How was it all done - pre Internet?
Watch magazines? Catalogues? Clubs? Window shopping?
Bond movies?
Pony express deliveries?
Anyone here a WIS prior to the Internet?

Now, seriously: mostly window shopping. And the brands - usually the local distributors - were more willing to offer a catalogue or two, if you asked them nicely (the prices were handwritten...old times).

I don't suppose there was much point in photographing your watches either. .

My parents would take me to Walgreen's Drug Store on Sat mornings for a malt, then I would get to look at a watch magazine in the display rack.

So this was back when Walgreen's sold malts instead of smokes, right?
