I bought this little Geneva in a pretty pitiful state, after a quick visit to my watchmaker for a complete overhaul and a little bracelet polishing it came back to life. I find its blue dial super cool, it's a very pleasant watch to wear, the size is perfect for me with its 70's look with its integrated bracelet I love it and it can be worn on all occasions.

Reissue of Neil Armstrong's watch from the time he was a test pilot, a very vintage skin diver style look with its transformed myiota mechanical caliber, it has all the arguments to make it attractive, American brand but made in France, it sits perfectly on the wrist, in short I absolutely do not regret my choice.

My 5th gruen and surely not the last 😉 I came across it a bit by chance, on an ad after a little negotiation with the seller, I received this pretty little 3-hand watch caliber 415 rss in 34mm steel case sunray dial. It arrived in fantastic condition and I absolutely do not regret this purchase, I sent a small lizard green strap that suits it rather well. Looking forward to the next one, I'm aiming for a small air flight 😉😉

I have wanted a Russian watch in my collection for a long time and it is done with this Vostok Amphibian Scuba, bought second-hand but like new for a very small price I find that this watch has a lot of arguments like a water resistance to 20 atm an automatic caliber and a domed plexi which gives it an ultra cool look, for the moment I am very happy with it there is a chance that it will not be the last 😉

My Cold War Diver

The watch that also went to the moon 😉 the last watch I bought and honestly zero regrets !!! I was afraid because of its size of 45mm, I who am used to wearing much more contained watches, but its fairly small horns make it sit perfectly on my wrist, its high-performance Quartz caliber of + or - 10 seconds per year is absolutely incredible as is the history of this watch with its lunar anecdote 😉 a big resemblance to the Omega moon watch but which keeps its own identity with its very original pushers and its sapphire crystal which protrudes from the box. If you want a moonwatch with a very cool and accessible story, don't hesitate, it's the perfect watch 👍

Bulova lunar pilot

Small alternative to the famous submariner, I bought this pretty diver from the 80s/90s which was in bad condition, after a complete change of caliber and a new plexi I find it perfect for every day. It is patinated just the right amount and it is so comfortable on the wrist that I often forget that I am wearing it, in short I love this watch 😉

My first vintage Omega and surely not the last!! This watch is so cool with its super patinated cream dial and its steel case, it is my first vintage Omega and it lives a lot on my wrist because in addition to being sublime it is super comfortable to wear what I love about this watch except obviously this caliber 283, it is its omega logo in gold-colored applique which recalls its gold hands too!

Omega 60s caliber 283

One of my favorite watches!!! This Zenith Sporto Date mechanical has been completely revised by a friend who is a future great watchmaker 😉its case has also been re-plated according to the rules of the art by the latter. With its 70's barrel case and its small diameter, it has a sporty chic side that I love.

The ultimate chic sports watch 😉

Small dress watch from the Certina brand with its small second and its 28-10 manufacture caliber from the 50s/60s, small diameter of 34 mm, I love this watch, so elegant and quite thin, it is in fantastic condition given its age, just the plexiglass has been changed to allow you to see this sublime slightly ivory dial, I hope the photos will show it off because in real life it is magnificent!!!!

A very pretty dresswatch!!

I bought this watch second-hand on a whim because I found the look very nice for less than 80 euros (yes I didn't take too many risks) in new condition and what a surprise when I opened the package the blue of the sunny dial is very pretty and the proportions of this watch are perfect for my wrist in short I do not regret this purchase at all even if it is a watch that I rarely wear it is always a pleasure to put it on the wrist, Japanese quartz inside so a more than satisfactory quality-price ratio 👍

Bulova quartz day date 

A real 70's look this Tissot which is in clinical condition!!! Automatic and with a magnificent monobloc case. One of the prettiest in my vintage collection, super pleasant to wear with its jubilee which suits it wonderfully, moreover it is my only watch where I have never tried another strap so much it suits it wonderfully 😉😉I hope you will like it as much as I do but I have no doubts about it 😂

Tissot Seastar visiodate automatic seastar seven 70's

This pretty Telda is almost 70 years old and it hasn't aged a day!! I bought this chronograph without knowing the old calibers but the passionate seller who has become a true friend since then advised me very well, it is the watch that made me love vintages and today it is one of my favorite watches, inside we have a completely revised Venus 188 caliber the plexi has been changed and the case plated in gold. In short, I never tire of contemplating its mechanism which has recently been visible without opening it thanks to a plexi box back installed precisely by this friend. If I had to give it a single adjective it would be "timeless" 😉😉

Gruen Precision caliber 510, first edition between 1950/60. 34mm gold plated case and 17 jewels hand wound movement. The lug width for the bracelet is 17mm. A rather rare and legendary watch, the Gruen Precision 510 is well known for being the first James Bond watch on Sir Sean Connery's wrist in DR NO. My version of the 510 is without numbers with a brass dial. Very elegant watch to have in a collection.

My Gruen Precision 510 is... Bondesque

Very satisfied with this vintage watch circa 1965. 34 mm monobloc case. Movement with 17 jewel incabloc and central seconds. 17 mm bracelet lug. Watch not to be confused with the 510 sub-second at 6:00 which is James Bond's first watch. A brand that is recommended in a collection.

Gruen 510RSS

This gruen is astonishing as it gets! Firstly, because of its history, which has continued to grow stronger year after year, but also because of its simple but effective look. 2 hands and a small second, the norm at that time, however, this brand was not the top of the range at the time, very few are in superb condition. I am lucky enough to own one (which arrived with its original box from the time). It is most often worn with a dressy outfit because it is mainly worn on leather.
