I bought my husband a pre-owned submariner from Overstock.com. It came with a one year warranty on the inner watch movement only. I had an authorized rolex dealer confirm it is real. I was told that it was made in 1995.
Given its age, and not having any original paperwork, I worry that it may need serviced. Overstock says it is refurbished, but I don't know what that means. Since Overstock has warrantied the inner watch movement for one year, would you have it serviced now or wait until the warranty expires?

Very nice of you!

There are two sides to your question on the Forums as you'll find out as soon as others start chiming in.

To answer your question - I would.

My opinion is, regardless of the 1 yr movement warranty and "refurbishing" having a service done on a 10 yr old timepiece would offer peace of mind as well as paperwork and a starting point.
