Vintage 1984 DateJust in quite rough shape

I had this in my possession for a few days and almost fell in love with it. The bracelet stretch is quite heavy though.



Here is more pictures and a nice story of this watch

These vintages and their "wear and tear" have some kind of strange appeal. What do you think?

Really beautiful watch. The bracelet can be rebuilt to virtually new by a company in Hong Kong. I don't remember the name, but someone here will know. The watch can be serviced and polished to like new here in the US.

I think they are incredible my friend!

In my opinion, you can’t beat the feel of a vintage watch.

Here is one from my collection : )

Doesn't look that bad on a 18.5 cm wrist, either.
