Vintage Watch Hunting
"What self-respecting watch nerd hasn't spent countless hours trolling eBay for that elusive vintage treasure that no one has discovered?" writes Gear Patrol's Jason Heaton. "While the thrill of watch collecting is in the hunt, enough foiled plans and missed auctions will make anyone gun shy." So the watch-obsessed gents at GP have put together an extensive guide to purchasing old school timepieces on eBay, featuring a strong mix of under dog watches that fly under a lot of collectors' radars. "Not only do you stand a better chance of scoring one of these collectible tickers, once you do make the final bid, you'll end up with a legitimate piece of horological history."
