Ho Chi Minh Watchseek

Just happen to be in Vietnam this week for a few days, scouting around for watches.

Can't find anything of much interest, millions of fake but I'm more in old unique watches. There are many old Omega but a bit cautious on it since there are many old fake.

Few shops displaying these make to look old Crystal Ball "Omega" at USD 50 each before bargaining. I did not bargain because I think they are not genuine. When few shops selling same item, it can't be real antique.

Junk street in Saigon, not many watches. Mostly statues and porcelain.

This Wittnauer watch they asking 4000000 dong about USD180, should not be that price.

Being a Tourist in District 1 is not a good place for reasonable price vintage. I can pick up better watches back home or on ebay.

Some enthusiast advise me to be careful of Frankenwatchs or some called it "United Nation Watches" due to mixed and match parts even in a Rolex.
