Buying Vintage Subs from Auction Houses is a Mug's Game

To me the vintage game is over unless you are going to spend a lot of money. Even then you may not get what you think.

I tend to agree. All that's really left in the lower price bracket is Datejusts.

What's the issue with the Snowflake? Is it a redial?

I’ve become interested too late to indulge in most 4 digit references so I’ve started looking at 5 digit instead.
