Rolex servicing is somewhere around the $800-1k mark, not sure about JLC.
Can't compare Rolex and JLC regarding value retention, as most of us know Rolex is king for that. The JLC will drop in value the second you buy it, unless it was some kind of tiny production number limited edition Reverso. The DJ will easily retain / increase it's value in the current market.

Retained value, the nasty words that haunt our watch buying, we ignore or dismiss exciting watches from brands that would serve us well if we gave them a chance but because of those words we follow the heard and insist on watches from the 5 pointed crown.
No I’m not immune to that either, I have a couple of the crown’s watches and they’re great but the more I get into this great hobby (?) the more I realise that there are other great brands out there and this DJ/Reverso debate just highlights the difficulties we have when choosing our next timepiece.
A Rolex and the associated positives and negatives that come with it or a rival with their positives and negatives.
I enjoy wearing my DJ and my Submariner but I know that my next watch will be from another brand, I need variation and that means I accept the positives and negatives that come with that decision.
