Good morning and Greetings from Bahrain !

I have recently purchased a 1973 Omega Speedmaster. I am extremely happy with it and blown away with the details on the dial as well as the amazing bracelet.
I have read that it is quite difficult to have these watches serviced because of the complex movement and age of the watch.
Living in Bahrain also has its challenges.
I would appreciate any help with advising a reliable service center please.
The watch its self is running perfectly and keeping outstanding time, would you experts advice just leaving it alone, it is in excellent condition. Pictures because we all love them ! (Serial number on the case back is L-280)

I would say that if it's running very well and keeping good time I would leave as is. It a very good looking watch and good luck with it.

Your watch is a very nice piece with early caseback code, so even rarer. Would keep the wear of the case and have just serviced the movement, which is cal 1041, which is just chronometer version of 1040, which is in fact Lemania 1340. So parts can be found still, if needed.
Also should be serviceable by any watchmaker. I can`t give you any exact service center in your area, unfortunately.
