I understand your anxiety.......-->
I understand your anxiety. I, too, am a perfectionist in that way.
What I would do if I were you was to send it in for service, putting in writing that the dial was clean, etc. and had this signed by both AD and I This would mean that if something went wrong, the service centre were obliged to rectify it at their expenses.
Personally, I would not mind the time spent, even if it took months. I did this to one watch. I sent it in for a service and the chrono did not come back quite right. So it went back to be adjusted. This time the repairman scratched the dial. I insisted that they resolved it, so in the end they changed the dial for free. It took something like half a year or so in total, but I have been happy with the watch since. My AD was very understanding.

Newbie with Type XXI dilemma
A warm greeting to all! I have been reading th purists forum for a few years now and have learned a great deal from it. This is my first post and I'm hoping to seek opinion of fellow watch enthusiast on the issue I have on hand. I purchased a Breguet Type...
I have just had a very similar debate (see below)...
on having a small adjustment made to a Type XX that i recently bought from breguet. I too am obsessed with having a spotless dial and my hesitation with having the watch adjusted was largely a function or whether it would come back in a different conditio...
Thanks for your reply folks
Thank you for your replies. I am still very hesitant... There is no doubt that the watches are spotless coming out of the factory. That is somthing I felt might be comprimised if it is not handled properly @ service. Yes I'm very particular about dust, an...

On a positive note, you can't see the blemish...
...unless you run the chrono. However, since the watch is new and service is a long time away, I would opt for getting the center minute hand replaced now. As an owner of a XXI, its beauty is second to none and deserves to be free of imperfections. It wou...
ok, I have made my decision
Thank you all for your comments, which helped mould my decision. I have decided to send the watch in and get it fix. Sound too much like a leap of faith for a simple thing like that. Silly me?...

in the same shoes ; )
Glad to know all is well for your watch. Nice one you got there! PAM93?
SWATCH Messed up my watch!!!
I'm actually so upset that I didn't feel like talking, but just had to vent it out. I took the leap and send my watch to SWATCH service centre to rectify the OXIDIZED minute counter hand. I had the choice of sending it back to the factory or have a set of...
Are we expecting too much from an imperfect world?
Thank you gentlemen for your listening ears, I feel much better now. Having sleep on it (the matter, not the watch!) for one night, I 'm left thinking whether I'm expecting too much from services in general. Perhaps I should just accept that perfect servc...
Happy or Sad Ending?
Hi all, First and foremost a very warm hello to everyone. I have not been very active on the forum lately due to life's other commitment but felt really bad about not providing a closure to this post. My apologies that it took me so long to do it. So to c...
Just a little recount
I recently purchased a La Tradition from a local AD, didn't notice anything until I got home and took out the 15x loupe to "admire"my new baby. Upon closer inspection, i discovered that the entry pallet had a AIR BUBBLE in it, to make matters worse, there...
Replaced, wow!
Hi aaron, thanks for your post. You're very luck to have you watch replaced! Anyway, I already got my watch back in 2008, just posting to provide a (very) belated updated. The same service staff attended to me then and she's nice. I guess both our encount...
