Are resin watch cases durable?

[Miguel Alvarez]

In particular would a vintage resin watch be durable?

In a roundabout way. Cheers. Back to the drawing board.

Bumped to ask if anyone has any resin watches and how they are after a long period of time. I'm drawn to this watch I keep seeing but am wondering if it will be practical with everyday use.

Hi I have an Aquastar Glasstar that has a resin/ glass fibre one piece case it dates from the mid 70's and is in really good condition, in fact prob better than a steel case of the same age. However I dont think I would wear it for some stuff, its fine for office during the workin week!

My Casio resin case cracked at the pin insert points after a few years of regular use.
