Recently, I find myself more and more drawn to the allure of vintage pieces, but with the reliability of modern movements. That began with my purchase of the Glashutte Original Sixties, and several other watches since including a couple Eternas. Recently I saw the Cuervo Y Sobrinos Historiador, and fell in love again. Too bad it is a brand that is hard to get good discounts on around here, due to its low circulation.

This one is priced fairly affordably at $2900 in stainless steel and $9995 in Rose Gold. That should put its street price well within grasp, possibly even in Rose Gold! This one is a healthy 40mm, which with the fancy long lugs should wear much larger. Unfortunately the movement is a rather stock ETA 2895, with CYS engraved rotor.

Nevertheless, I still very much like the Cuervo Y Sobrinos Historiador!
