Please remember that vintage/antique watches have survived for many decades by being treated well. Vintage/antique watches are not for wearing while doing yard work, working out, or swimming.Vintage/antique watches cannot keep time like their quartz cousins and will need altering on average between +-2 to +-5 mins per day. They are a little more destructible than modern watches. Vintage/antique watches also require periodic service and cleaning. Every couple of years, they would like their 20,000 mile checkup, oil change, and general service. By taking care of your vintage watch, you will have years of great service, and a quality valuable heirloom to pass to another generation.
