There are many great reasons to buy a vintage watch. Every watch has its own story. Over the years, with every scratch, dent and aging of the dial and case, they have become unique timepieces of their own. These watches you are looking at now, once brought a lot of joy to their first owner with the purchase years ago. And now many years later this vintage watches will continue to bring the same joy to my life.
Every year, I shall do a summary of the watches that I have traded away plus those newly acquired. For the year 2024, it has been an interesting journey and eventful years where I reinforced my Rolex Bubbleback series; finetuned my Non Rolex watches plus managed to build a small unique collections of Vacheron & Constantin watches & Mainland Chinese watches & also vintage chronograph watches.
For 2025, I shall definitely slow down the growth of number of watches. Instead, I shall continue to focus on my core collections.
The Rolex 1016 has been fully restored with an new old stock dial.
