I've been really lusting after a Rolex Datejust 1601 from the 1970s, one with a more jangly jubilee bracelet. But can't quite justify paying between $4,000-5,000. I was wondering if anyone has recommendation of vintage watches from similar ti…

1960s Bulova Ambassador serviced and repaired for a broken date gear. Back from shop and watch stops before I put it on the next day, between 5-7. Should I take this back to the same watch shop to see what they can do, try a different watchmaker or jus…
