Tag F1: 7 year old seals, time to replace?
Hi, curious on what you folks think. This watch was last given all new seals in December of 2012. I had it pressure tested once in the summer of 2016 and it passed without issue. I don't wear this watch diving or swimming, but I do like to wear it from time to time and am planning to wear it more. Should I have all of the seals replaced this time, or simply pressure test again? The watch is a chronograph, if that makes a difference and is one of the second gen(1999) F1s.

Tested, and if it sees nothing more than dishwater and the shower, then you can probably bank on it being okay for another year or two of the same usage.
By that stage, you may feel/see signs that it could do with a service, in which case the seals will be replaced also. |

Yeah, the most it ever sees is a rainstorm.
