One day though, one day. Either a Saxonia thin or the 1815. Can't go wrong with either one.

ALS recommend a service schedule of 5-7 years but I don't see why you couldn't stretch it to 10-12 depending on usage and how it runs.

I've seen 30+ year old watches still run without a service. Of course once the service comes more parts will need replacing and it could get costly. 500-1200 for a Saxonia thin service is what I'd expect.

Thanks for the feedback on servicing. So I could give in 10 years, then drop a grand. Not bad at all! I’m sure the super complicated models are pretty pricey.
