Our wealthy property developer friends (proud Tuggers), have Omegas and Rolexes. The Omega costs £400 a year to get serviced and the Rolex stays in a safe!
I once bought a good replica of a Rolex from a street seller in Washington DC, and it gave many years of excellent service.

By “replica” do you mean “illegal knock off“?And by “street seller” do you mean “criminal”. 😀

Yes that could be a description, and I also bought a replica Tag Heur and Breitling in Hisaranu from an established shop. A friend I met on holiday bought a few and the following year when we met up again he took one back as it had stopped working, and the shop replaced it without a quibble. Good customer service, which greatly impressed the police sergeant from Essex 😱

My 20 year old Seiko Titanium, has never been serviced, I have replaced the battery probably 4 times, but that's because I only wear it every now and again.
It keeps perfect time.

Not sure what needs servicing on a watch.
There is case for checking waterproof seal after battery change if watch is used in water.

I normally have waterproof seal changed on my self winding Seiko when battery is changed. But I’ve always taken it off when showering or swimming, and neither of those two actions expose me to the 50m depth. But I’m only on my second battery in 10 years. Now my CWC watch is a different beast and not self winding.
