Still searching...

Still searching for the perfect vintage Rolex. Preferably an Air-King from the 1960s. Somehow, the new one just doesn't cut it. I guess they don't make 'em like they used to.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Air-King

Truth be told, I am not a big fan of Rolex watches. But once in a while, there will be something unexpected that will make you change your mind. Such is the case with the vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual Air-King. Its understated elegance, classic details and refined look make it such an irresistible timepiece. I'll be on the lookout for this.

If anyone knows a website that sells quality vintage watches, kindly point me to the right direction.

Vintage Omega

Watches have always fascinated me, even at a very young age. Case in point, this vintage Omega watch that I bought when I was in the fifth or sixth grade. I unearthed it at an antique expedition (aka my mom shopping for antiques) and the price was just right for an automatic Omega. Not too cheap, not too expensive, and most importantly, I had enough money to pay for it.

I had it authenticated later on and turns out it's the real deal and I found out it's from the 1950's. After wearing it for a very limited number of times, I decided to change the bracelet to a leather strap last month when I went home to Manila.
