vintage tudor robustness

I am sure this has been asked before, but aside from loss of water tightness, how robust is a well maintained vintage watch? Specifically, I recently bought a 9411 in very good shape and I wear it everyday. Just curious if I am doing any injustices or damage to the watch. I am not wearing it to do rigorous activity.

As long as the seals are good, crystal is strong, and Tube/Crown are good and tested, no reason you can't dive with it.

Wear mine all the time.

Let's see a photo ; )

I wear my 7021 at the beach and in the pool. You need to rinse it with warm water afterwards.

Agree with this. If it's been serviced/WR tested then it should be fine.
