Too hard to find and most likely too expensive for me sir. Thanks for the suggestions.

Are there vintage spring drive watches sir?

No there are no vintage Spring Drives, but you can get a nice vintage (mid 1960s) 5722-9990/1 like this for less than $2k. Would be good with your other two vintage GS there.

You need a dive watch. An SBGA231 OR 229.

Any particular reason you chose the Eichi rose gold vs. platinum?
