I’ve been collecting watches for the last 8 months. I have around 40 watches, and here are 16 of them. My favourites among them are the 1970 Datejust and the 1969 Universal Polerouter. I’m quite a thrifty guy, so besides a few splurges, most of them are below $200. I like vintage watches and tinker with them as a hobby. What other watches should I look out for?

First time that I see same dial online, though this ones case is gilded. This is my late grandfathers watch he got in I believe 1968.
Nice one, what movement is inside? Mine’s their in-house Cal 830

831, you can see it on top here. Looks whole different.
Nice I’ve just sold a Helvetia with the 831 movement. It’s an in-house movement as well, one of the last from Helvetia before they switched over to ETA
