How to choose the right Vintage Watch
When choosing the right vintage watch for your collection, there are several important factors to consider. Here are some key tips to help you make an informed decision:
1. Understand What "Vintage" Means
A vintage watch is generally considered to be any timepiece older than 25 years
2. Authenticity and Originality
Prioritize watches that have retained all original parts, meaning that everything on the timepiece came directly from the brand’s factory at the time it was manufactured. This contributes to the authenticity and value of the watch.
