: I have seen the 1970s watches across the board lead styling/model
: re-issure trends.

: The Big watch 42+mm is primarily a 1970s watch trend. Many folks
: thought these were the ugliest or most ungainly,
: but they clearly drove the big watch craze of the last 5 yrs from
: Panerai to AP Offshore, to most sports watches today.

: Also,I would argue the Manufacturers (Lemania / Valjoux) will play
: a big role in collectability.

: I think a lot of guys "will buy it for the engine".

: There are a lot of watch brands that are a bit obscure (Longines,
: Zodiac, Wittnauer, Tissot, Bucherer, Nivada, Tudor) but have
: excellent movements that are the same as higher end brands
: (Heuer, Bretling, Rolex).

: These too will drive collectability as certain Omega (Plo Prof) and
: Heuer (Monaco) are beyond the rach of almost all collectors.

: As a side note, Longines has timed almost all the Olympics; and did
: Fromula 1 for most of the 70s-80s.

: Rolex still holds the crown in motorosports timing, and is the
: Prize given to Le Mans, ALMS, F1 drivers and Offical Timkeeper
: of the 24 H of LeMans
