As some have said, almost any watch can be a “lifetime watch”.
I have a couple $200 Seikos that are 20 years old which I’ve worn the heck out of. Still ticking away. Still wear them today, even after getting into “luxury” watches.
Get it from a reputable brand, get something you like the look of, and wear it lots.
How often do you service them? I have 1 and I’m wondering is it worth it?
It depends on what you do with it. If you need them to be water resistant getting them serviced every few years is not a bad idea.
Most Seiko’s you don’t need to service until you’re having an issue. Then I would just replace the movement and gaskets.
I would say it’s 5-7min slow every morning…
It’s a sarb0035 no emotional attachment
Dang, that’s too bad. I sold a SARB035 that was +/-5 seconds a day. And I have a SARB033 that’s +/-10 seconds a day.
+-5 sec! That’s nothing
I've got a Seiko that will be turning 50 in a couple of months. It's been serviced, but still runs fine.
Do you service the old Seikos often?
I have an 8 year old skx007 that I have literally never serviced.
I’ve gotten my SKX009 serviced once. Never got the SNZF17 serviced. Both still running perfect.
