My Citizen Ecodrive needed the first capacitor change after 17 years of daily wear. Literally zero service to the watch before that.
Also I really really don't buy that this mechanical movement won't need service every couple years like pretty much any mechanical watch out there. Where do you take the decades part from?

- mperham 2y agoFor their newest models, Rolex recommends service once per decade. FWIW, my five year old GMT is running noticeably worse than new in 2020.
