While there are a lot of opinions existing in the whole wide internet, based on more or less experience and i get asked this question several times,
i would say here is no serious „Yes or No“.
Taking into account what i discovered in the last two decades, there is always a chance that you are out of luck and get a new watch with a faulty / dirty movement.
In these cases the answer is fairly „yes“ to go for it.
On the other hand:
If you buy a new car (even the cheapest ones), would you directly make an appointment with the garage to get it serviced (while not even drive it a few miles)?
I would assume the answer is „No“.
So why doing this with a new watch (unless there is any kind of issue with it)?
Just my two cents
