What’s the oldest watch you have? And why?
I sold a variety of Swiss and non-swiss brands for a long time when I worked as a jeweller. At the same time, I developed an interest in antique jewellery and watches.
So whether is cheap or expensive, working or not, 5 years old or 100+ years old, what’s the oldest watch you own? Is it a sentimental piece or something you purchased because of its model?
Just hoping to find out about some more different watches out there!
1969 and 1970 seiko. Relatively cheap to pick up quite contemporary looking models - especially the Lord Matic ranges.
Condition of mine is very good for the age and they run well. I purchased both of them having being serviced in the recent past.

Love mine just recently got it
Same. I have a Lord Matic and a Lord Marvel. Beautiful and timeless. The LordMatic needs a quickset date lever as a lot of them in this range do but besides that it runs like a sewing machine.
