Servicing Question

I tried google, but wasn't able to find my answer (maybe I didn't try hard enough)

If a watch is worn less in a rotation, that would extend the time it would need servicing I think? If a rolex needs servicing every 10 years, if I rotated it between 3 watches then in theory it wouldn't need servicing for 30 years?

A Rolex does not "need" servicing every 10 years. What Rolex has said, is that 10 years is about the average of what they see owners servicing at.

In any event, certainly, if the watch is used less, it will likely last longer, mechanically, between service calls.

The weak-link is the life of seals and gaskets. This is not based on use, but on time and the environment.
