The Service Interval for the Co-Axial is 4-5 years

I posted this on another board but since I've been reading the Chronocentric FAQs I thought I'd correct a misunderstanding here too.

The FAQ states "OMEGA states that their Coaxial models should need routine service only every 10 years."

In fact, both the Omega manual and their website state that all movements shold be serviced every 4-5 years. I also specifically sent an email to their Swiss HQ and was told that the Co-Axial recommended service interval was 4-5 years.

Certainly many owners take an "if it ain't broke don't fix it" approach and I have no problem with that. But the FAQ is incorrect, at least with regard to Omega's current position.
