I have a 32 year old Seiko automatic that has been run over by a car, lost for six months in the mountains (found in the spring with a metal detector)dropped, kicked and basically abused more than any watch should be.
I've had the crystal replaced twice. Making a short story longer, the back has never been opened. It has never been serviced. It cost $95.00 brand new in 1970. It still keeps perfect time. The chrono push pieces are a little stiff, but still works perfectly.
I think sometimes we hear so much about servicing, that we forget just how remarkable these little machines can be. I mean, think of this. They haven't really improved on them much in 300 years!!
