Recommendations for the
owner of vintage watches:
- All Antique watches are mechanical.
Many repairs will not be cheap, as most likely they will
require replacement of non-standard parts (unlike most
late model watches).
- Antique watches should not be beaten or dropped -
because repairs may be expensive.
- 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.
- 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.
- If your watch becomes wet with any kind of salt water
you should immediately immerse or spray your watch with
fresh (no-salt) water to remove all the salt from the
works before drying the watch completely. Any salt left
in the watch will combine with moisture in the air to
rust metal components of the movement, case etc.
- Winding any mechanical watch tight may break the
mainspring. If you can avoid it do not wind the watch
hard.
- When adjusting the hands of your watch, move them in a
clockwise direction only. Counter-clockwise adjustments
may damage the movement.
- If you must adjust counter-clockwise make it for small
adjustments only (i.e. for minutes, NOT hours).
- Be careful and gentle when adjusting the movement
speed (faster or slower). Don't make sharp movements,
and don't touch other components in the movement
especially the pendulum mechanism.
- Every 2-3 years it is necessary to service and oil
vintage watches.
- If the watch is dirty - allow the watch to run down,
don't wind it again until you have it serviced by a
qualified watch repair expert. Dust will absorb and
remove important lubricants and cause the movement
pieces to wear down.
- 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.
- 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.
- Most Cases and Covers are fine components and will not
handle abuse well. The watch should not be shaken,
beaten, or stressed.
- Antique watches generally experience an error of up to
5-7 minutes a day. Any accuracy of +- 5 minutes is very
good.
