Depends on what is sent for me.

What watch are you sporting today, Fren?

It depends on the price of your local watchmaker; I would NOT take it to an Omega AD. Prices for servicing should be between 200-400 USD since it's a simple movement (i.e. non chronograph or date complication). After you sort out the price, the next thing you should consider is how often you will wear it, and if having it tell the correct time will matter to you when you have it on.

If you only want to wear it for 'occasions', then what I'd suggest now is winding it up and wearing it for a day to see how it holds time. If it holds within 15 seconds or so, then don't bother to service it. If it is outside of that range, service it.

The problem with having a watch that is 'ready to go' but isn't being worn is that the lubricants evaporate over time, so it'll eventually need care even if you don't wear it. So you have to ask yourself whether it's worth servicing it now or not bothering. If you wear it twice a year and don't care what kind of time it keeps, then don't service it.

Does that make sense? Sorry it's so round-about. Maybe I should put it this way:

Service it if:
1) You plan to wear it regularly (i.e. more than twice a week).
2) If it runs way out of spec (i.e. more than +/- 15 seconds per day).

Don't service it if:
1) You plan to wear it once or twice a year.
2) You don't care about how well it holds time when you wear it.

Does that make sense?
