Once you sell it you can never replace it, and the models have changed and are more expensive.
So I would keep it. I have regretted selling most watches that I have sold, not at first but in time.
As others have mentioned a mechanical watch has a service interval, you are way over. You would not drive your car for 20,000 miles and then bemoan the fact the engine has wear or breaks would you? Properly serviced a rolex is as rugged and bullet proof as any mechanical watch. Which is to say very rugged but not as rugged as a non-mechanical.
So get it serviced, the spring as a part is cheap, it's the service / clean / lube you are paying for. Next time do it in 5 years or so and there will not likely be any "broken" parts, though maybe some worn parts, that happens in any machine. If you keep or sell there is no reason to go to Rolex themselves vs. a reputable independent unless you really want that extra cost. Don't think it would make a much more of a sale price either.
