I know there are concerns about making sure you buy what you think you are buying when it comes to vintage, however, are there other issues/concerns?

Mostly I'm thinking how difficult it is to get a 50 or 60 year old watch serviced when something goes wrong with it?

There are probably other concerns I'm not aware of.

Anyway curious on the feedback, like I said I'm not doing this anytime soon unless I fall into one from someone impeccable, but would like to know what all concerns you have when dealing with a vintage watch like the 5513?
First would hardly call any 14060 14060M vintage, watches like the 5513 if they have been serviced and pressure regular then they can be worn the same like any modern day Rolex.
