i have question.
i got the impression that, in the vintage watches industry,
un-retouched, un-polished items attract more attention than the so-called mildly-polished ones.
is this true?
Hi Doc.
As long as it gets proper service/maintenance, they perform accurately, like a new watch naman po.
And it’s true that a watch has higher value if it’all OG - all parts are as manufactured and if the dial is unretouched and case is unpolished. I have a Tudor Submariner I got from Japan for example that I got for a lower price than it would have sold because they replaced the tritium and applied new lume to the hands.



The dial is unretouched and still retains the Tritium but the hands have been relumed. This could have sold at 2x the value if the hands were not re-lumed. I don’t mind naman so I still got it. The lume is helpful at night. Besides, i like the small case size of 36mm vs 40mm for the Rolex Submariner. And I like the understated elegance of this Submariner. Sabi nga nila sa ad nila years ago:
‘ (Tudor is for) the man whose purse may be modest, yet whose aspirations are high.’
