Aqua Terra just shipped off for minor service. Wish me luck!
I dread sending watches for service. It usually goes fine, but the risk of sending it off on a journey to be disassembled and all that...Anyhow, the crown in my three-year-old Aqua Terra has been extraordinarily stiff since the day it was new, and I think it has become even stiffer in the last few months. The crown does everything it's supposed to do, but every aspect of operating it is really stiff (unscrewing/screwing down, winding, pulling out to other positions, turning it to set the time, etc., everything feels really stiff).Until recently I figured I would just live with it until the watch is ready for its first full maintenance service, but lately I realize it's impacting my enjoyment of the watch, and now I'm also concerned that the seals around the stem could be faulty, and it really ought to be addressed.The watch remains under Omega's International Warranty, so I packed it up with a photocopy of my warranty card (per Omega's instruction) and a note describing the symptoms

I was wrong about the 5170p...
When the 5170p was released, i loved everything about it except the baguette diamond markets, which i though totally destroyed the look of the watch. fast forward a year, after trying it on a few times and receiving a bit of enabling (thanks steve / nyc2la), i took the plunge. the diamonds are there, but very discreet, and it just seems to work together. here is my new favorite! trying some different strap options as well...

Case markings question
Will all authentic rolex watches have the serial number stamped at the 6 o'clock and the model number at the 12 o'clock - or have they changed this recently?
