People Liberation Army (PLA) Chinese commander's watch
Collecting vintage watches need not be a "rich men's" hobby. These watches were from the 1950s-60s made specially for the military commander-in-chief. As such, these were People Liberation Army watches issuse by the Chinese military to the special priviledge few. These watches may not be "expensive" but it holds a special history which made it highly coolectable...for those who know..The More You know...the more you appreciate!

Omega Moonphase
During the 80s, there were not many mechanical watches around as quartz were still the favourite then. This moonphase watches were considered "complicated" watch then..
This is a 1950s moonphase with month, day and date function and a small subsidiary second at the 6 oclock position.
