Omega Planet Ocean 2500D / to service or not?

I just picked up a Planet Ocean 2500D last week, in near mint shape. It is keeping amazing time at just 1/2 second fast per day so I’d rather not get it serviced if I don’t need to.

My question is around water resistance. Since it is the 2500D movement, it was probably manufactured in 2011. I’m assuming it was never serviced.

I have no interest in diving with it but should I assume it has no water resistance or just less than it’s full 600m?

Thanks!

i ran into this smp300. My kid too was fascinated with the looks of this watch, so i negotiated…

Tried on a couple of the new Seamsters at the brand new Omega Boutique in Boston

Went to Boston today for my wife’s birthday. I was allowed to stop into one store for myself lol. I really wanted to try on a couple of the new Seamasters on the Milanese bracelet. The first one was the one that held the most interest for me. The grey dial with the titanium bezel. I loved this watch, and also the bracelet. However, I find the lighting in most and watch and jewelry stores does not lend itself well to photography. And because of the face and bezel on this watch, I believe…

Not a huge range of watches for me this week. I wore the Explorer last weekend;

The drink is just a Sanbitter, an Italian soft drink/soda/aperitif made by San Pellegrino. It was a stinking hot 36 degrees (Celsius) last Saturday and I must’ve had about five or six of these in an attempt to stave off the heat.
Next day…
