Post Service Observations?

[Wooddog44]

Had the "five year" service on my K series Sub Date about a month ago. It came back looking great, all shiny and cleaned up, and running with much greater accuracy (before service +8 now +1) as expected but have also noticed some subtle "differences". I have listed them below and was wondering if any others may have had similar experiences after servicing.

Date change: Before service 12:04, after service 11:59. Also used to change w/an audible "click" which could be heard even with the TV on very low. Now has a much quieter, whisper like, "flick" which I don't hear at all if the TV is on.

Winding: Before the service had a "buzz" like feel and sound when winding, after service has a smoother, springier feel.

Crown: Before "parked" at the 1 o'clock position, now parks at 6 o'clock.

None of these are a problem, and I imagine all are due to new parts and/or being cleaned and oiled, just observed changes.

Send it back..

a fresh service should get it back to tha same old watch you loved for the first 5 years............

If they can't get it right, send a letter to the CEO..

Couldn't be more pleased - not intended to be complaints, just things that I noticed.
