Need advice for my vintage

Here the pic. Need you advice friends.

1. I ask rolex service center and they say I can't do service on my watch. According to them this is a regulation from Geneva if the watch is rare and discontinued. They not allow to touch it

2. My movement is dry from what they inspect. What should I do?

3. If I don't wear the watch will it get dryer or the more I use it will it get dryer? I'm planning to buy scatola to make the watch keep moving.

My watch is ref vintage 6605 datejust roulette if you refer back my post it finally arrived vintage from year 1957
