FTW! This is the Sh*t! :thumbsup:

They are not vintagized with old look, because I prefer the new look, but they are watches from 80's or older.

Donerix, you always steal the show my friend

Here is a 5512 project that is almost complete.

Donerix - As always, outstanding vintage collection
Deadbear - 5512 coming along nicely, though I'd post it's twin...

Nice one rol man. Where did you get the case?

Wow, what a thread!! It has got me salivating. :lol: Some of you guys have some seriously gorgeous and unique pieces there!

I have been a huge fan of vintage watches for years. The great thing about gen vintage watches in particular is that they can be very affordable and yet really wonderful pieces. I have quite a few of them, some going back to when I was a kid. I have been pretty good at keeping them over the years. I will show more of the collection as soon as I have time to take some shots, but in the meantime here are some of my favourites:

From left to right:

Heuer Autavia GMT Manual - Probably the most beautiful watch ever made. The photo doesn't give it credit. I can't wear it for 5 minutes without looking at it!

Tudor Monte Carlo - Everyone knows this one... This is the 7169/0 version with the Valjoux Cal.234.

Another Tudor (but rep) - The homeplate version of the Monte, a usual suspect on the forum and I highly recommend the ones made by Domi.

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

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

Heuer Autavia 11630 - This is the white dial version. Possibly the most difficult Autavia to find, even more so than the Sifferts. This one will soon undergo a restoration to get it back to its original glory.

Nice Rooster, those are some beautiful timepieces! :thumbsup:

 

[LHOOQ]

Holy crap, rooster! I love all of those watches! I've never even seen that white Autavia before!

Hey mate, I know you're a vintage watch lover like myself! Hey have a look here: http://www.heuerautavia.com/00000099190794c03/000000991907bdc1b/index.html
Scroll towards the bottom. There's a silver and white dial version of the Autavia. While the white one is very rare, both are just gorgeous.

Thanks for the link. I actually ended up there about a minute after seeing your post. Then I was off to OnTheDash, which has good pics of a very clean example. The straight-brush finish of the dial is gorgeous.

I love the blue sweep of the Siffert, but those orange hands and minute-register highlights are really something else. I think it's the best mid- to late-70s Heuer I've ever seen. Admittedly, some of their designs and color combos were pretty weird during the disco years.

I'm not even going to start on your GMT and your Rolex family. Awesome collection!
