Hi friend how are you? I want to ask you something. I have this watch but when ı winding manually, it is too hard to rotate. is it normal for this watch?
Hello. Yes, vintage watches tend to be more stiff to rotate than new ones. But some times it could be more difficult because it needs some lubrication. The reason is that the older watches used non synthetic oil, and with time it dries up, a watch service may fix it for you. Having said that, don’t expect to have it like a new watch. Mine has been lubricated recently bc i got it from a watch service store, and they did it @ the end of last December, so it is not so stiff. But it will never be like a new modern watch. I would recommend not to force the mechanism and take it to service. Hope this helps!
Stunning. These vintage Longines Ultra-Chron watches are amazing.
Awesome timepiece. Classic
Preciosa pieza. Muy bien trabajada ❤
