I commented that I'd probably wait until my Planet Ocean started showing signs of needing service (poor timekeeping) rather than preventative servicing every 7 years as recommended by manufacturer. Got this comment in response, wondering what our little group here thinks of this:<br />
<br />
"The standard Seiko automatic movements are made for people who don't know mechanical watches and understand the fact that they need to be serviced. Seiko in all their wisdom made the movements pretty much idiot proof that you can run them till they stop running. Fine Swiss watches are not made the same as the Seiko movements in that like a car they need oil changes on a regular basis. If you run the Omega movement till the point it shows it needs servicing, beyond it losing time outside of an expectational amount (-15 seconds a day?), it will run you up a bill for servicing due to the parts needing to be replaced. With the Co-axial you need to have it serviced every 7 - 10 years depending on the amount of wear during that time. Being watch collectors we let our watches sit for periods of time without running so I'd say every 9 to 10 years Co-axial movements need servicing. If a watch is worn almost daily and usually spends no time without running then I'd send it in at the 7-year mark or when it starts to keep time outside of COSC specs. "<br/>
