Superocean Crown?
looked down at my superocean yesterday, and the crown was gone! i looked everywhere for it, cant find it. any ideas on what size these things use? do i have to send it to an AD to be fixed? i googled a little and it seems that they can be quite expensive to replace by an authorized service center. i can find genuine crowns on ebay, but am not sure of the size (does anyone have one that they can measure?). any help would be greatly appreciated!

My question or comment would be watch enthusiasts know there is a shortage, the general public does not. It's a luxury item that is supposed to be a experience. Trying on watches, getting it fitted and finally buying the watch. The shortage doesn't make me want it more it's made me rethink if I truly want it. My wife wanted to surprise me and see if she could get it and she basically

The Rolex LVC with Thomas Jefferson pocket watch.
Many of us WIS might find this interesting. This is pic of my LVC with Thomas Jefferson's pocket watch on loan to Disney. Thomas Jefferson was a serious watch enthusiasts. Rolex LVC with Thomas Jefferson's gold pocket watch.Jefferson, the 3rd President, is also a connoisseur of pocket watches. He owned a gold pocket watch made by Daniel Vaucher, a Paris-based watchmaker. Jefferson is thought to have acquired the watch while on a trip to the French city. He later gave this watch to James Monroe, the 5th President. The watch can now be found at the James Monroe Museum in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
