Hey All!

New member here..about to purchase my first rep from theonewatches. DJ41 Blue dial. Love the look. Clean factory.

Been doing research for a month now...but quick question. How do you make the watches last? Do you service them when you first receive them? If so where?

I want to hopefully build up my collection and get four by the end of the year but make them last a long time!!

Thanks for reading.

Depends on your personal philosophy.

Some people service it first, most people just use it out of the box.

It definitely can't hurt to get it serviced. But the question if it prolongs longevity is controversial and often the center of heated and passionate debates.

Some think it does help, others believe that replicas are already weaker by design / materials / lower manufacturing standards vs gens and a prophylactic service is a pointless waste of money or at least not making much of a difference.

There's no real standard approach.

Thanks for the response...

In your opinion is it worth it? How much does it usually cost to do a full service on a CF? Will watch makers even take a rep?

Personally, I don't do it.

Unless there are issues with it ...

No need to service them at first.

I will personally just go ahead to use the replica as it is, until if it breaks down, then it will require a nice service

Enjoy the rep community.
