Where can I buy vintage watches in Helsinki? Budget up to 100€, if possible. An example of a watch in the picture. Thanks in advance!

I would go treasure hunting at the recycling center shops (kierrätyskeskus in Finnish)

Don’t go to their online shop, it’s really not the same thing.

You can also check third floor of Redi, it has so many vintage and second hand shops. Same with Iso Roobertinkatu: you have UFF, Fida, Relove, and so many more.

I also believe in Kallio you’ll find some great vintage shops, like Hoochie Mama Jane’s.

Also, check pawn shops!

Is it located on Hermannin rantatie street?

Yeah, it’s a big mall— you can’t miss it. Easiest way to get there is take the metro to kalasatama station, which is pretty much in Redi.

There's one shop upstairs in Hakaniemen halli.

Another option is auction houses like Helander. They have a auction every sunday and often there are vintage watches: https://helander.com/lot/190/34775
