Do you know how often your uncle has the watch serviced?

Hey Pav, he hasn't gotten it serviced since the day he got it, which is over 20 years ago.

And still running strong... says something about Rolex quality.

I would go and do it before his luck runs out. Just make sure your uncle tells them to keep the 'goodies' original.

Yep, I told him he should take it my trusty watchmaker to check if his gaskets are still good. It would be a shame if he was in the ocean and his watch gets flooded.

And ruin that beautiful dial.... It definitely needs a lube job and gasket change at the least. Do you know if it is keeping good time?
