To answer your question in the USA No AD has the right to confiscate your watch! Period! Read the law guys and know your constitutional rights. However they can ask you to leave and never return. It's called trespassing.
I've seen many reviews that all say the N factory version is better than the H factory version. So your AD couldn't spot the H factory bright white lettering? Supposedly the PIG logo is better on the H factory but the N factory has the proper off white color...hmmmm decisions decisions
Yea same here but it does glow like a torch. I heard Vac does better work but haven't tried him yet. Most relumers are expensive. I do agree if not done properly(stripping old lume and starting from scratch) it can ruin the look of your watch.
Send it to MD2020. DO NOT send it back to China! Turn around is 2-3 months. Trust me I KNOW! See if Andrew will refund the repair amount which shouldn't be much for a stem replacement and service.
