Yes, very timely. I just bought an Omega Seamaster Chronograph from the original owner who never had it serviced. It was purchased new in early 2005, so going on seven years. It runs, operates and looks like new. I suspect it wasn't worn daily (as one of 3 watches, will only see part time duty here too). I love this watch.

I called a reputable repair shop just yesterday to inquire about cleaning/lube, etc. I was quoted $475 assuming nothing needs repair. I think I'll also take the advice here and enjoy it until it "needs" service. My old Rolex was sent in at the 10 year mark with daily use. Came back looking like new (polish), but never appeared to "need" service. Lesson learned.
