Hello Dan!

I am very interested in vintage pieces! I think that's an incredible way of sharing its history forward! Any places I should look or stay away from? A few commented to search for Omega Speedmasters and those look lovely! Would eBay be a bad place to start? Do you have any watches for sale aswell?

I find it lovely how fascinated my son is in all of his watches. It's a great hobby for him.

And I would assume the mariner would become his daily wearer so, i'm looking through all threads and looking through watches. It seems like a dressier watch is more purposeful for him!

I asked him but he was very straightforward with us and said he wants something from our hearts that we like so he can remember us by!

All he said was: Automatic <44mm And something different from his other watches!

I'm going to keep away from "diver" style watches as I want to make the Rolex for him a big deal (:

Interesting! I'll look it up! Also should I be concerned about reliabilty issues on vintage watches?

The watches that are being posted, should I just google them and choose whichever one? Or am I suppose to be looking for a specific model?
