Tudor Snowflake - Another stunner. Probably the second sexiest vintage watch after the GMT in my book!

Rolex Submariner 1680 - Well, classic and timeless beauty... :)

That's the way to go for the flakes and 1680. You don't need to break and scratch them down too much. There are existing gens that still look clean.

Great looking watches indeed!

Couldn't agree more! It did take me a fair bit of time to find them that clean, but there's plenty of them out there - some people have great care for their watches, especially those who keep them in a safe for 20 years! :lol: Anyway, that's proof that we tend to over-vintagize reps sometimes... No need for that at all. Have a look at this 40 year old baby. No signs of wrinkles or bags under her eyes!

All beautiful. This is my favorite thread on this board.
And I might have to get out my camera.

My vintage... Tudor Chronograph. Late 70's early 80's I'm guessing...

This is my first attempt at a vintage look. Learned a lot on this one, already planning on a 1680 build next.

@Rooster, don't try to post one of those in the sales section. You'll be sorry... :pirates:

(then again I might snatch it).

Ha ha, I probably won't, though you never know... Actually, that group contains only one rep, and thats the only one that I've in fact considered selling before... Then I changed my mind... But I might change it again... It's the Tudor at 12 o'clock, by the way. :)
