when you start collecting vintage buckles as an excuse to add the matching watches later...πŸ™ˆπŸ˜…



Some doctors may call it a serious mental condition but hey - that is how vintage watch collecting works, no cure through therapy, only through steady new acquisitions!πŸ˜‰

I’m looking for a gold one 1950’s And a steel 1930’s

Although a Tri-Compax and Nina Rindt would be on top of my UG Chronograph list, but at the moment I am more looking for another Polerouter. I have fallen in love with Polerouters so bad now! The prices have picked up a lot in the last years unfortunately,... 

My Wenger 14mm buckle says hi.

is not very big, so I would not dare to find a period-correct 18 kt buckle for a 1966 model - I believe you that they are very hard to find. I am looking for a pair of H.C. bracelet Endlinks for a Polerouter 869119 myself - absolutely impossible to find a...
