Many manufacturers' manuals recommend servicing every 2 to 3 years to check on the seals and lubricants. Rolex recommends every 5 years. Panerai says every 3 years or so.
Just my opinion...but isn't it in the best interest of the manufacturer to have all their watches come in every 2 or 3 years for a $400 - $600 hit regardless if they need it or not...the business man in me says "GREAT IDEA", the WIS in me says "RIPOFF"....again IMO, I tend to trust the independent watch maker that says it is not required than the manufacturer that is trying to suck more $$$out of me.
