In 1923, the first dial painter died, and before her death, her jaw fell away from her skull. Send the watch to me.... I'll even pay postage.....

You should improve your procedures if you are doing work for others. That’s not acceptable to me unless it is your own personal watch and you don’t care about the consequences.
