Hello Bruce,
thank you for your pecious reply.
My interest for the digitals watches is new after 20 years to collect mechanical watches.
This year, it's the year of my 40 years old and I decide to stop to collect vinatges mechanicals watches and I sold all of my mechanicals watches.
The reason is simple, I'm interesting about the technique and the history side of whatchmaking and I'm very sad about the evolution of this.
Now the prices of mechanicals watches are crazy and for an vulgar watch with generic movement ETA or Selita the price is over 500USD just because machanicals watches are tradition, luxury, bla bla bla..just an marketing argument....
with the digital watches, it's still possible to have fun without breaking the bank
(not with HP-01, Pulsar Calculator gold or P1
)
And I'm just laughing when Rolex's amators said : " well, the prices of vintages Rolex watches are expensive because vintage Rolex is rare"
When you think the famous Submariner 5513 was products during 22 years and it's the best seller of the trade, maybe Rolex producted between 1 or 2 millions 5513 models and it's rare
When you think just 500.000 Pulsar watches was producted in 5 years all models combined, I'm laughing
