hi

yes your watch does need servicing, they seem to keep going for longer than automatics but in the end they do need a little tlc. the quartz module for this watch is still available from any good watch parts supplier for about £35ish, so you can just get the watch repairer to fit a new movement for about the same price as a service. to keep it original, do remember to get him to swop over the cover (on the osscilator i think) that has heuer printed on it.

good luck
