It's sort of the same as buying a vintage car. It can fail the day after you buy it and it's no fault of the seller.

@borassictime918 4 месяца назад

Vintage cars can have a myriad of problems because of the on-going high levels of maintenance they inevitably need. - there’s rather more to go wrong with old cars, but yeah old stuff breaks far more easily and parts can be hard to source of course. One thing I know for sure is vintage watches don’t take kindly to being thrown into the back of a UPS or DHL van…literally - I’ve seen them do it…and I’d never put a vintage watch on a winder…

Any time I buy a vintage watch, I always budget the extra money for work on it by a watchmaker. Just in case.

@simonorr594 4 месяца назад

Yes! I actually buy them because my local watchmaker is superb and very reasonably priced. I'd rather hand him cash and chat about the movement than give money to some random used watch seller.

@Alan1234x 4 месяца назад

every vintage watch i've bought requires a service. I figure it into the total cost.

Not arguing here, but a watch winder on a vintage watch is like a new transmission on a vintage car. It'll end up breaking other parts if you don't get a new engine to go along with it.

I'm currently looking for a 70s TV Omega and it's nuts trying to find one that's in decent shape from a non sketchy source.

@lonewolfemcquade8133 4 месяца назад

I absolutely 💯 love vintage Omega. Way more than modern Omega. Would love a vintage Omega Mark 3 or a Flight Master

@inspector4133 4 месяца назад

Thanks for a quick reality check on the vintage watches we love. I've always been on the fence about winders, would like to hear more about them. Lots of opinions on winders, few with the science to back them up.

@harkonen1000000 4 месяца назад

Out of about 10 watches I wear, 2 were never serviced (a Casio W-59-1V (seldom worn) and G-Shock GW-7900 (mud resistant solar, practically a ball of plastic and rubber with metal armor bits just in case)). Stuff happens, in the end, the best watches are the ones you *want to* keep running. Several were broken from the start, but fixed, and work.

@matrixegg 4 месяца назад

What‘s the better deal? Pay for watch winder power supply for decades or get the movement fixed once?

@darkphotographer 4 месяца назад

i think my father had one like this one , a omega from 70is in gold , in think my ant has it some ware after my mother has pass , how much is that worth more or less

@rhgrabowski3855 4 месяца назад

A watch winder, much like a trickle charger for the vintage Porsche that is rarely driven. A wise investment for a great Omega. Thanks for sharing.

Currently buying this seamaster with 1020. It is a beautiful watch, but i an worried beacuse of the faults. Can you buy new parts to this movement?

@SuperBarnab 16 дней назад

Hello, do you know whether that issue persists on the 1022?

@kevorknourian5442 4 месяца назад

I had the same problem with mine after servicing same problem was back

@castor278 4 месяца назад

Insanity. I got a caliber 752 Seamaster just recently and this exact same thing happened to me. Luckily someone gave it to me for a steeldive Willard ( told guy it wasn't a fair trade ). Would love to know what this cost to fix. Been told between $400 - $1000. Other than the date change over it keeps great time and day changes.

@johngentile6814 4 месяца назад

well timing is everything - and the time was up for the omega to breakdown. I have a LeCoultre from the 70's - also a date./date - Swiss made for the American market. Don't wear it much - but do keep it wound

@UserKR13 4 месяца назад

Is it as bad as not returning a watch you loaned from Whatawatches?

@masan7452 4 месяца назад

I used to have the whole movement replaced by a watchmaker. Back then when I was a watch collector.

@voidifremoved 4 месяца назад

Have owned many 1020 & 1022 movement Omegas. I stopped purchasing them and sold them off because vintage Omegas are just to fragile. Never had a problem with them but you must treat them as if they have 0 water resistance and the acrylic crystals are not very robust, parts are old and amplitude is always a challenge. You need to be very careful of originality, there are so many franken vintage Omegas that are redialed, replated etc. Its fine to purchase them but you need full transparency.

@defender1006 4 месяца назад

Jory, I think the title is a bit misleading, I have vintage Omega's with 321/861/1861 and 1045 movements, they're all great and robust movements, so it's as you've said many years ago, do your homework/research etc?

@ams914 4 месяца назад

Watch winders save your watch from engaging the crown/winding system. This idea that they do harm is WIS to the max. Does it really matter if you have to service a watch in 5 or 10 years? Who cares?

@raymondfurgason8959 4 месяца назад

lol yeah sometimes but I recently made a video mentioning theres some hidden treasures on eBay where you just have to do homework to not get screwed. I got a beautiful Omega Constellation pie pan on eBay, the seller picked it up at an estate sale. It was just sitting in a drawer.

I just got the steel seamaster 1020 last week when this channel talked about it from eBay. It is a new old stock with 2 brand new bracelets. Talk about getting lucky. I couldn’t tell the excellent condition in the pics but when I opened up the package wow!

@lonewolfemcquade8133 4 месяца назад

I've bought a few watches on ebay and never had any issues. That are now years old. You can even buy a brand new watch with issues. Nothing is issue free
