Great collection! I feel we have the same vintage itch, am looking for that cs3111. If you are looking for moon phase, JLC has some beautiful vintage moon calendar.

In Canada. My love for leather straps keep them on most of the year, other than summer. Then I switch to NATO or rubber. Bracelet is reserved for the times I dip into the water. I like my watches fairly light on the wrist.
Wow! I was so tempted to get polerouter at a great price recently but I decided against it... Because of my two UG watches. Getting someone to service was tough, finding parts even tougher. Maybe someday...

Underestimating the complexity around servicing vintage watches. I love vintage watches from the 50s/60s. I bought 3 or 4 of them over a stretch of 2 years or so. And found out that even when they came from trusted sellers and had been "serviced" prior, inevitably would fail in some ways. The costs can be a quite a shock, parts might not be around anymore, and you really need to find a watchmaker that you can trust and knows their way around old vintage watches. Now it feels like I will always have a second thought when grabbing them from my watchbox....
