It's crazy how after you learn more about a watch you instantly like it more. Before I knew anything I found this watch really unattractive with the green markers and hands but now I cant take it off. Wearing it to work for the 2nd day in a row. Its actually keeping really great time too. That is one of the things I love about mechanics watches. Hasn't been used in 50-60 years. Pick up it and BAM the thing starts ticking and working right away. The only thing I have noticed is that the bezel is REALLY difficult to move.

Be mindful that it needs a service after all those years sitting idle. Service and clean will iron out the bezel issue and you will have a good watch for years to come.

They’ll run, and if you only plan to wear it occasionally, then it may make it for a few more decades before it quits. But remember, it’s running in 50 year old oils that have dried up and turned too goo, so it’s probably hard contact with every revolution.
I was never a diver watch fan, always thought they were clunky. Then I got one…then two…then twenty….it’s like chips, can’t have just one.
And it is hard to compete with this style of skin diver. New divers, and even homages of ones like this, tend to be larger and thicker. They don’t wear as slim to the wrist- which is part of the joy of these.

Yea I have a ton of watches that are probably in need of service but I just don't know anyone who lives even remotely close to me that services vintage watches. Closest person I know of is in York which is still 2 hours away and the only way I found out about him was through a member on this forum.

You can always try the AWCI search engine to find people with various certifications in your area (e.g. CW21).

Also, there appears to be an NAWCC chapter (#76 TIMEKEEPERS) near you, although I'm not sure it's active. You can send an email to the contact indicated on this page. It's always good to develop a local network for word-of-mouth referrals.

@Dan S suggestion is a good one. Beat the local for a good watchmaker in your area.
I have a couple different people that I have used- my local guy (who’s almost retired and not taking new clients) can do just about anything cheaply, but I usually have to hunt down the parts and wait forever- I’m fine with that. He is willing to just do a clean and lube on a cheap vintage piece and get it running as best as it can get. But some watchmakers aren’t willing to do that as they can’t warranty the work (my guy knows I won’t have an issue- we have been friends for a long time).
I have another I use for Omegas as that’s his thing, and another specifically for Landeron and Val chronographs as that’s his thing (hobbiest with a massive parts stash and he digs them). I also have a friend who does amazing restoration work but is not a watchmaker so can only go so far comfortably.

Eventually you will find your network, many craftsmen for different things (not all watchmakers can do lume or dial repair so there are people just for that). But few people are willing to share those contacts as if word gets out, then they will be overrun and we won’t get our work done. It’s a double edged sword.

@Dan S @JwRosenthal y'all are a couple of GOATs.

Dan I will use that AWCI search function and see what I can find and also look into the local NAWCC chapter.

JW I understand what your saying. Referrals resulting in longer wait times means less time on the wrist. I don't know if you're local to me but should anything change and anyone is looking for an additional client LMK!

Size matters, you say?
I have a Princeton. It's worn and I have not tried to see if it works. It could be one of those bargain watches y'all were talking about. What do you think about it?

Here are a couple of bargain watches.

Welcome to OF @DoublebarT . Those are nice watches: You should give them a wash, be a bit careful with the watch heads thou, if you dont know when they last was serviced. Nail brush and detergent for the straps and damp cloth or thooth brush with a little soap for the heads.
