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?
All depends on the watch. A quality well built watch should not need it in 5 or even 10 years service unless there is a problem with it.
My Grandfathers Rolex was not serviced for 36 years when it went to my dad. It was still fine and within COSC. But my dad serviced it just to be safe. And that is why many folks do it in 5, 10 or 15 year periods just to be safe. I've been told by a few watch repair guys now that really is not needed though. Kind of like the old saying. "If it ain't broke don't fix it" A quality watch with regular wear should out last you.
