Collector Description
Fairly new to watches and wanted to see how I started off. Was pretty happy finding the Citizen (ref 21-2521) for $40. I do think I overpaid for the Seiko Alba Vient ($100) but I do love the watch. Would appreciate any input or tips on what to look for. I’m really interested in collecting only vintage Japanese movement.
