I'm an outlier. I purchased my SS OP over 29 years ago and have never had it serviced, not even regulated. It now gains 1 1/2 minutes a week, so every week I set it behind 45 seconds. I'm fine with the resulting inaccuracy.

YMMV. I suspect that not having any complications helps. Also it probably helps that I don't shower with it so skin oil and grime has totally sealed off the internal mechanisms from the outside by forming a barrier between the crystal and bezel, and bezel and case.

It is my only watch so it has been worn every day except for a 2-3 week hospitalization.
