I have three from the 1950s and one from the 1960s. They all function perfectly - they are not as accurate as quartz watches, of course, but generally keep within 10 seconds a day; they can be "adjusted" to be more accurate by leaving them in different positions overnight. Gained during the day? then lay it face down or something. Lost during the day? then rest it on its side, etc. Personally I don't bother and just reset the watch from time to time.
I have had my original, a chronometre, since I bought it new in 1954!
Some new parts may be a problem, but a good watchmaker can usually find used ones that will work quite all right!
Nice watches! if it looks good to you, go for it!
