3520.53 movement help

All,

I purchased a 3520.53 recently and it was said to have been serviced Jan 2024. Previous owner said that start/stop pusher was replaced during service.

After all day at work, amplitude is around 225-240 with the rate being -12/+3 with up to 0.5 beat error.
After a 30-45 minute walk it was more wound and has amplitude of up to 282, with rate no more -6 and the beat error 0-0.2.

Chrono on/off is about 18* amplitude difference with sometimes only 0-6* difference.

Just wondering if I should be concerned about the movement health and get it serviced again while it still may have a warranty on the service. Don’t want to take the caseback off since it’s a snap one and I don’t have the tools to correctly press it back on.

Thanks,
Deacon

When you say 'said to be serviced in Jan 2024' does that mean you have seen no proof? If not, then assume it was more likely last served in Jan 2010.

No proof, seller just said it was serviced by omega Jan of 24. He didn’t provide any documentation of that

And sellers never lie do they?

Sorry if I sound cynical but it is a fact that a service without papers usually never happened. Maybe he had a pusher changed by his local bodger but as for the rest...

ps the amplitude figures you quote are low, assuming you are reading them right with the correct lift angle, the beat errors high and it seems like it isn't quite self winding as efficiently as it should too.

That’s fair haha.
It seems to run okay other than not winding well. Lift angle is set to 50.
I’ll look into getting it sent off
Thank you
