You will get many opinions here. On average every 7 years or so....
Not necessarily what I follow but most popular around here. Ps- polish is never necessary and always a choice! Again not something I would opt for. A movement service and checking seal integrity works for me.....

I like 5 years and keep it polished as my OCD kicks in when I see scratches on my watches

I am from the if it ain't broke don't fix it school.....How controversial of me!! When that happens- they go to the Mr. Bob Ridley Spa for treatment. Nobody else touches my vintage babies!! As for polishing- never.

Overhaul service should be done every 5-7 years... and the polish is completed during the overhaul. I think there really is no point polishing the watch unless you want to...
I usually keep some scotchpad and cape cod polish clothes in preparation of those "sudden" accidents though... |
