Thats a beauty bungleski. All I can add is to make sure it never gets polished. Scuffs and scratches give it more identity especially given its age

I'm against watch winders. Storage is more important. Keep in a safe inside a cupboard and the grease on parts wont dry out for many many years. Decades in fact.

Thanks all for your input. Puts my mind at ease regarding it’s sleep time.
It’s stored in a drawer when not in use, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

Still in 2 minds regarding getting it serviced. Personally don’t want to leave it until it breaks before getting one, but the could do without dropping 600 notes at the mo on it, especially if it’s not really needed as yet.

@smith, cleaned, not polished. I agree it adds to it being ‘my’ watch. I get black marks from the bracelet though, especially in the summer so could do with a clean. Could I just do this myself with toothbrush and fairy liquid?

I inherited it from my late father, had no idea he owned it until he passed away. Nearly sold it on originally as was in some debt at the time. So glad I ended up holding on to it.

Just to add, without getting it serviced you won’t know if it’s water tight, so clean the bracelet only.
