Vintage is so much fun and so great that it's easy to forget it's not for everyone. I think this is more about knowing yourself and less about the watch in question. I mean, there's terrific options with modern Tudor, snowflake hands and blue dials and all. I love scarred and used and archaic. Universal Geneve Tri-Compax, right? Triple date, moonphase, chronograph (3-register!). But you had to WIND the sucker every day! Yes, I ride a 34 year old motorcycle, BUT I had a custom seat made to cushion my enormous geriatric posterior. I love vintage, but have no great fondness for sacred and sacrosanct when it comes to artifacts. Go ahead and enjoy. If you kill it, it makes the others rarer and more valuable. End of rant.
