I ONLY wear vintage watches..
In Response To: Vintage Omega, Daily Wear ()


MOST of my watches are from the 60's or 70's.

I see no problem wearing them on a dialy basis.

I do however "look after" them.

I don't shower in them, don't wash the dishes wearing them ( I DO load the dishwasher though :- ) )

I dive & when I'm underwater I wear either a cheap quartz diver or a Citizen Divemaster. I don't consider a vintage watch "suitable equipment" for underwater use.

I remove my watches when working in the garage/shed or crawling around under a car.

I sleep whilst wearing my watch.

Wear it & enjoy it !

Steve
