A few vintage pieces pop up on the daily wrist check thread, but thought it would be good to have them all in one thread here - especially those you may have 'stashed' away.  So let's see 'em...

I'll start off - the only vintage watches I have so far are my Russians:




Upper left - Signal, mechanical alarm, all original parts - early 1960's
Lower left - Shturmanskie, restored dial - mid 1950's
Right - Vostok Amphibian Radio Room operator, all original parts, NOS - late 1980's (?)

While there are a couple of Rolex and a Brietling that were bought some years ago...they are still current models, my only true vintage is my circa 1964, original Glycine Airman!

OK...you asked for it!

Here are the ones I still own and wear regularly (mostly to the office):

1955 Omega Seamaster...




 

1970 Accutron "Railroad Approved" with Cal. 218-1 tuning fork movement...


 



 

1947 Hamilton "Gordon" in solid 18K gold...


 



 

1950s Swiss Titus Geneve in solid 18K gold...





 

1949 Hamilton "Barton" in solid 14K gold...





 

1966 Caravelle diver...

 

And here are a couple recent ones I've since sold:

1976 Heuer "Daytona"...


 

1940s Gruen Curvex...





 

I also have eSnipe bids registered to trigger at -6 seconds later today on two solid 14K American classics: a Bulova and a Lord Elgin.

I have a few, a 1964 Bulova Accutron chapter ring Spaceview, 1974 cal. 214 Accutron Railroad Approved, 1975 Seiko 6105, 1981 Seiko 6309, 70's Citizen and Seiko Bullhead chronos, 1989 Vostok Radio Room (3 of them :D), 70's Orient King Diver that needs a movement, 70's Seiko 6139 "helmet" chrono that needs movement work, and a 60's Vostok Precision/Volna that is supposedly a "frankenwatch" with a redial but it looks and runs great so that is all I care about!
I would love to snag more Accutrons, specifically a Deep Sea and an Astronaut but only in fully restored condition.  The Spaceview cost a fortune for restoration and took 5 months.

The nicest is the RR Approved, awesome watch with an original Champion bracelet and on the wrist it runs <1 sec per day.

Cheers,
Griff

There was just a bunch of Deep Seas on the Bay last week, I missed out on the best of the lot though. It had some dings in the base of the case and a small scratch on the bezel but looked pretty good otherwise and had supposedly been serviced. It went for 250...:shock:
The rest have been way too high (350 on up) for their condition so I took a pass. I'd like to snag one on a bracelet rather than strap if I can.
Most of the Astronauts I see are WAY too high for condition, none of them on a bracelet. Back to fishing... :D
