5 Signs It’s Time to Service Your Watch

Your watch is more than just a timepiece — it’s an investment. But like any fine machine, it needs regular care. Here are 5 signs that your watch is due for a service.

1. It’s Losing or Gaining Time
   If your watch is off by more than a few seconds a day, it’s a clear sign that the movement needs attention.
2. The Crown Feels Stiff
   A sticky or hard-to-turn crown often indicates internal wear that should be addressed by a professional.
3. Condensation Under the Glass
   Fog or moisture inside the crystal means the seal has failed. This needs immediate attention.
4. Unusual Noises
   Rattling or grinding sounds from inside the case are never a good sign. Get it checked.
5. It’s Been Over 5 Years
   Even if everything seems fine, most experts recommend a full service every 5-7 years.

Regular maintenance keeps your watch accurate, preserves its value, and ensures it lasts for generations.
