I have one vintage mid-1950s Bulova Clipper watch (pictured), which I cherish (it was my grandfather's). I think I've caught the bug to collect a few other Bulovas.

I want to wear my grandfather's automatic Bulova watch made in 1956 to a funeral. It hasn’t been serviced in at least 50 years. I would have it on my wrist for about 3 hours. How much damage would I do the movement in that period of time if I wear it? The watch has been stored in a air conditioned bedroom and has never been worn during that time.
