 However the shock of landing had dislodged the layer of luminous paint from the minute-hand. It came off in one single piece, and was free inside the watch, looking like another hand just rattling around inside.

 The watch was now 6 years old and was probably due a service, the timekeeping had slowly drifted to around -2 seconds per day and appeared to be getting gradually worse month by month.

 We aren't in the EU any more. What idiots thought that BREXIT was a good idea??
-In the past it was simple,and quick, to send something back to Germany for repair. Not this time.

-I used Royal Mail, but this time needed to declare the contents on a Custom's form, and hope that the German Customs assessor didn't apply import duty on the way IN to Damasko (and then hope that the UK Customs don't charge me on the way back).

+===== Watch returns... 30/12/22 =====
+Against all expectation my DA36 came back before the end of the year. It was delivered on Friday 30th December.
+It came in a nice parcel with a Damasko Baseball Cap, Damasko pen, catalogue, Christmas Card and the old parts that were replaced in the service.

+It's such a pleasure to have **my** watch back on my wrist again after over 2 months.
+I'll keep track of its timekeeping now. Before the accident it was gradually slowing, and had reached the point of losing 4 seconds/day. It will be interesting to see what the rate is now, following a full service, in which 3 train wheels were replaced. I'll put it on the Timegrapher tomorrow afternoon once it's had 24 hours of normal wear to get fully wound. I'll also start a new "WatchCheck" measurement period to observe the overall daily rate each morning, as usual.
