Re: The necessity (or not) of servicing
In Response To: Re: The necessity (or not) of servicing ()

: Thank you very much. I'll wait a year (or more!) before considering
: servicing.
: I wear it every day (and have done so for most of these nearly
: forty years), but it hasn't been worn in rough conditions (if
: that matters).

If it was a Seamaster that you dove with on a regular basis, I'd take it in just to make sure the seals and gaskets were still pristine enough for diving. But if it's not heading to the depths and running well to boot, there is no reason to take it in yet. Especially if it's gaining less than a second a day! Instead of taking it in for service, you might want to just call that watchmaker and thank him for the due dilligence he put in to getting it running that perfectly ;-)
