·Forgive the general title - I just couldn’t think of a better one.
I’ve just bought a Seamaster (my ‘second’ technically after I returned my first due to not educating myself beforehand properly) from @seekingseaquest. It’s a lovely watch, ref 2849 so therefore a calendar with 503 movement. I plan to wear this watch daily alongside my Omega Speedmaster date (the movement is a dressed up Valjoux 7750) which I have worn daily for the past five years or so. I am also looking to buy a 167.005 Constellation, and that’ll have a 551 movement; this will go into my rotation to be worn regularly too.
I wear my Speedy everywhere, I cycle (commuting) in it, I go to bars and parties etc, to see shows (so clapping) and have not had any issues with it, other than two free regulations (by Omega) over these five years. Do I need to take any precautions with this new vintage watch and/or avoid wearing it for certain things as it’s more delicate? For what it’s worth, the speedy does not label itself anywhere as being shockproof.
