Just got my watch back from a full service and a repair. Not much change from £800 quid.

But I've worn it every day for 8 years and 11 months, it had the usual scratches on the bracelet and the normal wear and tear etc. Happily to say it's come back in the exact condition as the day I purchased it so no complaints at all. No more scratches, all cleaned up, totally immaculate and so far keeping excellent time.

If I wanted to sell it, I'd get just slightly over the price I paid including the service. So 9 years of wearing a nice watch and I could end up with a (very) tiny profit just for the privilege. But I didn't buy it for an investment so will never sell it anyway.
