The Inner Sub Revealed

Great review from Time Zone on a 7yr old Sub 3135 movement - Nice close up's and explanations

Also will get anyone sitting on the “should I service” fence to a RSC pronto

Thorough review!

The conclusion is food for thought:

"The early wear is the result of 7 years of use with no service. Unfortunately, many watch owners bypass the advice of the manufacturer to oil and clean the watch periodically. Mechanical watches should be cleaned and oiled every 2-3 years. You will rarely find a watch with no problem after even 5 years without servicing.

The first indications that your watch should be inspected are reduced accuracy and a smaller power reserve. Even if you feel that everything is all right, remember that oil is not eternal - it dissipates over time and parts work dry. The products of wear such as metal dust can affect other parts and spoil their lubrication. It is clear that periodic cleaning and oiling are cheaper than replacing expensive parts."

It's the classic review, with many good points.

Question.. Is that service at 5yr old watch or 5 yrs of wear? I just purchased a D serial GMT pepsi a few weeks ago out of the AD case. Technically, that is almost 3 years old already.
