I cut my teeth on vintage watches and still love them, although I have exercised iron will to prevent me from simply accumulating pieces I like. Now I buy for uniqueness and condition, but here are some early pieces I've owned and loved over the years:

...this one had its original PAPERS. Never should have sold it:

I'll agree with your "never should have sold it" thought. Wow, original papers????

What great watches! Those coral gold Hammies are something!

I'm glad you shared them. I could post a few like that, which I enjoyed but parted with nonetheless. But I could do without the melancholy afterglow.

That Seamaster Calendar on bracelet is lovely, and I also had a vintage SM 300, but the non-date version without papers.

Please feel free to join in at will here...and spread the word that we have a new location for discussion of the vintage pieces we love so dearly.

Very nice pieces there, David. I'm a long-time Omega fan, and that Hammy is a beauty as well.

You sold me the Hamilton Ross. Unfortunately, the last time it was at a watchmakers it got LOST! Also the last time I used that guy. Beautiful watch even if a bit small.
