11 years, never serviced, +:02/day - what would you do?

My 16610 P-serial just turned 11 this month. I've never had it serviced and it runs +:02 per day. Recently I picked up a 116000, so I have been rotating them out. When one is on, the other is in a Wolf winder.

My bezel insert has a good gouge, so I went to AD this morning to order a replacement insert ($75 BTW). The sales girl and I were talking about service, this AD offers 1st service free with purchase, and 10% off. (PM me if you want name/number). Anyway, I said my watch has never been serviced and I don't indend to until it runs poorly or isn't working. The sales girl was aghast, like was doing a bad thing. I know several people who have had issues once their watch has been serviced and I've been told by older folks that have been wearing Rolexes many decades more than me to only service when necessary.

Am I wrong in this thinking? At $800 for a service, I figure if it aint broke, don't fix it. Am I doing a disservice to the watch by not getting it serviced? Am I running the risk of incurring further damage beyond whatever they do for $800 at a regular service by sending it when it keeps poor time or stops working all together?

Thanks for feedback----
