Hi all, I would be really grateful for some help. I'm looking for some advice if possible.
I have a Super Avenger Seawolf Titanium which I bought SH from eBay a year or so ago. It's in great shape, fully complete with all paperwork, certificates etc and its last service docs which was approx 4 years ago. My issue is that if I leave it wound on my watch stand or in my watch case it doesn't lose a second, literally it's accuracy is amazing but if I wear it for the day it loses two or three secs in 24 hours. Should I get it serviced? And if so how much is a service going to cost approximately?.
Thanks in advance for any advise.

Time keeping can vary, for example if the Watch is sat still at different angles, not to mention the the state of wind on the main spring

Yours doesn't need a service

Try sitting it in the Watch box at a different angle and the timing result could be different, yours could run fast for the first 12 hrs then slow for the next 12hrs causing an accurate average time (in Watch Box)

Always go off timekeeping while on the Wrist, yours is within Spec

Thanks Matt, I've just checked and the last service by a MD was 7 years ago in September this year. Yes I have noticed that on average it is correct within a few secs but one day slightly slow and the next slightly fast. I will probably look at a service when the timing gets more erratic. I very much appreciate your advise. :)
