Many repairs will not be cheap, as msot likely they will require replacement of non-standard parts (unlike most late model watches). Antique watches should not be beaten or dropped because repairs may be expensive.Antique watches are generally not waterproof. This is because waterproofing was not in general production until the middle of the 20th century for most watches. Therefore you should protect your antqiue watch from exposure to moisture. If your watch becomes wet it should be dried off quickly. Carefully open all covers and use a hair drier to blow dry the movement, dial, covers, crown. This will reduce the amount of rust. If your watch becomes wet with any kind of salt water you should immediately immerse or spray your watch with fresh (no-salt) water to remove all the salt from the works ebfore drying the watch completely.
