Vintage watches in Paris
Hi all
I think I am going to have 3 hours free in Paris next tuesday, providing the meeting finishes on time, before a flight.
Can anyone suggest a good vintage watch shop / or area, which may be worth a look?
What am I looking for? No idea - obviously be great if I walked into an old watch makers shop, and he had a lovely Tornek Rayville TR 900, or a nice JLC Deep Sea Alarm, military issued Omega 300, but any vintage divers interest me, and even more recent watches too- Rolex/Tudor subs, JLC GMT's.
If you have any ideas, please let me know.
Cheers Tony
