I only have watches serviced that are worth to be preserved. Nothing value related, but more their history. So I won't have an Alpha or parnis serviced, but I did get some vintages cleaned and oiled that costed less than the Alpha's.

In terms of value I'm probably going to making 1+1=1, but nonetheless I've a couple of pragmatic reasons for getting these serviced aside from the nice histories behind all three eg where do I buy a new 8mm-thick datefree manual, without spending on a utterly different plane?

I have several watches I am trying to get serviced for people in my family.
My dad's Connie is going to ABC Watchwerks. I need to contact a few watchmakers about servicing a pocket watch and a ladies wristwatch that my sister got from our grandmother.
I should probably send my Olma out for servicing later this year too.

I received a neat 1980 Raketa Olympic in the post yesterday and the plastic crystal is a) nasty and b) not connected to the case for the full 360 degrees of its circumference.
I'm waiting for a response from the seller with a bit of a refund and then (once my period of abstinence is over) I'll be sending it off for some new plexiglass and possibly a service

Just got my IWC 3548 back from an IWC full service and reconditioning, but that is all I have done lately.
Everything else works just fine.
