It's heartwarming to know that you remember me. I did finally finish buying though after last year...I now have all the watches I've ever wanted.

There might be one or two on the market from the earlier eras.

Definitely get it serviced if you plan to wind it up and use it. You've got nothing to lose if you trust your watchmaker, and quite frankly as time goes on, parts always become more difficult to find for older watches. Sooner is better than later if you plan to have it for a long time. I wouldn't touch the outside, but that's just me.

The general design can be found in Illinois pocket watches, as well as Hamilton. Railway watches had several different dial design 'approaches', so just look on Chrono24 for pocket watches from those two brands. Waltham occasionally did that dial design, but not as often as other fonts and markers.

In addition to the great points by other Anons, I'd say there is more turnover as well; it's quite easy to get a new Omega as long as it isn't a Snoopy, 321 reissue, or Ultra Deep. With Rolex, there's simply lots of complaints about whether or not to 'favor' an AD to get a watch. Also; MoonSwatch has positively impacted the buying of Speedies, so there's more interest as well.

If you're talking about Tag Heuer style, I'm not sure. It usually takes 30 years for fashion to come back, and although the nostalgia is there, it's there in people who were too young to own these things at that time. Perhaps the nostalgia will come back in another 30.

They do, because being 'individual' only works in context to others. Also; it's tough to research for unique original pieces that are aesthetically pleasing, mechanically sound, but also affordable. So, the path of least resistance is to have a watch by a trusted brand but in a design combo that is unusual or not seen often.

I'm wearing this lovely thing.
