite for your watches? ·

I had that same opinion but during summer, I had found a high quality NATO strap on a field watch match beautifully and wears comfortably.
