How often should a film M be serviced?

[Paulus]

When something doesn't feel right, battary drains to fast and I lose parts, I send it in service. Leica M6 Titan

When the shutter speeds are not precise any more and the shutter gets stuck:dito leica M6 Traveller.

When the camera doesn't allow a lens because of bajonet problems: dito Leica M6 titan

When the camera goes to countries with below minus 40 degrees celcius dito.Leica M6 Black

When it accumulated to much dirt dito. Leica M6 Black

When the camera has got a dent or bump dito Leica M8

When the camera is soaked in water dito Leica M6 Titan

When the camera has been around the world over a 100 times in 103 countries in most, wet, damp exteme cold conditions. Leica M6.

When the shutter is injust( the negative has strange shadows) Leica M6 Titan

When it doesn't work anymore because I cannot arm the shutter: dito Leica MP 2002

 

So I would say about 5 times in 25 years.
