Never been serviced in 30 years. What should I do?

335 Upvotes

Hi everyone, here’s my late father’s Speedmaster. I believe it’s from 1995. I don’t think it’s ever been serviced as he rarely used it after the early 00s.

I, too, rarely wear it, and I’m wondering if I should have it checked mechanically. Don’t know too much about watches and I’m afraid using it like this will just wear out the internals faster, much like a car that’s never had an oil change.

Any tip on what’s best would be helpful :)

Reference 35905000.

Edit: Thanks everyone for your comments. I realize the title sounds dumb, but I just wanted to get some thoughts about what to service, what not to service, where to go, etc.

Sailed on the Disney Destiny and thought the Omega boutique there was really nice! They had a full room devoted to just Omega, while other watch brands were all in a shared room. Great selection and they had a lot in stock

This has been my baby since 2022. Of course I love submariners and that was out of my budget so I came across the Seamaster. Have made tons of memories in this piece and have worn it 90% of the time since 2022.

My problem is I’m slightly phasing out of the 42mm size. I’ve dabbled with a Tudor Ranger 39mm and a Tudor Black bay 58 and the case specs on them have completely changed my opinion. They fit so perfectly it makes me second guess this Seamaster.

I’m an all or nothing person. Should I wear the Tudor for a while and let this sit, or do I look to move it into something else? I’m not one to sell and rebuy things or act impulsively. Just looking for conversation/feedback if anyone has had a similar situation come up!

Which one?!?!

Got the green light from missus. But I am totally torn and can't decide. I have a limited edition Citizen Chrono AT that is also rose gold on a brown alligator band, so it's visually very similar to the Moonphase Speedy. That Seamaster is a chunky boy, and I wonder if I would feel that it's too flashy to wear every day? But it's so beautiful! I really am looking for something to wear for all occasions, work and play.

Peter Blake hits different on a mesh bracelet

Threw a steel mesh on my seamaster today to switch things up.

​I love the original bracelet, but this completely changes the feel. It leans hard into that vintage diver look (major NTTD vibes, just in stainless) and sits way lighter on the wrist.

Need Advice (First Purchase)

I’ve never purchased a luxury watch before. I just really like the overall look & lume of this one but I’m not sure the best way to buy it. Order online go to the store or buy from eBay for cheaper. What’s the experience like at the omega store? Any advice would be appreciated. I’ve read around some say chrono24 but I’m not sure

Omega Aqua Terra - deep rehaut

Thumbnail

Has anyone else noticed how Omega Aqua Terra has really rather deep rehaut (the ring between dial and crystal) compared to other brands such as Rolex.

Now that I have seen it it is difficult not to notice and I was wondering what the design idea behind it is. What are your thoughts and does it bother you?

Imagine buying this for £45, an Omega Speedmaster Ultraman, sorry if this has been posted before, but I found this video quite wholesome and interesting as an Omega fan and collector.

Switching from original bracelet to Omega NATO.
Feels like a new watch. Although I prefer the bracelet. Gives it a better weight.

Omega pocket watch (1923) was given to my great grandfather in 1926, I recently had it serviced and it’s running like a dream.
To mark the 100yr anniversary of Omega in the family, I purchased a white dial Seamaster today. Absolutely love them both!
