Yes and no. A modern movement can be serviced 'as good as new' because all material is available to make the movement 'as good as new'. However, with older style movements compromise is to be expected as some are obsolete and therefore all parts are not available. The watchmaker may re-silver the plated parts that have suffered with age and mis-use and polish pivots, make screws etc but I defy anyone to claim the movement is as it was when it came out of the factory.
