NOS needs service?

Last question about the BNIB 16710, it's a Z serial but bnib never worn. Would I need to service it or can I wait another 5 years, or less?

With the modern day Rolex today service time starts from the time you strap it on the wrist and start to wear it.

Modern watch oils don't congeal as quickly as the old ones so no worries... just enjoy your GMT II !

Pics are welcomed!
