Rock on!!!

Have you worn or used the watch since you had the service done? Or did you just leave it alone?

To cdmorenot - this is rolliworks work. I had to import back into Canada and it was surprisingly painless. The folks at Rolliworks are good at what they do.

To Ferrari308 - no I never wore the watch since getting service at the AD. I tried getting a nasty band but never liked the look. I had to teach myself how to set the day and date today.

That's the thing about heirlooms- they're almost never cheap.

When it's all together and you've worn it a while, I doubt you'll regret what it cost to do so.
