Hello, I just acquired my first vintage watch. Its a Stainless Steel 825K Memovox from 1970's. My next goal is to buy a Vintage Perpetual Calendar. Memovox is one of those vintage watches that should be more expensive than they are. I am looking something similar. That is what I am looking for, a big dial 38-41mm automatic perpetual calendar in Steel or Solid-Gold, which is inexpensive yet has some great movement like the Memovox. Thanks. | ||

I think you will be VERY hard pressed to find a perpetual calendar with those specs, in vintage. You can find a non-perpetual, manual wind one, no problem though. | ||

Zaf, Could list a few vintage perpetual calendars, which would be a good purchase? Nothing very expensive though. For some reason I don't like manual watches. Thanks. | ||

I'm not aware of any automatic vintage perpetual calendars. Even if there was such a thing it would costs 5 figures easily. | ||

Well, I am a 10-6 office type person. I attend meetings like 5times a day and I am always suited-up. I am looking for a nice watch that I can put on everyday. People have suggested me rolex, ap and stuff like that but I am looking for something more classic and dressy. Can I find any vintage perpetual calendar in manual wind? | ||

Might be $80,000+ in vintage not sure which brands would make a perpetual. Maybe it exists as a Patek, and that might even be $250,000 or more. My suggestion is get yourself a modern JLC auto Perpetual, plenty of vintage visuals and it'll cost you less than $20,000. | ||

Perpetual means no manual correction of date, month (ie. 31st of June) and 29th February... A sophisticated movement! Maybe you like the IWC DaVinci model. But you have to be prepared for quite some money. | ||

Zaf, I have my eyes on the Master Perpetual from JLC. Also, MontBlanc has launched a nee Perpetual under $13,000 at SIHHH. Any thoughts on that? How about some vintage automatic moon-phase watches? Any that I can get under good budget. |
