Re-introducing: The Vintage Forum

We tried this awhile ago, and it didn't get much traffic, but with the renewed and sustained interest in vintage watches over the last couple years, here's a good place to compile information, share new pickups, and ask questions.

If you have suggestions on topics that need to be moved to this forum, feel free to PM any of the mods.

Good call. I don't have any vintage watches, but I'm old and I like watches, so I'm all for it :cheers:

Me, too. I have a couple vintage I guess. My 1973 Vulcain, a 6309 Seiko, and a 1952 Prostate.
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

Not much to add, save for a pic of my accutron, from the first year of production (1960), an asymetrical with 14k inlay:

I still dig this watch. Look forward to seeing where this subforum goes...

I had a lot of vintage dress watches at one time but they are all gone except my grandfathers. Starting to become very interested in vintage divers!
