As noted in my previous article about buying pre-owned watches, the market for truly "vintage" watches is something quite different from that for relatively young "pre-owned" watches. Any watch made before 1990 could be considered vintage, although some collectors put the maximum year of "vintage" at 1980 or even earlier. I\'d like to use 1990

While I put the finishing touches on a trade post that I don\'t want to rush, today you get to experience my inability to stay focused in the form of a quarter box quartet. As is generally the case, all of these came from the miscellaneous quarter bins at my local card shop. Pretty timely [...]
