    Anyone from Cuba?

    Just wondered if there are vintage watches to be found in Cuba like there are vintage cars.

    Visited loads of times, there are some vintage Russians and whatnot but they are as knackered as most of the cars.

    After the revolution the rebels seized the merchandise kept by a prominent Havana jeweller, including some rolex watches.
    Fidel was famously sporting a 6542 gmt and a day date and Che was using a 1675 gmt... so keep an eye out for some vintage rolexes!

    I doubted it by now, I was born in Cuba and can still remember wanting a wristwatch as a seven year old back in the late 1960s, no such luck.
    When we arrived to the US, I was 10 my grandmother had a Caravelle by Bulova as a gift waiting for me, I was in heaven.
