I'm going to send in my watch to be serviced. Hows the quality of the watch after servicing compared to a new one(when I bought it)? I notice small scraches on the hands of watches post service? Weird... Do humans assemble the new ones like they do when they rebuild them for an overhaul? Thx

It should come back as good as new.
If you've not had a chance to check the servicing video I think you will find this interesting.

Totally O/T, but I love it when commercials try to tell use that we're thinking for ourselves when we're persuaded by their rhetoric and end up buying their product.

The hands are brand new with a service as they are single use and there is no difference between the hands assembly for a new watch or a serviced watch.

No, they replace the dial. But they wont do that unless it actually needs it, and theyll charge you a pretty penny.

And as Super Luminova doesn't age it isn't needed unless there is damage - usually water related.
