How often do you service your watches? Do you go to the company or to any ole watch repair place? What does it cost? I have a watch that's like $2000. Wear it multiple times a week and it runs well. Just curious what people really do

A lot of the manufacturers recommend service every 10 years. I’ve only ever serviced watches that developed problems. The service cost can be pretty expensive and will depend on what needs to be done and the cost of anything that needs to be replaced.

I do 10 years. No polish. Unless something is off before then or I’ve damaged it in some way.

I had a Rolex GMT II that I bought new in 2006 serviced in 2023. The service cost $1800 at the AD (which was Tourneau). The good thing about them is that they have a lot of branches around.

I get mine serviced whenever they need it - when time keeping gets noticeably off or something is broken.

Mine stopped working before I took it in. They guaranteed it for two years.

I have not serviced any of mine yet, some are 10+ years now, but I rotate them often so they get light use in average. All of them keep time perfectly right. Not sure if I still should take them because of oils drying and so on, but it's just too cumbersome for them to be shipped to Switzerland and back

That makes sense.

So, I’m interviewing for a position that fits perfectly, HR likes my profile, had great conversations with them. Today I had a Panel interview with HR and the hiring manager. The manager is not experienced, it’s her first r manager role and she’s been in it for 3 months. I was prepared but was out of breath the entire interview, had a knot in my throat, had trouble finding my words. It’s like I had PTSD when this manager came into the picture. Ever had that?

Why would a luxury watch brand make/sell connected or smart watches? What is the business reason for it? To me it just kills the brand value. For instance I was a big fan of Montblanc but after I see their smart watch line up I instantly devalued the brand in general. Same for Tag (tag is questionable anyways), or Breitling. What is your opinion on this topic?
