I’ve heard this with other brands also. I guess removing them often leads to them bending or becoming altered in a way where they recommend a full repair. I think the only tome I’d pay any mind would be one vintage Watch. Otherwise with modern lume it wouldn’t bother me in the least.

I will say this though. I had a 16710 once that I put up for sale. Being the honest person I am I disclosed that the hands had been replaced in service... with literally the exact same hands. Rolex said the same thing essentially and replaced them for free. This is with modern like so it’s the exact same hands. I had a few people decline the watch based on that.
