Furthermore, I read somewhere recently that because Omega has increased the recommended service intervals of their Co-Axial movement watches, Rolex has changed their recommendation to 7-years to remain more competitive in that area.

I serviced my Omega at 7.5 years, and would have waited longer, except that it was losing time. Service was still reasonable, and no major repairs were needed.

Agreed!! I rotate my collection ( about 10-12) daily or weekly. Just getting my first watch serviced at RSC...and I got that in 99.
