Mine just came back from it's first service after 5 years. Typically it is recommended to have your watch serviced every 5 years. So for an 89, that should be around 4 services. Now this one that you need, the 1400 is high. What's included in the service? Specifically, what is being repaired? I have a friend whose GMT Master is 45 years old. The thing is still going strong. I plan on servicing my Rolex when it needs it as I fully intend on keeping this watch the rest of my natural life. I paid 3800 for it new in 2004 and to replace it would cost me 5800. I think having it serviced in 5 year intervals is well worth it especially since the watch will be as good as new when you get it back.
