Use to scour this website a lot in the late 2000's, only ever bought a vintage Fortis chrono which turned out to have a brass plated crown and I bought a vintage Glycine from a dealer in Houston who specialized in WWI trench watches:
Nice watch...
Two questions :-Use to scour this website a lot in the late 2000's, only ever bought a vintage Fortis chrono which turned out to have a brass plated crown and I bought a vintage Glycine from a dealer in Houston who specialized in WWI trench watches:

There was a seriously good watch dealer in Los Angeles. Use to specialise in reconditioning vintage watches and making them mint and removing the radioactive dials and such. Can't remember the name now. Quite expensive and the good stuff use to sell double quick. Can't remember the name now. The website was top professional too.
I don't know, you take a risk don't you? Based on my vintage Fortis and Glycine experience the build quality of the vinatge watches are significantly below modern standards. As you probably would expect. The higher end watches may well be different. I do like heritage pieces though, but I will only do reeditions.Two questions :-
1. How come they have so much NOS? Some of it from the 1940s.
2. Regarding 1. above, are their claims genuine? No papers, no box, no guarantees etc.
So as an addendum to this, Chrono24 valued my used Overseas at 44k. That's insane.

Welcome to every market currently.Unfortunately everything has gone up too
Suddenly the deal I could have got on one in 2016 for $27k AUD looks like a steel [sic].So as an addendum to this, Chrono24 valued my used Overseas at 44k. That's insane.
Unfortunately everything has gone up too
Don’t think everything has gone up and that it’s a „market“ problem. If you look at the price of watches in terms of cars or real estate, or pretty much all real assets, prices have staid the same, more or less. It’s currencies that have gone down.Welcome to every market currently.
The moneys in sellling now and rebuying after the collapse.
A watch a talking point?I don't know, you take a risk don't you? Based on my vintage Fortis and Glycine experience the build quality of the vinatge watches are significantly below modern standards.

A dress watch like Rambo has bought is the way to go for the older stuff. You wear for an event or dinner party and then put it away, until the next time. A good talking piece if it gets a bit boring.
It's more interesting than learning about how much money everyone's made on their houses.A watch a talking point?
FFS don’t invite me to one of your dinner parties.

They're building up a brand and reputation quite well. Hopefully they won't be bought out. They seem to be going for steady growth with a very distinctinctive style and the select use of bold colours.They make some interesting stuff.
There's defo a 60s/70s vibe going on with watches at ze momento, 'specially chronos.They're building up a brand and reputation quite well. Hopefully they won't be bought out. They seem to be going for steady growth with a very distinctinctive style and the select use of bold colours.
And it's quite discerning, those Tissot 1973 Chronos are serious business.There's defo a 60s/70s vibe going on with watches at ze momento, 'specially chronos.
I gorra fuckin tell ya... I approve...
Bullheads making a comeback too...And it's quite discerning, those Tissot 1973 Chronos are serious business.
You see someone wearing one of those, despite the pecking order in the Swatch Group, you know they've bought for the 70s sporty chrono vibe and not for the price either way.
The Veblan effect falls silent. It's just good shit.
Deal.FFS don’t invite me to one of your dinner parties.
