VS III odometers still prone to failure?

[Jasminka]

I saw a series III for sale with only 125,000 km. So wondering if that is genuine. I know the series III had different cogs in the odometers. Do they break just as much as older VR-VS?

I get the screw back in without touching needle or face or drilling.
The few I see that have been already repaired, I never see a drilled hole. Occasionally will see fingerprints on the face.

I do use a small fine screwdriver, so perhaps gives the clearance I need to get under that plastic curve. .

im not scared i just go all in and take them mostly apart to fix them u know if a newbie has tried to fix it usually finger prints on dials and the sliders between the 3 sections is in so flat side outward and pointers are never in the right spot
