So I say really, like I'd say not to do the work? She tells me it happened once, in fact they told the customer not to get it fixed, it was a guy in his 70's, had the watch for almost 50 years and had never had it serviced, it was going to cost $7000 to make it right, they took it as a trade on a new watch which ended up saving him a few bucks.....

It's always good when that works out well.
I don't think I'm going to let my Rolexes go for 40-50 years with no maintenance. LOL It's comforting to know I can, and maybe it'll be alright if I do, but I'm not gonna.
BTW and FWIW, being able to do that "trade in" thing totally depends on the seller and given that Rolex boutiques aren't actually owned by Rolex (last I checked, not one of them) one may even be offered a nice trade in opportunity even at a Rolex branded boutique.
All the best.
