Parts should not expensive and lds should not charge for laboras much as they do, this the reason that most divers do get their regulator service every year because it put hand the price you pay to get it serviced. If you buy top of line lime 1500.00 regulator set n get chared 250 every year you get serviced in ten years you can buy 2 medium priced sets. Even if you get lifetime parts, they are limited to the original owner. If you buy used it would be nice to have that but that's not the case. Even with a program of lifetime e parts the lds always make money be suse they will hit with something that they will say it's not covered by the program n how would you know what's what you just hoping that it's a honest lds. There not much of honor these day.

I'm not a fan of any LDS really, but how on earth do you expect them to make money?

Also, no reason to service a reg unless the ip is out of spec... which is never "every year".
