Polishing Panerai

[SubKing]

5 years is what i fallow, either way nothing major can happen these days and it could go 10 years with some of these new oils companys use these days almost last forever and don't dry out.. back in the 40's 50's 60' 70's 80's 90's a service every 2 to 3 years made sense, but with the new materials in watches these days, they can last 4 times longer between service.

weather a watch is 2 years since last service or 5 years, the same service is performed, unless there is some damage out of the norm to the watch.. watch companys "suggest" key word is "suggest" you get your watch serviced every 2 to 3 years so they can make more money obviously. but if it gives the consumer a peace of mind then its worth it i say.

but in technical specs, you wouldn't believe some of the new stuff rolex does with their movements.. its amazing the things they come up with... IMO panerai, being new to in house movements still need some work to brush up on, but rolex IMO does some major R&D and comes up with some great things that they put into their watches.

a new rolex model with the new blue spring, those can go 10 years without service and still keep time just as good as the first day you bought it i bet you.

i would service my panerai sooner than i would service my rolex. but thats just me. call me crazyman!!
