How necessary it is depends on how much risk you want to take on screwing up an expensive watch.

Since you are swimming with it, it really is a good idea--especially as your watch gets older.

Probably not absolutely necessary to do it *every* year. But then you sure would kick yourself if the seals did fail and you ruined your watch!

: - How much does it cost to perform such a test?

Should be very inexpensive. For a jeweler that has the testing device, the process is very simple.
