What is the general rule?
Here is what Rolex actually says... Notice, they do not say " exactly every 5 years...."

Also........ It doesn't matter what some chart says; a chart cannot date your watch closer than 2 or 3 years........... If you bought your watch in 2003, then it is a 2003 watch and no service period needs to be started based on some unknown guess from a chart...
