Freccero

I knew this watch but never seen one in the wild I think, as it is a pretty rare bird.

Vintage world nowadays is quite crazy and is very difficult to predict which model in the future will reach the glory among collectors, from the moment that there are many historical and gorgeous models that are widely underrated, while others (such as the Autavia) are sky rocking.
Your De Luca is a very nice watch with a mythical movement, the most important together with the 27 CHRO C12. Furthermore also the design and the look are really appealing and quite similar to the Autavia (hands, bezel and pushers).
Sincerely I can not predict if this model will have more success in the future but who cares? The important thing is that you appreciate it and enjoy it!
Best.

2nd series Deluca

I have been after an El Primero for a while, but never considered the Deluca until I saw the blue face on Chrono24. The only issue I have with it, is trying to find extra links for the bracelet (had to add an extender to the clasp which is not ideal). Des...

I don't think it's that difficult to predict what's going to be hot. The past few years anything that's old, looks good/cool/.... has a decent movement, classic looks, ... is and will be popular and should be picked up. People nowadays buy anything. The s...

Even old VW's from the 80s and 90s are going for crazy prices. The vintage/classic hype is crazy.
