@Dendrobatus_Azureus @stefano

Watches on this level are designed and manufactured to work for decades and decades. It's not uncommon for watches like this to just work 40 years provided that you sent them to an expert watch maker to maintain them

@span Dendrobatus_Azureus@bsd.cafe @span dendrobatus_azureus@polymaths.social @span stefano this one is 62 years old. It was running fine except for the fact that the aging mainspring could not provide a full day worth of energy anymore. I got it serviced 3 months ago and it is back to peak shape.

@catavz I like the Seiko 5 series. I haven't found a (reasonably cheap and in good conditions) one, yet.

@stefano such a good choice! I had an automatic Citizen (old thing, got it from my dad when I was a kid) and that thing was absolutely indestructible! Tons of scratches and scars but super reliable - I loved it.
Unfortunately I lost it on a beach many years ago 😭

@stefano Oohhh very nice! I like Longines - a very understated design philosophy. I took the plunge and bought myself a mechanical watch for my 60th. Amazing freedom not having to charge my watch every night.

@t3rcermillenium Thank you!
True - no chargers, just time. And hearing the "heartbeat" is a big plus.

@stefano Yeah - there’s something about a mechanical watch…it’s almost like it’s got a soul or a heart…even a personality:-)

@mms I did 🙂 I found it reasonably cheap and in very good conditions, some years ago. And from time to time I love to wear it.
