vintage is not easy but hope you can find what you like. Authentication and servicing would be main issues

I would buy a watch now and pass down to my children (create your own vintage) :o

on the contrary if the movement is a common one and parts are available, vintage watches are not difficult to maintain. there are even local makers who can fabricate/modify parts to fit.

hi guys, looking at some vintage watches. never owned a really expensive watch, only cheap watches for everyday use like the odd casio. saw some vintage iwc going for <2k. are these legit? growing up always thought iwc wouldn't go for this kind of price.

any pros and cons? anything i should look out for?

Do your homework. What to look out for.
Vintage is a far crazier game than normal modern pieces.
Good luck.

Which usually are..lol the common movement.
It's not about maintaining. It's about getting it all right in its original form. But that usually comes with a huge price tag
Not alot of people can stomach or justify it just because it's a old watch.
