Watch Spotting: The Best Vintage Watches From The Miami Antiques Show (Tons Of Photos)

There are the antiques shows your grandparents go to, and then there is the Miami Antiques Show. Okay, who am I kidding, the Miami Antiques Show is the antiques show your grandparents go to. But, in spite of the overly air-conditioned, nothing-to-eat-but-Papa-John's environment, the Miami show makes for some of the best vintage watch spotting this side of Parma. As always, we made our annual trek down South and here are some the best pieces we saw, broken down by provider.

Matthew Bain, Inc.

Rolex Submariner 6358 Zenith Espada Two 2526s, in different colors. Two Beta 21 Pateks. A-Series RO reference 5402. Solid-gold reference 3700 Nautilus.

Only Vintage + Alessandro Ciani + Danies Wong

Killer gold Universal Compur. Some nice, less expensive stuff. Clean 6241. Pink Killy. That 1940s pink-gold AP – find another in this size. Amazing yellow-on-yellow Dato-Compax Rolex. Serpico signed 6204. Early DJ's.

Massimo Barraca + Vintage Watches Miami

Nice full set Sub. Early VC's.

Elsewhere At The Show

Too many pocketwatches. So, so many crappy watches. More watches. Vintage gems hidden amongst contemporary crap.

On The Wrist, And Not For Sale

Beautiful Blancpain. Remember when Snowflakes were cheap?
