I am not a watch collector and I like old stuff, so I am still wearing my Viet Nam era Omega steel Seamaster 120 that must be wound every day. It has been to the shop a few times in the last 45 years to start her up and more than a few times for crystals. It took me a few years to figure out why the new crystals had paint on them almost immediately after replacement, but I finally figured out that it was the low skeet house wall. Yes, I wear it while I shoot and it doesn't seem to bother it. I switch it to my left wrist if I think about it. I have a few family watches, but have always worn the Omega except for a few years when it was down. Is it unusual to have a daily wearing watch still be reliable after 45 years? My Seamaster hasn't had a sealed crystal on it for at least 30 years.
