4 Reasons a Vintage Watch is the Perfect Gift for a Man

Buying the perfect gift is an art. It’s always a challenge to find something unique, high-quality, and well-suited to your recipient. If you’re like the rest of us, you might have some trouble when it comes to finding just the right gift for the men in your life. Fortunately, there is that is almost one-of-a-kind item that holds great appeal to every respectable gentleman: a vintage wrist watch from a top designer.

Here are four of the many reasons why a high-caliber vintage watch is the perfect gift for guys:

1. Choosing A Rare Model from a Top Designer – When it comes to an aesthetic gift, nothing beats receiving something that is virtually one-of-a-kind, and a choice like a Patek Philippe Watch like this on TrueFacet is not something he’ll see on the wrists of his buddies. The Patek Philippe-Aquanaut Jumbo-38mm automatic watch is the rare 5165 model, only manufactured for a very short time between the 5065 and 5167 models. In other words, there are only a few of these particular watches floating around, and giving one to your guy is like giving him a piece of wearable history.

2. Durability and High Quality Craftsmanship – The craftsmanship that went into making this rugged watch is beyond comparison: genuine stainless steel casing, precision screw installation, original strap, pre-worn and broken in leather, the watch comes with a 1-year warranty, but, unless any crazy accidents occur, you won’t need it. No, this watch boasts old-world craftsmanship at its finest.

3. Get it Hassle-Free by Shopping Online –Shopping at the mall can be an ordeal. The stores are always crowded with last minute shoppers, and the best items always seem to be out of stock. It’s always a good strategy to purchase gifts online from the comfort of your own home, where sales pitches are minimized, there are no crowds to content with, and you always know what’s in stock and available. Even if it’s getting down to the wire, expedited shipping options are usually available to get you the items you want in time for special occasions.

4. A Modern Status Symbol – Wrist watches are not quite as ubiquitous as they were in the more dapper male fashion scene of the mid-1900s, but that only means that they stand out more. They are still a staple of the industrious man’s outfit; and sporting a high-quality watch can add a professional touch to a man’s look more than you might think. A beautiful strap, excellent craftsmanship, and quality materials of a premium vintage watch from a respected designer guarantee that everyone he runs into will admire it.
As you can see, when you’re not sure what to get the man in your life for the next special occasion, a vintage wristwatch is an ideal option!
