great video. I had a vintage Omega Seamaster that I bought from a dishonest watch seller in eastern Canada. I washed the dishes and the whole watch fogged up. he told me the watch had been completely oiled, serviced and all the gaskets changed. he also told me the watch was 100% original and was water tested to be water resistant to 100 meters I knew he was lying when he said he water tested the watch to 100 meters. a 1962 Omega Seamaster is NOT waterproof, but I thought I could wash the dishes. I never got the watch wet but the steam got inside I took it to my regular watchmaker and he opened the watch. it turns out the watch had the wrong gaskets in it and they were all dried up, the watch was completely dry and never serviced, and the crown was the wrong part for that year I ended up returning the watch but not without a lot of name calling and accusations on his part. I later found him on several watch forums where other people had nightmare experiences with their purchases as well. seems he had so many complaints that he was copying and pasting his answers to everyone because there were so many. that's why the font size and style kept changing in all his emails. he's banned on all watch forums the only watch that has never given me any problems and I can trust taking a shower or washing the dishes is Rolex. I don't trust anything else anywhere near water. especially if it doesn't have a screw down crown and back

Again, a superlative video. I am getting a ton of complements on the Jaeger LeCoultre creamy dial dress watch from the forties.

You deserve so much more attention. Thanks a lot for your videos!

Steam and cooking, alongside perspiration. I must remember that. I have an Atlantic with gaps between case and caseback.

Very helpful! Thank you for the reminder!

I swim with my vintage watches. See my latest video how I swim with a vintage watch in Miami Beach. If your watchmaker replaces all rubber gaskets and pressure tests your watch then go ahead and swim with it!

Weather, Water-resistance and Wintage Watches 😀👌

Enjoyed ofc as always🎉🎉🎉🎉

can a vintage datejust 36 mm 1969 year if serviced can still be made water resistant ?

Can you do a video on how to store vintage watches?

That's the big lie, or false atvertisment - 5atm is a clearly defined physical pressure. A movement doesn't affect the result much. 5atm mark should be good for withstanding 5atm pressure.

I've got a 1970 Fortis Marinemaster Supercompressor with a 200M rating on the dial and even though I've had it serviced and all o-rings replaced, it's not going anywhere near water. I've got cheap G-shocks for that sort of thing.

Just take the watch to a watchmaker and ask to check the water resistance. He will tell you what you can do.

You haven’t answered to the mail I sent you last week..
