Re: Frustrating service...

That's another wow - should never have made it out of QC once, let alone twice. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but hand misalignment couldn't be caused by shock and could only have been at build time? Thanks for the pics both - I don't think I'll let it put me off what is a lovely watch, but I will...
