What about maintaince of the time piece? You can do it like Rolex advises every few years, or get it serviced if it gains or looses more seconds then you would expect or it shows some other indication that something is amiss.
Cost depends on where you get it serviced. Dealer, independant watchmaker, Service Center depending on references. Service cost can be shock.

Storage? Around your wrist and otherwise in a good safe.

A watch winder? Only if you plan to switch watches every few days.

Insurance? Check standard coverage to see if you can get it insured without additional cost.

Anything else one should consider? Depending on how old the watch is, you could consider the cost of a new bracelet or send it to Michael Young. My dad got a new bracelet after using it 24/7 for thirty years.
Maybe water resistance every few years? For the older plexiglass models that also means a new glass as I was told.
