My 16610 (own it since new, bought in 1995) haven't been service for about 8 years and its still keeping COSC accuracy, so haven't decided to send it for service. Latest cost and lead time of servicing by Rolex will be about $600 and 5-6 weeks of waiting (so I read); private watchmen cost might be 1/2 - 2/3 of that and probably 1-2 weeks of waiting. Hope this helps.

I see, yeah around every 7-8 years seems like a good compromize, i'll try ask the nearest AD what the price would be for it and decide based on that hahah :p

It was just "some guy", yeah i wanna do it right if i end up sending it in. It's just a hassle since there's none in my country.

Yeah might as well get it sorted now rather than later.
