Date display a bit "off"
On my Datejust, the date display shows a teeny tiny bit of yesterday's date. So today is the 5th, but I can see a little wee bit of the top part of the "4" in the display, but if I tap it on the crystal the 5th will nicely center itself. Is this to be expected on a 25+ year-old watch or cause for concern? It seems to self-correct with wrist movements throughout the day, so it is really only noticeable before I pick it up to wear it in the morning. Watch works wonderfully otherwise and if I had to quess has never been serviced.

25 years and no service? Show a little mechanical sympathy, and send the poor thing away.
The date shouldn't be doing what it is doing. |

Your watch could really use some TLC in the form of a service. It'd not normal for this to happen!

If it was new I would send it in...
On a 25 year old watch that's functioning well otherwise I would not worry.
