When To Service

[Blubarb]

I have an Omega Speedmaster Cal. 1861 purchased in 2007.  I haven't yet had it serviced and I am starting to feel some guilt. However, the watch is keeping +2 over 24 hours so I am very happy with that and it gets about a months wrist time a year.  I am concerned because I don't want to interrupt what is essentially a good thing right now - I know this can't go on forever.  Anyway, Omega repairers say every 5 years and as long as 10 years for a co-axiel like the SMP or PO.  Anyway can I get your thoughts on it.

Normally the recommended service period is 3 to 5years & I would say that is about correct. 

If your watch starts to act like it needs servicing, then it does.

I would have gone slightly longer, five to seven years, five if an everyday wearer, and seven if worn only occasionally. Don't loose too much sleep about it, but I would schedule one in the not too distant future.

I agree with Geo I was just quoting a watch that was worn 24/7 ( such as my watch)
