My Young Vintage Journey

[marinoc81]

When I first got into watches I had always appreciated vintage, but never thought I would spend any money on getting one for myself. I had recently been more into them, and have hit a temporary state of satisfaction. It took a while to acquire them, as I was very cautious and weary on buying. I feel that I may have passed up some great deals from being over cautious, but it really is necessary to be careful when buying vintage. I have built up a small collection, with some keepers for sure. It consists of: A Darwil Worldtime Bezel (KEEPER) A Lucerne Diver (to be flipped) A Omega Dynamic (KEEPER) A Bucherer Chronograph (KEEPER) A Zodiac 14k time only (would like to keep, may have to sell)

Nice collection, Marino   It's tough to have just 1 with so many great examples out there!

Very unique collection there. Great to see some of the more obscure models. It is a tough call knowing which to buy, especially not being always able to see them in real life. Looks like you made out very well. I had a try with a few vintage pieces, but for some reason they didn't get much wrist time. I was kind of wary about the maintenance of them. Now that I do know a bit more, which gives me some courage, I may give vintage a try once again.

I did have a Dynamic as well, one with no date. Very nice watch, but just could not get used to the shape. I love the colour combo on yours, though.

You have my favorite Dynamic dial / bracelet combo. That's a keeper for sure.

Carl, I actually was not a fan of the case shape either at first, but it grew on me very quick, and the shades of blue are beautiful

Thank you Roger. This combo is my favorite as well, it took a while to find!
