Service: Reserve times...Omega Moon...Val 72... Rolex...Others
I track the reserve times of my watches.To tell when they need service.But reserve times can be tracked on all watchesI posted the reserve times on three Omegas movements,I own: 1861 & 1866 & 550 for reference.I also have a rare Doxa (1962?), with a Val 72.Posted bellow: are the reserve some of the reserve times.I plan to send the Val 72 to Dalton Toledo, In LA..Los Angeles, California.Not lower Alabama.To have it serviced, soon.I think the Pivots on the balance are wornThere is a problem.Should be about 42-43 hours ?PM me if you want Dalton's info.I would like to know what reserve times people observe on their speedys.This may help people who are not sure when to service a watch.If the reserve times are consistent.No service is indicated.When they are low, or dropping.This shows a problem, or service is needed.Omega, Rolex and others.posts the reserve times; for reference.No two watches will be the same, in real life.And it will very, by temperature.Thank you for your time and
