The Breitling Watch Source Forums

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.

if you personaly like to do this, feel free to do this, but perhabs
you should set the time to "five minutes before twelve"

P.S.

i have no knowledge to give you positive feedback for this Ref

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

Man jewelry, why not? Actually I've worn quite a few that stopped running while wearing and continue to wear it until I return home.

I think more commonly I wear them unwound because I'm too busy staring at it and forget to wind and set

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.

When you wear a nice vintage watch any hour is cocktail hour!
