Have anyone read this book ?

Is this a good reference? worth it to buy ?

Thanks,

Yes, yes, yes!!! I've read mine time and time again, and is now safely packed away. It's amazing how much we do know, yet don't know (when you read a book so good). If you buy it and regret it, I would imagine there's always another bod ready to pay you good money for it!! Hope you get it!!

I have it too, it's a great book with lots of info and pictures. You'll learn a lot of history from it, I think it's great.

Nice book and worth the price. Certainly gives enough info to get you close to the target and then TRF and VRF can fill in with real photos and answers to the inevitable questions.

The price of the book will very likely prevent you from a costly purchase error. Well worth the $50.

well worth the $50 price of admission... loads of valuable vintage info

cheers,

I like it too. My only complaint is that the "pictures" of the watches are actually computer-generated images. That said, it's probably the best reference of it's kind.

really good staring point that lays out the basics quite well... a few dodgy watches in there and a bit 'off' on a few things so dont take it as gospel...but good read.
