Your vintage watch collection is quite impressive from what I can see, very classy indeed! My Grandfather colected Vintage Pocket watches although I know little about them, they looked so intricate in design and very classy as well! Cool hobby my friend!
Thanks! I used to buy them cheap on eBay and bring them back to life and resell them. I have a friend who collects pocket watches! I stopped collecting because it became almost like an addition to find that next "grail" piece. Some of the other active collectors I was on message boards with collectors who had hundreds of timepieces and their entire lives revolved around their collecting. I'm so glad I stepped away from active collecting. I only have a few watches left and there one's I'll never sell....a 1918 Elgin Trench watch, a 1938 Hamilton Rutledge, a 1960's Benrus, and my trusty Seiko diver are about all I have left.
Thanks for your awesome reply back! Those sound like beauties that any one would love to hold on to being a collector or not! Your so right though, it can be very addicting lol! Nice to see you held onto your favorites. I think my uncle got my Grandfathers Collection after he passed away, who knows maybe he's addicted now, Lol!!⌚⌚⌚😂
