Very nice!

Please excuse the newbie question but how do you know when it's time for an overhaul? When it no longer stays wound if kept for days on a winder? I have a 5513 non-COSC that I've worn daily but have started leaving on a winder in favor of a GMT IIc that I recently acquired, and notice that it seems to lose time at a rather great rate compared to when I was wearing it every day. I figure it must not be getting wound up all the way. Time for a renew?

The crown was ratcheting a little so new something wasn't as it should be, plus the watch is over 10yrs old and to my knowledge has had no prior service to me owning the watch. Am over the moon with the watch and wouldn't hesitate in sending it off again in another 5/6 years or so. If you feel yours needs one just send it off, when you get it back I promise you it will be like wearing a new watch. Many thanks, Mark
