Re: SMP maintenance
In Response To: SMP maintenance ()

: I purchased a SMP Bond watch last February, and
: like it alot and have had no problems with
: it. As the 1 year warranty is almost up, I
: was wondering if it was worthwhile taking it
: in for servicing.

Generally speaking, an automatic watch should be serviced every 4 to 5 years. I confirmed this with Omega shortly after purchasing my Bond SMP. So unless you have a problem with your watch, and you stated you have not, then you aren't quite due for service yet.

However, if you swim with the watch, you may want to take it somewhere to have it pressure tested to insure the seals are still doing their job. I suggest calling watch makers in your area to see if they have the equipment to do this.
