Anyone help with reference number on this audemars piguet?
Trying to figure out what the reference number is for this particular watch and for the life of me I can't figure it out. Any audemars piguet experts that can lend some feedback for this? Pic below:

AARRRRGGG! Frustrated with Omega service!
I am about ready to fly to NY and get my Omega back from the service center. I sent my SMP in because it kept starting and stopping. It's under warranty so I brought it into my AD and they mailed it in the first week of Dec. 2007.They called me two weeks later to tell me the watch was magnetized. How that happened I can't figure out.They informed me they are covering this under warranty and giving it a complete service while it is there, free. Great I thought as it's about $500 to have an SMP chrono serviced. I was told they are closed the week between XMas and New Years but I should expect my watch back by the second week of Jan.2008. No prblem, Great I tell them.I didn't hear from them and I called Jan. 22nd. I was told the watch was in Quality control and I should be getting it back in 7-10 days. OK, fine.Another two weeks go by..Nada. I wait and call them back Feb. 15. I am getting pissed by now. I get a call back saying they are really sorry but part of my free service I never ask
