Buying a Rolex that has been sitting in a safe for 9 years

Hi guys

I have the opportunity to finally purchase my dream watch, a 14060M. Found a nice example that has literally been worn 3 times. It's a 2005 watch (D serial?)
that has never been serviced. It was taken into the jeweler once a year to get polished (he just did it every year to renew the lifetime warranty, the watch looks unpolished) and they tested it and said it didn't need service and was accurate.

In this case, would you guys be fine with a watch that hasn't been serviced in so long because it hasn't been worn much? Or would you use it as a bargaining tool and legitimately service it?

I am thinking if it keeps good time, and passes a water test, why service it?

I would love opinions on this. Thanks so much guys

here is a pic, looks legit to me
