It's what I hate about automatics/mechanical.
They aren't as accurate, and require servicing.
Can it also effect the value of watches (high end) if they don't have a service record?

I would imagine so.
Yes, though a recent service is of more importance than a 'full' service history
e.g. a 30 year old watch that had a full service last year (and nothing before that) will likely be worth more than a compatible watch that was serviced every 3 years for the first 20 or so years, but nothing in the last 8-10 years.

If it's Rolex,AP etc a recent service with all relevant paperwork will keep the price at a premium. I've seen rare Rolex go for crazy prices looking as if they'd been in the bottom of a drain for a few decades.
I did hear that particularly Rolexs, people prefer them with surface scratches etc and not having had them re-polished!
I like Lum-Tec, but I've finally found a good field watch so can't justify getting another... Or can I???Still find myself going back to my LumTec Combat B53 'Max Darkness' even though it's quartz. Although it can be tough to quick-glance the time off at times because of the colour scheme on the dial, it's built like a brick
and keeps excellent time and now that I've got it off their included NATO (way too stiff, went with the ColaReb Firenze Grey leather one
) that sealed it. I may be a stan for big date functions too, I've come to realize. They can be hit or miss with some of their designs, like all watch makers, but I think you'd dig them as your field watch of choice if you did find one you like @verreauxi . Usually limited runs and great warranty too, for those of us in the States...although I've yet to have to make use of it.

Quite possibly the most ugliest watch that I have ever seen!
It literally looks like someone has melted down the crown jewels and then puked them up all over your wrist.

Donald Trump’s $100,000 watches: his tackiest, most extortionate merchandise yet?
He has sold gold sneakers, Bibles, commemorative coins and digital trading cards – and now the former president is flogging a range of timepieces

It Sure Looks Like Trump Watches Are Breaking Copyright Law
The company behind Trump Watches prominently features an iconic image of the presidential candidate on its timepieces. There’s one big problem: It’s not allowed to.

Bloody hell, it's nicer than the atrocious Richard Mille things people wear.
Those things look like market tat.

Agreed. They look like one of the things you'd get out of a "claw" prize machine. Both the Tr*mp and Mille junk.
With only 147 being made you will probably find that when he's eventually assassinated those watches will rise in value massively!!Anybody considering purchasing one of these bad boys:

I find myself liking these Zenith Defy Skyline watches more and more. The small "second hand" is probably the most useless but fun-to-look-at complication ever, as it makes one revolution in 10 seconds. Plus, I just like this ice-blue dial.
This guy does a nice review of it:

This watch rightly won a prestigious award last night in Switzerland at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève. It won the "mechanical exception" award as in the gears/springs that power this watch do amazing things!
Like his snarky reviews; found a while back for a Glashuttte one, which I posted in here I believe ('Eye of Sauron').
