Thanks Vanessa, very timely and to the point. It saddens me to see that people that are ready to pay 4K USD or more for one of the best mechanical watches on the planet which they should know need maintenance. Then they squirm when they have to pay a highly trained professional around USD$500 to service it every 5 years. Even worse people who have achieved a position in life that can afford to purchase any one of these fine mechanical time pieces decides they don't need maintenance till they stop. To those people I say buy a quarts watch, spend USD$100 or less every two years or so to change the batteries and be happy.
