If you wear it regularly I'd get it serviced every 5 years, unless it starts to show signs of needing service sooner. If you wait until "the hands can barely move", you've probably done greater damage to the inner workings of the watch, which will result in a higher repair cost. Servicing a watch is preventative maintenance in the same way you change the oil on your car. You don't wait until your engine dies to buy a new engine.
