Good Day:
I imagine it is the same motivation that makes people collect stamps, old letters, graveyard rubbings, or, dare I say it, razors, brushes, mugs . . .
(Not that anybody here is guilty of that . . .)

I think that the watch community is one in which collectors "rotate stock."
It seems as though some of the guys here buy watches, fix them, wear them for a while and then sell them in order to get something else that's catching their eye at the moment.

Something sturdy . . .
Seems to me that you have a very nice fedora collection! You appear to be a collector at heart and what you are really doing is trying to see if you really want to start a watch collection.
Right?
Nice. I have never seen a Panerai on a bracelet before. Did it come like that?
Vintage helbros today!

What a beauty, Rich. Is that about a '65?

Thank you Sir! I say that is a pretty good guess. With the Helbros badge changing hands so many times, it is very hard to research serial numbers.

That's about the size of watch I wish I could have. Today's watches are too big for me.

John, I agree with you, that is one of the reasons that I collect vintage watches. This watch is 36mm excluding the crown. Today, It would be hard to find a watch (even so called uni-sex watches) that is smaller than 38mm. However, I am not completely set against the larger modern watches. They seem more sporty while the smaller watches seem more refined.
Vietnam War production Ollech & Wajs MP broadarrow in A. Schild 2063. 6 beats per second. I have a thing for military watches in various movements, and this is one of my most accurate. The lume is long-dead, and the crystal and case have seen better days, but I love taking it out for a spin from time to time.

That one is beauty! Thank you for sharing.
Wearing this one today...
That one is a keeper. In my opinion, what makes this watch so beautiful is that leather band. You can tell it has been well loved and the watch has given years of performance, all of which is a good thing
