Where do you buy vintage watches?
Hoz your weekend treating you?

Thoughts on a Omega De Ville Prestige as a first luxury watch? Would be ~$7.5K USD at retail. Some friends have said great things about Omega as a starter, whereas others say it’s not worth it over a Rolex Oyster Perpetual (which would be similar in cost).
I personally love how clean the design is, the use of gold, and the thinner band as it links the watch … find the Rolex band design to be too chunky.

Don’t listen to too much about “what you should chase.” Yes, Calatrava has gotten a lot more popularity in the recent years due to after market trades. However as a dress watch, nothing can beat a PP Calatrava or a Cartier Tank Louis. Movements and craftsmanship do matter over random internet frenzy of what you should get. That said, if you like the watch, go for it.
I am personally looking to get a PP Golden Ellipse (after market) after many years of sourcing and buying “luxury” watches for myself. I absolutely can’t wait to get my hands on the Ellipse.
Calatrava isn’t usually very sought after. Many buy to build a relationship to start working toward a Nautilus or Aquanaut.
If you like it though, then I guess it’s worth it if you can afford it? Not sure your question.
Waiting almost 2 years to get while price jumped from 29k to 40k in that time frame.

Calatravas are almost 100 years old, I bet you can find a vintage one for a good price.
