Is it worth servicing my 4 year old Quartz Seamaster ??

[LMMAC]

Hi All,

Battery needs changing on my Omega, Was considering a service but is it really worth it on a Quartz? Do not intend on ever selling it.

A well known chain of jewellers have recommended just changing the battery and Omega will report if there is an issue and requires a service etc.

Thoughts and experiences please.

Its your call really. I know what the book says but my watchmaker is never concerned about people leaving it another few years. I do mine on a 7 year rotation as they get used regularly enough. Its when watches sit unused for a few years that they tend to have issues, due to the lubricant creeping out of the wells and drying up. Movement keeps thw oils where they need to be and in good health.

Wouldn't bother – my Ti Seiko Sportura (quartz chrono) is 11 years old. Never seen the inside of the service centre and is running just as well as it has ever done.
Needs a new pusher seal, but £30 will see to that, if I can bother sending it some day.
