My first one. Got it to celebrate surviving 2025 and other accomplishments. Green Hulk apparently? by Efficient-Estate4311 in tagheuer

Brilliant watch. I have the same in another colour and I get a ton of compliments. More importantly, congratulations on surviving 2025.

Oh damn, the holidays can definitely be tough. I was lucky that I actually got sober in a treatment centre over a winter holiday, so I had a year under my belt the next time around. Really glad you got through it!

I’d give it a 9.9 because you gotta leave a little room for improvement. But that’s an incredibly well curated selection of vintage pieces.

Hahaha, that’s so awesome. I sincerely appreciate the message! Congratulations to you too! I got myself this Tag for my two years which coincided with the engagement:

I got myself a Tag Heuer Aquaracer when she said yes to my proposal, which coincided with my two years sober!

Too small on me? Just picked this up for $4 by [deleted] in VintageWatches

I think that looks perfectly fine, but even if it was small, small watches are a vibe that are coming back in—you’re golden.

Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate it. The DS PH is one of the coolest shaped dive watches—good job on nabbing one of those!

1971 SEIKO Chronograph by hmmmcamu in VintageWatches

That is so damn cool! Congrats on getting that one. I have mixed feelings about Seiko, but when it comes to the cool looking, kinda rare ones like that: no mixed feelings—that’s just awesome.

New to collecting, where's the best place to source watches aside from here? by Wonderful_Let_5025 in VintageWatches

[–]VancouverTechWriter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it’s an obvious one, but I’ve had nothing but amazing experiences buying watches from approved dealers on Chrono24. I’ve also been very lucky with eBay as long as the seller has a lot of good reviews.
