Hi John; It'd be great to indulge expensive tastes in vintage watches. I'm beginning to enter geezerhood. Most of my watch menagerie was acquired between the early 1980s and the early days of Ebay, when "real deals" could be found at pawn shops, antique stores, flea markets, garage sales, and gun shows; a time when gold was $265 per ounce and vintage watches were mostly just old watches. Now folks empty their drawers of a lot of bottom-of-the-barrel stuff, but tack high prices on it as if it was desireable. Then there are the shysters, hawking redials as original, franken-watches, and outright fakes. Hah! I've even collected some of those through the years and yet have a few here at "The Home For Wayward Watches."
