A case of Watches and Watchfinder, a large Europe-based pre-owned watch dealer. They will usually have a substantial range of popular watches like the Rolex Submariner in stock.

My kind of vintage watch! A stunning Vacheron Constantin Triple Calendar from 1946 I got to try on at our Event with Falco Watches.
