Vintage women watches

[Austin]

Gents, some of you know that I collect vintage watches. I also collect vintage women watches. When I come across something interesting, I will usually purchase it.

I recently purchased these two interesting watches. The first one is a Tissot Turler windup. It is vintage 50's-60's. During this era, Omega was providing mechanical movements for Tissot. Turler is an upscale jewelry shop in Switzerland that contracted with Tissot and other watchmakers to provide watches for their stores.

The second one is Bucherer windup from the same era. During this time period, Rolex provided watches that were rebranded for this company. Bucherer is another upscale jewelry store in Switzerland.

These are real cool watches with a pedigree history.

By today's standards, these are small watches. The Tissot Turler only measures 16mm. The Bucherer measures 26mm.

That's a nice vintage watch. Does your wife wear them or do you just collect?

I don't have a wife. My last girlfriend had quite a collection.

Ouch!

Was it worth it? I mean, it could be worse. Watches for freedom? I traded an ice cream three-piece suit and my first straight razor to escape from my first marriage. In the stuff vs freedom contest, freedom wins (for me).

It's all good. You can't put a price on love.

I got that T-shirt, too.

Very nice collection! I've picked up a few over the years, as well. I think the Eterna-Matic Kontiki and their "Golden Heart" with the 23k rotor are very nice - I've picked up a Kontiki and will grab a Golden Heart when a good one turns up.

Very nice, Austin.

Wish the ball and chain would wear something like that. She's a quartz gal, likes to grab and go.

Nice watches, Andrew! These are both high quality watches and I don't collect women's watches so let me ask you; Do vintage women's watches hold their value as well as vintage men's watches?

Value is variable with the brand. The higher end watches do keep their value better than the lower end watches. The same as mens watches. Rolex watches only vary by a few hundred dollars.
