The 3570.50 might not be vintage by definition but it's a great watch w/a solid movement and one you can wear with a variety of straps to bring more versatile looks. I have enjoyed mine for several years w/o any issues.

Here's mine on an Omega Racing & deployant

I wonder if I might ask, with your 3570.50, do you wind it up daily or every other day and approximately how many winds of the crown when you do?

For the most part, I don’t wear the same watch everyday; I do wind the Speedy just before wearing and will turn the crown until it stops - I believe this is the recommended way to achieve the max power reserve on this movement.

Best practice is to wind the watch every day. You wind it until you hit a firm stop and you can't wind it anymore. Winding by counting the turns is too imprecise.

Thank you so much for your reply. I have for too long been used to either an automatic or a quartz watch. Was frightened of being heavy handed and winding things way too much. Your advice very much appreciated
