About this book
Vintage Rolex watches, which have become a global investment target and seen a surge in market prices, are attracting attention to the entire vintage watch market, and this trend extends beyond Rolex to other brands. Despite being minor brands with popular details, some watches are available at very affordable prices.
Furthermore, in recent years, the concept of "aging" has permeated the vintage watch world. In other words, changes such as discoloration of the dial or luminescence over time are appreciated as unique characteristics seen only on originals. This book compiles essential knowledge that one should know when purchasing such vintage watches. The fascination of vintage watches is captured here.
