could i wear vintage as daily watch?
Can't decide whether to buy a newer Submariner and wear it as a daily watch, or buy a 60s era Sub and use that as daily. Any problems using an older Sub as a daily?

As long as the watch is regularly serviced and pressure tested an old sub is fine as a daily wearer. Each service should include a new crystal. The old style acrylic crystals can develop minute fissures that compromise the integrity of the water resistance so a new one is in order every few years.

I have a 49 year old sub that keeps just as good time as my 2011 sub! It has original crystal and it perfect! I do not wear it in the water though and my crystal is probably 99% scratch free--lucky!! They were made to last and enjoy!!!

I am wearing my Tropical 69' Sub again but my 62' 5512 2 line will be back on the wrist later as I just got her back from the Bob Ridley Spa!! (there is dust on the crystal-the dial has not a single mark on it-absolutely flawless)
