Would any of us drive our cars into the ground without any oil change, filter change, sparkplug change, etc.?
Well, there you go....I wouldn't go OVER seven years with a Rolex waiting for a service.

JJ, you have a point. and the car analogy is a common one.
But if the oil goes out or does not do the job in your car. Very nasty things can and will happend.
If the oil goes dry in your watch, it will stop running. That is it.
If a rolex that went dry and were to catch on fire, or start causing major damage I would agree.
But I was told the parts that could at the very worse be destroyed in the watch for lack of lubrication are not that much to replace.
Now the parts in the car that could be detroyed, well... there is serious $.
Do you get your HD T.V., sourround sound system, frig, serviced every 5 years? If not why? They can also be high $ items.
Plus the car is a safety issue. Best case, you are just stranded if it beaks down. Worst case, you die or kill someone.
If your watch stops, worst case... you are late.
