It's a grand complication so service is going to be more frequent and expensive than simpler pieces. That being said I think I only serviced it once in 7 years.
Compared to your Rolex my guess is you'll wear the 5140 more as an occasion watch rather than a daily driver. But ymmv.
Final comment: I hope your eyes are good because the subdials are small.
Good luck. It's an amazing piece! One of the thinnest grand complications ever made.

Thank you for the great feedback!
Why former owner if I may ask?
