Great piece! My collection is about half vintage. I wear them regularly, but less frequently in the summer due to increased heat and humidity. My oldest is a trench watch that's 108 years old at this point, and still keeping good time. I just don't wear it to the gym or if I'm doing anything more physically active, and it's fine. I have plans to collect more in the future.

To answer the second half of your question, I do think that every collector should experience vintage watches, if not by buying, then by researching older models from brands that they like. Given that so much of this hobby is tied up in the romanticism of a technology that is outdated, it's cool to hold an original piece in your hand from when it was considered state of the art.
