Recommendations for the owner of antique watches:
1. All Antique watches are
mechanical.
2. Antique watches are
generally NOT waterproof. This is because waterproofing was not in general
production until the middle of the 20th century for most watches. Therefore you
should protect your antique watch from exposure to moisture.
3. If your watch becomes wet
it should be dried off quickly. Carefully open all covers and use a hair drier
to blow dry the movement, dial, covers, crown. This will reduce the amount of
rust.
4. When adjusting the hands of
your watch, move them in a clockwise direction only. Counter-clockwise
adjustments may damage the movement.
5. If you must adjust
counter-clockwise make it for small adjustments only (i.e. for minutes, NOT
hours).
6. Every 2-3 years it is
necessary to service and oil vintage watches.
7. To clean the case, dial and
crystal you should use a cloth that does NOT leave fibers as these may get
caught up in the movement. Check with your Watch repair expert to get an appropriate
cloth.
8. Keep your antiques watch
away from magnets. Strong magnetic fields may affect the accuracy of your watch
since some vintage watches were made with iron based components in the
movement.
9. Most Cases and Covers are
fine components and will not handle abuse well. The watch should not be shaken,
beaten, or stressed.
10. Antique watches generally
experience an error of up to 5-7 minutes a day. Any accuracy of +- 5 minutes is
very good.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE BIDDING!
Please note:
Vintage watches are very
delicate and I package to the highest degree to prevent damage.
High altitude flights can be hard on watches
due to extreme temperature changes. This can cause the oil viscosity to
decrease (gum up) and prevent a watch from ticking (the balance moving freely
etc.). It may need to be oiled when it arrives regardless of its recent
servicing (if applicable). Although this is only a very slight possibility it
can occasionally happen.
Please bear in mind that you are buying a used
watches and it will require service at some point in time.
