PO 2500 never been serviced but runs great. "Preemptive service?"

My car doesn't have oil 😉
I'm going by what the OB told me. I would think if they recommended a service now they would have said so. Instead he said you'll probably need a service in a year or two, Your watch won't just start losing time. It will be very noticeable and likely wind up with a new movement or mostly new parts. Of course a car dealership, which makes significant revenue from their maintenance department would probably advise service even sooner than some of the intervals in the manuals, and I have my Diesel sprinter service even sooner than the manual states.

So perhaps it's an issue of new parts vs "maintenance." I don't know why else he wouldn't pitch a service on a 13 year old watch.

If you send it to Omega, the service price is a flat fee, no matter what internal parts they replace. So there is abolutely NO point in sending it in before you actually need to because of time keeping problems. You'll get the watch back in exactly the same condition as if you'd sent it in "preemptively".

Excellent watch to own. The first generation PO watches had great proportions. The 2500 movement had early issues, but they were sorted by Omega. If you want to keep this watch, send to Omega Service, they will install any updates to the movement and you will have a solid runner for the long term. These watches run like a train when they are dialed in. You mentioned yours maybe from 2007 so there were updates to the movement after that year. Your watch looks to be in amazing condition for the age.

As @tyrantlizardrex says, remember that some parts such as seals are crucial for keeping the integrity of the watch safe and having a flooded watch repaired as opposed to serviced is a different matter.

If I remember correctly, parts such as a new dial or new hands are not normally covered by the "flat rate" Omega provides, but I may be wrong.
