My jeweler recommends a pressure test each time the watch is opened. Last weekend, I had my Breitling Military Colt serviced due to an occasional unexplained stop. It had been **severely** abused two weeks prior to the extent the battery may have popped out of the well and retaining spring. The watchmaker relubed the o-ring, replaced the battery and added a spacer, lubed the crown's drive and pressure tested the watch to 6.511 BAR for 70 seconds. He's not a Brietling authorized service agent, so he noted the amount of space inside the watch - designed more for an automatic movement than a quartz movement. He was concerned about the amount of airspace inside the watch - actual condensation for a dive type watch. He recommended the next opening involves complete servicing - every six years. HTH
