In Response To: Speedy Pro Question ()

My opinion is that it really depends on if its displayed in a cabinet or in the window of a store. I picked my Seamaster AT from a cabinet because windows can store a lot of heat, especially in the summer. It's more likely to be unhealthy than healthy for a watch to be exposed to such heat for a long time, but like you said, your watch is running fine.

:My dealer had this watch on display for nearly
: a year before I purchased it.
: Is there any chance that it could have dried
: out and requires a service. The watch is
: running fine, looses 2 seconds during the
: day and gains 1 second(face down) at night.
