I've always worked by the principal that if the watch starts gaining or losing time outside of it's normal operational levels, it's fine and just leave it alone. I guess if you really wanted to be accurate on that you'd get something to measure its beat rate.
If it does start changing it at least needs a new oiling, and that's the time to service it.
Obviously if something happens, like water gets into the watch, you have it serviced asap.
That's my opinion anyway. I'm sure plenty will disagree
The problem is you will still want the Speedy/Seamaster

Fellas - I've been given an old pocket watch and not having much joy identifying make/model/era etc... anyone able to help?
Look at this stunning new Captain Cook Ceramic: https://wornandwound.com/hands-on-with-the-new-rado-captain-cook-high-tech-ceramic/
A shame they opted for polished centre links on the bracelet, it cheapens the look on every watch to my eyes, should always be brushed or satin.
Today I walked around a bit as the weather was basically summer here, first outing in summery weather with the Hamilton and have to say the AR coating is immense. It's not blue tinted like on the Laco so isn't obvious in normal light, but you really appreciate the legibility in the flesh. Not even my Baltics with underside AR coated Sapphire can beat this mineral + double AR legibility and all the more strange how Hamilton chose not to put any AR on the Khaki Field models which do have sapphire :/
.Saw this and thought of you! Actually I initially thought of me but no way I can get another through the acceptance process so soonI would take the glare of a non AR coated sapphire crystal over a mineral, in this instance. Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely looking piece and authentic. However, I'm not a fan of a watch with a mineral crystal when combined with the asking price of this piece. Plexi / Hesalite would have been a better choice IMO.
The lack of AR coating on my Khaki Field took some getting used to and in certain light it is a pain. I think what adds to the problem is that the crystal is domed. It seems to act as a wide angle lens and really capture all surrounding light.
What is bonkers is that both watches have the same movement, but more than double the cost difference. But hey.. This is the watch world we live in and love

I'm touched, but unless it's a Speedmaster Professional with that kind of discount, it's not for me .
