Women’s Vintage Watches – Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear a women’s vintage watch every day, and what about water exposure?
A well-serviced vintage watch is great for daily wear, but water is the main risk. Gaskets age and tolerances change, so even watches once marked “water-resistant” shouldn’t be used for swimming or showers. Light rain and splashes are usually fine if a watchmaker has checked the seals—when in doubt, keep it dry.
How often should a mechanical ladies’ watch be serviced—and when do quartz batteries need replacing?
Mechanical vintage watches typically benefit from a full service every 4–7 years, depending on use. Quartz models usually need a fresh battery every 1–3 years (chronographs and watches with extra complications can drain faster).
What sizes fit smaller wrists best for women’s vintage watches?
Classic women’s vintage sizes are often 23–29 mm (mini to small). For a modern presence while keeping vintage proportions, look for 30–32 mm “mid-size.” Also check lug-to-lug length and strap width (often 12–14 mm) for comfort.
How can I verify authenticity before buying a women’s vintage watch?
Match the reference, serial number, and movement caliber to the correct production period; examine dial printing, hands, crown signatures, and case engravings; and review clear movement and case-back photos. Buy from reputable sellers and watch for “Franken” pieces (mixes of original and non-original parts).
