Some neo-vintage watches

Loving that kind of watches more and more.

top: Roger dubuis white gold chronograph monopusher
from left to right
pink gold, black dial Parmigiani chronograph
Svend Andersen yellow gold, cream dial worldtimer chronograph
Parmigiani red gold black dial 8 days
Parmigiani platinum silver dial 8 days
Svend Andersen yellow gold, Bordeaux dial worldtimer chronograph

All made between 1990 and early 2000.

For me much more fun to hunt these rare special pieces then begging your AD to get another Rolex, Patek, AP that half the world is wearing


I love all of them but do you have a favorite in this box ? :-)

I love the RD, big time respect... and best imho. Yet my heart wants the red gold 8 day. The case is the decider.

So the Dubuis seems to be the favorite.
Like said very hard to choose but I might take the Svend Andersen with beige dial.
So cool and without doubt the most unknown and underrated brand
While the man himself is probably one of the most important independents ever :-)
