do you wear your vintage regularly?

if he has the parts to replace, he will do it for you with a cost...

Since RSC won't service my rollie if there are fake parts inside, wonder if I bring it to Top Hour, get uncle to help me verify which parts are fake and change it back to original, then I bring it back to RSC for authentication..... hahaha....

I just wana revert it back to it's original shape before I handover to my kids for keepsake... wont be selling it though....

Got to pay lo... I guess the price will be less costly compared to RSC.

Vintage or Modern Watches

You need to keep all the mechanical watch running. It is like a car with all the running parts need a good workout.

yeah...no harm wearing the vintage pieces...my lao ko ko omega geneve is in my current rotation...

[deadbench]

since old rolex are prone to case corrosion... due to the metal used + over 30years..

are there any kind of protective film or sticker to seal those 'prone' areas? like the crown area, cse back area?

then i can really wear them with confidence. hahaha.. rain also not scare.

Vintage Thunderbird - 1946 to 1947

I've this old vintage that was sent for svc recently. It no longer is water proof. Kindof careful when worn, can't really use it as daily beater.

[triton]

should be able to to use it as a daily watch. only have to be careful if kena caught in the rain. wash hands.

so long as dont go swimming, bathing with it, it should be able to wear it as a daily watch.

[sportee]

[feilong108]

i wear my 1970s omegas with no worries....i am a desk diver...not anywhere near water...if i wash hands i do take great care not to let the watch come in contact with water at all....

[sportee]

On and off, i will still wash my vintage with a soft brush and some soupy solution. Dunno will that hurts my vintages...

[louie]

I will only take them out to admire,and wear them at home To me vintage watches are more for collection than a daily beater...i wish i could wear them like my other modern watches.

I just use a cloth (those for cleaning specs) to wipe it after every wear. Never try using brush etc to clean it.
