So, what am I misunderstanding? These annual pressure tests that members are advising...do you all mean 10 BAR dry tests? Or am I expected to pay for a full service and be without my watch 4-6 weeks per year just to keep its waterproof rating?

This is unnecessary and no component watchmaker would advise this
Have the watch serviced every 5 years, at which point the seals are replaced. They are then good for the next 5 years. You've then got nothing to worry about.
