How often do you wear your vintage piece(s)?

Garv · Dec 17, 2015

I have four vintage pieces that get worn with varying regularity.
Two get worn probably once every 10 days or so, and the other two maybe once a month

Depending on my mood.... I wear a watch for let's say 4 to 14 days. Always an Omega. And they are 1/3 newer ones (for example Planet Ocean) and the rest are older ones from 60ies and 70ies.... actually nine ones in randomly rotation...

Regular rotation. Right now I have my 5512 on

I wear all of them in rotation, only one modernish watch which I wear when going out on the beer, just in case things get a bit messy.
I have been wearing these three this week, it is good to have three of a certain watch, the Mrs thinks it is the same watch (bonus)👍

My only modern watch is a Sinn, which I believe I haven't worn in 2 years.

What?!?!?!? That's a real........ sin...... not wearing that beautiful watch! 😲

Just curious how many people here wear a vintage as an everyday piece, in regular rotation, only occasionally, etc.

Used to wear a vintage piece 4 or 5 days a week. Watches were made to be worn so wear'em.

Modern watch 🤔 Don't own one 😀

My newest (mechanical) one is 15 years old. That is a retro Hamilton manual winder which I never wear. I don't count the Quartz ones as they hardly fit the criteria. Next, would be the two I have from 1989 and 90. Rarely wear those either. So the answer is, I wear vintage or antique watches every day. I use the plural watches because presently I am wearing 2. A 1957 Hamilton Ventura Electric (see WRUW), and a 1975 Quartz Omega Seamaster.

Every. Damn. Day. There's only one that I don't wear and that's simply because it's mint and I have a slightly more worn version of it as a daily wearer

Vintage is all there is around here, except for one late 1990s Seiko quartz received as a gift, so I wear vintage watches daily. I tend to favor Longines or Omega models but all watches see use. Once properly serviced, they provide excellent dependability. I will occasionally stick with one for as long as a week but most watches see use for a day or two at a time mostly because the watches with their bands are matched to wardrobe, shoes, and belt.

When I got home from the office, I let Mrs. noelekal's chickens out of their run for a minute right before dark and gave them a treat of scratch. This 14 kt rose gold Doxa with aged dial was worn with a festive shirt featuring primarily red and green. It was the bank's annual Christmas customer appreciation day, with the community room opened up for holiday snacking all day.

All day, every day, unless water is involved.

If there's gin involved I tend to avoid a 321 Speedmaster, just in case.

Fritz · Dec 17, 2015

daily, watches aged from 47 to 141 years..... average age would be about 65. change about every three days.

I've got two cheap watches for mowing the lawn etc.... the "hundred dollar divers" an '80 Accutron and a recent Seiko 200m

sjg22 · Dec 17, 2015

I'm curious what members think qualify as vintage - my daily wearer is a 16760 1985 'fat lady' Rolex GMT-Master II. Does a 30 year old watch count as 'vintage'?

I do work in a "straight writing" Speedmaster 145.022-69 ST on Fridays, which would very clearly qualify.

But what constitutes "vintage"?

Wongo · Dec 18, 2015

Constellation for work as of late. Alternate Vintage is Omega WWW military, 5508 for special functions
Casio G-Shock for refereeing and gym

If there's gin involved, I appreciate my 321 Speedmaster even more.

Fixed your typos.

alam · Dec 18, 2015

I wear all my watches, some more than others. Those in my small vintage herd get their opportunity to ride my wrist, unless I find myself under water.

Javi22 · Dec 18, 2015

I have only vintage watches...and use them every day.

Plexi is sexy. 😀 ::psy::

timjohn · Dec 18, 2015

Vintage when I'm at home, except down to the beach, but mostly modern on the road -- Rolex Batman, JLC, Grand Seiko, Timezone Smiths, depending on the dodginess of the destination.

I like my watches like I like my woman,
Born in the last century, all original parts, modestly sized and sporting leather.

(Vintage only)
