I already posted it in the WRUW thread. After a very very long time, it finally arrived from service:

Lugs are a bit too polished but the dial compensates it.
Looks great! These are fun aren't they?

Haha, I've been putting my watchmaker through the same. The central disk isnt functioning properly. It's giving him fits.

Yea I went through having to bring it back because the disk wasn't at 0 when fully wound down. The other one I have had a misaligned gear on that wheel causing it to slip. All fixed now.

But that is probably due to the main spring not being strong enough anymore.

All fixed now. Adjusted free of charge. He didn't mention anything about replacing anything. So, who knows, watchmaker stuff. 😀

Makes the one I've got for sale look like a steal. Maybe I'm underpriced...
