Help ! Z series Sub quit working..

I've got a stainless sub date.
It's just quit working, and it doesn't
Seem to be winding up with any tension??
Panic has set in.. Thoughts??
Bought pre owned, I'm on vacation
And I'm not sure if it's ever been serviced..

Old ancient proverb...

Will one day see Service..."

I have just the one thought.

Dont wear the watch, wrap it up and when you get home send it off to the RSC for a full service - They will fix it all and it will come back looking totally new.

Thanks Fellas, I spoke to the local AD Here in Destin Fl.
He Reassured Me That Good times were coming , Its because of Joy I'll Experience ,When I open the Box After
They Complete My Service.. Strangely Enough I'm actually a little Excited now. I do love my Sub and I feel Naked Without it . I did Manage to go shop for another Backup yesterday, After some Encouragement From my Wife...�� A new Seamaster might be going home with me .

Even a stopped watch is right twice a day. Service will sort it right out.

A service won’t hurt! It’s more than a decade old.

My 20 year old Tag 6000 is seeing some duty
Until I get this sorted out.. I feel fortunate to have
These kinds of " Problems " I suppose..
Thanks for all of the input... I am curious about
Turnaround for the RSC?

Send it to RSC if you want it done right the first time.

+1. If you bought preowned and were not informed of the service history - if any, would definitely suggest a trip to RSC. Good luck.

Something must be wrong because I have watches much older than that which haven't been serviced yet
