AP finishing question
Is there a consistently observable improvement in finishing between the SS pieces vs the PM pieces? Pictures seem to support this.

I currently have 2 rolex, 16610 and 16613I'm ready for my next purchase and fell in left with the watch below, it was on the shop owners wrist.ap rose.jpgWhat you guys think?

Breitling Evolution- Crown came off
Ive had my Evolution for about 7-8 years and I looked down at my wrist the other night when I was out and noticed my Crown (middle one) came off? I checked my pockets and floor and couldn't find it. What do you guys suggest? Can I just purchase one and screw it back on (is that how it works?) I contacted Breitling through the internet and they sent me a box to send it back, but then realized I don't want to do a full service and wait forever. Thanks guys!

Incoming! Correct guess WIN GE London book!
Yes that's right I'm being generous this month on August because its the month of my birthday. Freaking 30 now so old. So if everything goes well I will have a new watch tomorrow, if you can guess what it is I will mail you the book still the plastic brand new. I was there on the last day of the exhibition and they were giving out multiples of books to the visitors. 4 clues to make it easier:-the watch has a moon phase -black dial-not limited edition-currently i have 5164, wouldn't want another sport watch.The real reason why I'm giving out the book is because I want to say big big thank you to every members in this forum especially the pledge members for providing insight full information on Patek watch. You guys have truly poison my mind. This forum is a great learning experience for people who are new to luxury watches like myself. I wouldn't call myself a Patek collector or a watch collector for that matter,rather just an admirer of great watches. Thus the book will mean much more
