Given its a 7s26, unless you want to preserve the authenticity of the watch, its probably better to just replace the movement. its less expensive than having it professionally serviced.
How much would servicing cost vs buying a new movement?
Ok, different watch, but my Seiko kinetic 5M43-0E70 got just a new movement, €135 total at Seiko Nl. I guess a 7S26 or replacement is about the same price.
Btw, the 5M43 is now a 5M83, instead of 1 - 2 weeks power reserve it's now up to 6 months
