Ah! That Tudor will pull a premium. Instant nostalgia, I really wish the 16600 Sea-Dweller wasn't valued as high as it currently is.

This era of Rolex / Tudor watches were among the best, especially for Tudor.

[Baco Noir]

Wow. Love the Omega, Zenith, and Tudor.

[carl]

Wow! That Hanhart 417 original from the 60s really grabs me! And that price as well for an original is really good!

Ah, the Ploprof! Albeit preculiar, I admire the piece for it's part of watch history. They didn't win the COMEX supply bid to Rolex but it's connection to that era and narrative make it highly desirable to me.

I wanted the modern version until I realized how difficult it is to find a good example currently. Same for vintage, so whom ever bought that is lucky!
