question for ROC owners
I recently picked up a 26300 and the rotor makes a sort of ticking sound when it settles. It's not the ball bearings which make that familiar grinding noise, its when I flick my wrist, hear the rotor spin, then when it settles there is some sort of ticking sound. I can also hear it when if gently rock the watch and not use enough energy to make the rotor spin. - if that makes sense.Anyone experience this? Thanks

AP Virgin~ Still an Virgin after 2016 LV / GTG
In the AP shop and I see this, see pic #1. I have thought about AP and felt they were too big on me. The 41mm seemed to work and I said, I'll take it. The AD told me it was Not for sale! What? I was shown several other watches and given the opportunity to buy one from them and become a customer of theirs and possibly have a chance to buy one. NO Thanks! A few other pics for the AP Lovers! What do your AP WI's Think?

Louis Rossel Rolex ?
Good morning all. I am a member of the Equation of Time Forum. We collect Rado watches along with a great variety of other Swiss watches.Recently we have been doing a lot of research on a little known Swiss brand from the 70's called Louis Rossel. As part of our research we came across a 3525 Rolex with Louis Rossel on the dial. We were intrigued so did some more research but cannot find any other 3525's marked in this way. The 'louis Rossel' Rolex seems wrong to me but we are not au fait enough to say for certain. The sub-dials look flat instead of impressed, the numbers above 12 dont follow the same pattern as other 3525's however they do have same pattern as another Rolex Model. The patina looks wrong. The movement doesnt look quite the same as other 3525's.So it could be a Franken, or a complete fake or absolutely genuine.I wonder if you could clarify this for me? . Your words of wisdom would be very much appreciated.
