Nice way to start the day!
So I go to adjust the time on my 8500 PO, but when I unscrew the crown it starts to make this clicking sound and then comes loose in my fingers... the stem broke in the middle and is still in the tube.Watch is under warranty and I'm taking it to the boutique to send it for service. Hope it's covered. ..After it's fixed I think I'll sell it the day I get it back. It's a pretty watch, but I don't want this headache and bill when the warranty is over.Attachment 496449Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

How hard is 5167 to source in the UK ?
Decided back in May that my next purchase would be 5167 on rubber strap. My first Patek.I have an AP RO and do not what another bracelet watch hence not considered the 5711.My usual AD told me should have one coming in end June/July and it still has not arrived.Happened to pass another AD last week that told have one in but someone was ahead of me and was viewing it on monday. It turns out that is the bracelet version and the other person has passed on it. Now been given the hard sell that Patek will not be supplying these as rubber only option and if pay steel price they will throw in rubber strap and deployment in for free( Still 2k more then rubber only version)Can anyone shed anylight if Patek are controlling 5167 supply with just rubber straps. If this is really the case guessing my usual AD will probably not get one in near future ?I'm not really keen to source from overseas due to possible VAT hit and ideally want totally brandnew watch ( 1st owner )Any advise/thoughts would be

Bracelet options UK based
I have a 15210 date. Bought and worn daily for 25 years. Great watch but oyster bracelet becoming worn. The watch obviously has limited value now. What options do I have to get the bracelet overhauled or replaced without buying new from Rolex?
