Now and then gifting some out to family and friends and today have a decent little collection of close to 100 watches. LOL :D

How much is it costing you per year in servicing???

I don't service anything till it shows a need and then it depends on the watch. If you take care of a Auto or handcraker well you should not need to do anything at all for a good 25 to 30 years if the watch is built well if not longer.

What is "taking care of?"  I mean, other than avoiding impacts and liquids?  I thought it was some hard-and-fast rule that you had to service these things every 5 years.  You're saying that's not the case?
