ABOUT
Hello, fellow watch enthusiasts, and welcome to my website. My name is Josh, and I buy and sell vintage watches produced from the '90s and earlier. My passion for watches began when I was child. My father wore the same Details Watch Co. watch every single day from the time I can remember to the time he passed away. Although that watch isn't worth anything by anyone's standards, I love that watch because he loved that watch. After he passed, I wore that watch throughout my college years as a way to keep him close to me (and to remind me to get to class). It incited my desire to buy some of my own watches over the years until after I graduated from college with a degree in Actuarial Science. I started working and making a livable wage, and that's when I was introduced to the world of vintage watches. As a lover of antiques and a lover of watches, vintage watches were the perfect fit for me. Below are some of my favorite pieces from my personal collection that hooked me with their iconic design elements and vibrant histories.

Here on my site, you will discover watches that will bring you back in time from the likes of Omega, Jaeger LeCoultre, and even Poljot. My aim is to provide an approachable collection of vintage mechanical watches with unique qualities that will spark conversation. Whether you are a beginner collector or a seasoned curator, with these pieces on your wrist, you'll never get tired of checking the time.
FAVORITES FROM MY COLLECTION
My first vintage watch. This is the one that started it all for me. A 1970s Omega Geneve Day/Date with a wild starry-like patina on its original midnight blue dial. Everything about this is beautiful to me. I got rid of this once and then bought it back because it was messing with my heart so much. Now, I don't think its going anywhere for a long time.
Wait...NO...is that a Paul Newman?? Haha, nope. Gotcha ya though! It's a Gevril Tribeca. I know, I know...copycat watches are the worst. But this one is different. Praised by Rolex collectors such as Eric Ku, John Mayer, and Wei Koh as being quite an incredible watch. And even though I'm nowhere near those guys' reputation, I must say that I definitely agree with them.
A classic. I bought this one from the man who bought it in Vietnam in 1966 and then wore it throughout the remainder of the Vietnam War. Since then, he had the hands and markers relumed, the crown and crystal replaced, and even the bezel locked. Therefore, this is essentially worthless to a collector. But guess what? I don't care. I love this watch to death and I love that it's mine.
