    Default Vintage Section

    Has there been any thought about a vintage section? The whole art of aging watches, getting the right crystal for a Rolex Comex Sub, getting a nice worn vintage strap for a vintage PAM...what do you guys think?

    LOL, thanks buddy!

    I just think it would be cool to have a section where Spartans talk about what they did to make a repilca vintage look really old, like my Comex Sub....

    bah, a vintage section would have vintage watches, a vintaging section would discuss how to vintage..

    There are a number of members who are into the art of modding/vintagizing watches of all brands, and members who need opinions on buying a vintage rep - e.g. MBW's, etc.

    Some members (I think it was Frogman?) who have created some cool tutorials on aging dials, etc.

    And a vintage Trade category would be fun. Chris V. could try to buy watches for Vintage GeekBux........

    I would be interested in a vintage section, or at least learning more about vintage style reps, more so than the process of vintagizing reps, but it would be interesting nonetheless.
    NEW WANTED LIST:

    PAM 359 DLC/PVD

    PAM 087 - looking for 3 years now...

    I need 2 links to the new style PAM bracelet - Please PM me if you can spare one or two.

    I think both topics would work though - vintage reps and the aging/vintagizing them.

    There's also some talented modders who could contribute to it as well.

    James - somehow I knew you would be into this, considering some of the vintage Rollies and PAMs I've seen you put up on RG
