To those people I say buy a quarts watch, spend USD$100 or less every two years or so to change the batteries and be happy.

I totally agree!
First off, the ~$500 service fee once every five years comes out to just $100/year - or about $8 bucks/month. To maintain your Rolex and have it pretty much run forever, I think the $8 bucks per month is worth every penny!
