Would you send for service?

Curious to know the hive's mind here.

Here are the conditions:

It's a circa 2013 watch (I can't be exactly sure) that likely sat in the OB's case for nearly a decade before selling. As a result, even though it's a bit long in the gear-tooth (so to speak), it's got loads of warranty left.

It's keeping COSC time, but right on the margins---by my lights losing almost exactly 4 seconds a day on the wrist. (Knowing how COSC works with positional variation, I'm assuming this would be considered within standards.) No problems, really.

Why I'm considering a service: because it's an approx 10-year-old watch and that seems like good practice (re lubricants and seals) even if it didn't run for most of that time... no? Also, I'm coming up on a 3-week period when I won't be able to wear it anyway, so if I'm going to do this, might as well do it when it'll be less painful not to have it around.

Why I'm hesitant: since the watch has no real issues, I have to assume this service won't be covered by warranty. And since it's a precious metal annual calendar, I suspect the service will not be cheap. (At least $800.) So it could pay to wait until (perhaps) something goes wrong---not that I want that to happen---and thereby hold off for a warranty service that will be free.

TIA if you have thoughts to share.

And a nod to the pictures-or-it-didn’t-happen culture of OF. After a quick lume charge.

Servicing a watch is the best practice always. Go to closest Omega Boutique and ask for a quotation, if you decide to do so, be prepared for a long wait (that's the only downside). Also it's a good practice to take a lot of picture before shipping it.

If you're planning to have Omega service it anyway I say wear it as is and service it in 5 years. Omega will replace any worn parts due to lack of lubricants anyway included in the service cost. If anything happens in the meanwhile you have your warranty. If I was servicing it now as preventative maintenance I'd prefer to use an independent at a lower cost, probably faster turnaround, and probably better service than Omega, but then you void your warranty anyway. I say leave it.

I'm with Aroxx even though the lubes will be drying up and I sympathise with your conundrum.
I would be inclined to wear a watch like that occassionally then service it with Omega near the end of the 5 year warranty unless it starts to display any issue that indicates it needs a service or needs investigation in the meantime.
I expect Omega would address any issues and install any updated parts in the usual manner.

I overlooked one thing in my last post.

Congratulations, that's a very lovely watch😀

Cheers!

I asked a question very similar to yours in another thread. The only difference is you bought a 2013 watch new from an AD, I bought a 2015 new from grey market. So you have the added wrinkle of a warranty. I don’t have a warranty other than the crappy grey market one.

just curious what you decided to do…

Still thinking. But leaning toward not servicing. Mainly because of the cost—since the watch has no issues, I’m assuming it’ll be at least $800.

I would go to the boutique and see what they suggest as they will have more experience with others who might have waited as long for a service, but also as the saying goes.. "if it ain't broke.."
