They look kind of cool! I might pick up on that👍Lovely Longines👌
I love vintage watches. It's where my interest started. Lovely watch BTW.
Many of the watches in my collection are vintage Seikos from the 60's and 70's. They created a lot of really cool stuff during that period. I'm wearing my vintage King Seiko from 1971 today.
Definitely a fan of vintage - some pitfalls and horrors out there but diligence can mitigate the dangers.
And what are these "vintage watches" of which you speak?
(Nice Longines.)

That Seiko is killer!

I’ve only purchased a couple other than this one. I bought an ‘86 Seiko Dolce, and a ‘96 Gold Bulova Tank. This is a new interest of mine but I fell in love with a ‘60s Omega in a vintage watch shop a couple months back and it really started my vintage watch craze.

This is the watch that started my deep dive into vintage.

Oh, I was just joking. Vintage is 90% of what I own and wear.
Used to collect vintage during the 80s, visited a watchmaker from Vietnam near my old office almost daily. He kept a gorgeous tank of salt water tropical fish in his front shop where an employee sold some Seikos, Citizens and Bulovas. He confided in me that the aquarium was possible only from my payments which he considered to be donations. Additionally I eventually discovered that even a properly service vintage watch was at risk to fail at any moment, not robust like current watches.

I don't know what they are, but there is a guy on here with thick lustrous arm hair who has many, you could ask him.They are often quite small & were made at a time when the world was in black & white
You should that baby is sweet.
I love vintage pieces. I spend too much time and money finding the neglected ones and try to bring them back to life. I've got a few in my rotation, but most are waiting for parts that I salvage from pieces that are in worse condition. Sadly, I sacrifice some to save others. This is Bulova (ca 1928) that I saved a few months ago

That can be a very deep dive😳 Be careful ☺️
