I've been after a gen SMP Black (i.e. non-Bond 2254.50) for quite some time and managed to bag myself a good condition model from eBay last week to replace my 2531.80. It's a lovely sports watch, but I suspect it is in need of a service as it's losing 10s a day which is well outside COSC specs.
My conundrum is - I've seen a decent Swiss ETA rep on Timeshop here http://www.timeshops.net/product.php?id_product=1303. Is it worth having the watch serviced and regulated (for what could be £160+) or should I put it back on eBay and hopefully make a small profit and buy the rep (expecting 3-4 years of use before I replace it with another)?
I know it's personal preference, but I really can't make up my mind. Help!
