Has anyone ever worn a newly arrived non-running vintage watch because it feels and looks great? Best part you don't have to wind it.

Funny. And yes. Maybe worse, as I've worn watches that actually worked, unwound, because I was scared they were perhaps too dry to survive a single winding  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I think more commonly I wear them unwound because I'm too busy staring at it and forget to wind and set Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Sounds good to me. I have worn watches in the past that have not been wound or set. Hours later I have realise the oversight.  Its happened a few times too. Perhaps I can follow Vintage' idea, and tell myself that at the time, it was a Man Jewellery thing.

That is sharp looking all around. Nice pick up, love it on the croc. I'd set it to cocktail hour not noon. |
