Question from noobie

Dear all,

I am new to this super interesting vintage watch world.
There are couple of questions i want to ask regarding vintage watch. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

1. Is it okay to use vintage watch as a daily watch ? I dont say daily beater because i work in the office and i am quite fuzzy about protecting my watch. If i know i'll be in labor that might get my watch in contact i take it off. If my wife want to hold my watch hand and she is using bracelet, i switch hand (this annoy her so much). Even if she want to spray perfume near me while i am wearing a watch, i rannnnnnnnnnnnn.

2. Is watch movement better if lets say you use it frequently or use it less or not use it at all. Lets say you use it a week full before you give it a rest for one week and start using it. Is the movement condition will be better than the one that been used day in and day out ?

3. Is a vintage Heuer hard to maintain in general if you want to use it as a daily watch ? Is frequent service required for watch that is already 40 years old (for example)

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Vintage watches are in general, like vintage cars.
Beautiful to contemplate, difficult to operate and maintain.

Well my country is quite humid compare to most europe or america country. For example, if you leave cracker chips outside the bag for half an hour it will be soggy easily

What vintage heuer you have bro ?

I've sold a couple of Omegas - and actually have one for sale, a Jumbo calibre 265.

For the time being, I am out of vintage watches, except a couple of Vostok Komandirskies from the Soviet era.
