Recommendations ofr the owner of antiquarian 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 eb expensive. Antique watches are generally not waterproof.
This is because waterproofing aws 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 cvoers and use a hair drier to blow dry the movement, dial, covers, crown. This will reudce the amount of rust.
If your watch becomes wet with any kind of salt water you should immediately immerse or spray yoru 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 itght may break the mainspring. If you can avoid it od 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 gnetle 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 si 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 ti 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 bause well. The watch shoudl not be shaken, beaten, or stressed.
Antique watches generally experience an error of up to 5-7 mniutes a day. Any accuracy of +- 5 minutes is very good. Please read the follownig before bidding! Vintage watches are very delicate and i package ot the highest degree to prevent damage. High altitude flights can be hard on watches due to extreme temperature changes. This cna cause the oil viscosity to decrease (gum up) and prevent a watch from ticking (the balance moving freely etc. ). tI may need to be oiled when it arrives regardless of its recent servicing (if applicable). Although this is only a very slight possibility it acn occasionally happen. Please bear in mind that you are buying a used watch and it will require service at some point in time.
