Men’s Vintage Watches – Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear a men’s vintage watch every day, and what about water exposure?
A well-serviced vintage watch is dependable for everyday use, but water is the main risk. Gaskets and tolerances age, so even pieces that were once “water-resistant” shouldn’t be worn for swimming or showers; light rain is typically fine if a watchmaker has checked the seals. When in doubt, avoid water.
How often should a vintage mechanical watch be serviced—and what does “fully serviced” mean?
Most experts recommend a service roughly every 4–5 years, depending on wear. A true “full service” means complete disassembly, cleaning, replacement of worn parts and seals, fresh lubrication, reassembly, and regulation for accurate timekeeping.
How do I verify authenticity and originality before buying?
Match reference and serial numbers to the expected model/year, confirm the movement caliber is correct, and assess dial printing, hands, crown signatures, and case engravings. Buy from reputable sellers and review high-resolution photos of the movement and case.
Do men’s vintage watches hold their value—and which factors matter most?
Well-preserved, original examples from sought-after brands tend to retain value, with market demand, rarity, condition, and documented service history being key drivers. The broader pre-owned market shows strong, sustained interest in classic models, especially steel sports pieces, though results vary by brand and reference.
