With all of the modern technoligies available to companies in this modern age, I sometimes only so impressed with some of the watches being produced. From Aesthetics to mechanical ingenuity, computer do a lot of the work.

I really appreciate the simplicty of many vintage pieces.

Here is one of my favorites within my personal collection.

A late 1940's to early 1950's Wittnauer Triple Date Calendar.

I know, it is only a Wittnauer, but a very difficault one to find and at only 36mm I still feel comfortable throwing it on my 7.5" wrist.

What's your favorite?

Is it inappropriate to ask(with courtesy, of course) for discounts at Cartier boutiques? I’m potentially interested in a De Santos down the line; I’ve come across some conflicting information on this and wanted to make sure that I follow proper etiquette and not make an unnecessary bad impression if I can help it.

Does anyone have experience dealing with MT timepieces that advertise on Chrono Grabs? Are they a trusted reliable dealer? Gerry11

Are there any generally accepted conventions when negotiating with a dealer for a vintage watch? Is it always worth seeing the dealer will take less than asking price, or is that bad form if review of comps suggests the asking price is fair?

Is this a fair price for a Rolex Date Just 41 Wimbledon? The watch is two tone gold, oyster bracelet, fluted bezel, and the manufacturer's warranty runs to the end of December 2028, Thanks Gerry
