**Mechanical watches need to be wound daily, when you are wearing them.
About 12 to 14 turns of the crown is all that is necessary, and will prevent them from being wound too tightly, when watch is completely run down. 10 turns of the crown daily should be sufficient to keep it running for 24 hour periods.
I personally collect a few old watches, and from my experience I can tell you
that, if you can get a mechanical watch to keep time within 1 to 3 minutes a day you are doing well. They are not as accurate as modern watches with quartz movements. The watches listed here will keep good time to within a couple of minutes a day or better. Parts watches will be sold "As is". Straps in pictures are folded under. Pictures with strap are 100% actual size. |
