Hi,

How often do you service the an automatic watch and how much does it cost to service it?

I am mulling on buying an automatic watch, however I am not sure if the cost is worth it. My quartz watch is still ok after 16 years. Changed battery about 5 times I think.

since no one reply, i have seiko 5 (2nd hand) only service 2x since 2013. usually around RM120-140 just clean and adjust the accuracy

I see. Thanks

Different watch different answer

Should probably specify which one to get a more accurate answer

Yeah a Seiko 5 is below RM150, but a Tissot would cost more and so on

Frequency of service also depends on usage: only wear for black tie events VS use everyday, wear while golfing etc.

I see. Daily usage, need to service often?

2-3 years should be fine if you dont mind the accuracy (depends on the watch tolerance)

My Maurice Lacroix will cost me RM3000 for basic service without replacement parts.

How long between usage?

They say, which I don't care nor follow... all automatic should be serviced every 5 yrs.

Tag Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 5 (SW200) around RM200+ for normal service, watch about 4 years old

Wah seriously? I don't remember how much my dad paid for his omega and rolex service but i think more or less the same amount you paid for your ML. Btw i paid minor service for my Tag and Seiko for less than 500 only

How to know when it is time to service..

Yeap, heard this too, should bring it for service atleast once every 5 years, they will clean the watch for you in a special machine and oil it up using different grades of oil for different parts.

anyone knows where to service oris?
and how much is it?
i've a seiko 5 also that need to service too

contact Steven. he's trustable and reliable.

You can bring your automatic watch for service when it starts showing signs of inaccuracy.

you watch having many complications? else why RM3k so expensive?

Normal service does not involve complications. They will change the seal, oil the movement, etc. The movement is not simple, hence not easy to service. La Joux-Perret hand/manual winding movement.

Not cheap …almost same pricing as servicing a Daytona already..lolx

I once had 1, the repair n service is so expensive that the watch I left it there since 2010/11
didn't bother to take back

how much to service the el primero high beat chronograph?
