Yes, Too Much Service Can Be a Bad Thing!!

Yes, when I opened the case of my new Autavia last night, and saw the three watchmaker marks, I said to myself, "OK, which one of you bastards switched out the hands?"

Nice to have a watch that has been serviced, but I sure which I knew which landfill these old hands are in!!
