What have been your best vintage watch discoveries?....
I recently have had some bad luck buying vintage watches for myself and have a lot to learn within that sector of the watch market. It hasn't been all bad though for my wife, over the years I have able to acquire some fairly nice "authentic" pieces for her. Just wondering what others have discovered over the years, from what I've seen there are a lot of gems out there and some to still be uncovered!..........
Below is a 1970's/80's Omega DeVille in WG that I don't know much about. A 1960's Patek Ellipse in YG and a Rolex in WG that appears to be produced in the 1970's or 80's. I had Rolex service this watch about 5 years ago and was told that the diamond bracelet was custom, the watch was originally sold with a string type of strap. Who ever made the diamond bracelet did a great job, its much better looking than a piece of string!
Looking forward to your responses......
Tony
