When I had a watch collection, all of the watches had mechancal movements and I never owned a winder for any of them. I'm of the school that believes that a watch wears more when moving than when not, never mind what some people think about "keeping the lubricant where it needs to be" or "keeping things lubricated". My experience was that the service intervals could be extended this way. If you've owned enough watches and keep an eye on their rates over the years, you can tell when one is needing to be serviced.
As for the Rolex services, I'd never use a dealer. I'd always send a watch back to Rolex, which normally runs around $600 for a normal watch with no unusual needs. As for selling one, try eBay.
