If yours was serviced in 2015, it could be getting close to another service after 8 years, or you could also wait another 2-5+ years, however long until you see erratic timekeeping or whatever.

I don't believe it's worth spending $2460 total for the service and the bracelet, just to get the bracelet. If you look around on TRF and other watch forums, the 93150 comes up fairly often for sale. Sometimes even a NOS/new one will appear. I remember about 10 years ago I was fortunate to find one stickered in the box from a trusted forum member and it was priced fairly. You could also check with some of the trusted vintage watchmakers as well.
