Speaking of which, at one point while I'm there, a customer in his 60s who seems like he might live in the neighborhood comes in by himself and doesn't even need to look at the menu. "I know link what I want," he says. "I want the squid adobo." link I tell link Dayrit that the man's decisiveness with his lunch reminds me of how Dayrit collects watches. This resonates with him. "If there's a watch I want, and I see one in pristine condition, I drop everything."

If you're here reading this Vintage Watches link column on HODINKEE we can safely assume that you take a romantic view of wristwatches at least to some extent. The gloss of a vintage Rolex gilt dial or the snap of a Valjoux 72 chronograph hand resetting for example these are the details we as vintage fans go nuts for. But the deep gloss back on your Submariner ref. 5513 can't tell you what link day of the month it is and link the Valjoux 72's resetting snap won't change how accurate that chronograph is.
