Submariner - Noise after service
Hey everyone,I took a ~27 year old Submariner Stainless (transitional period model) in about 16 months ago and it was sent to Rolex for factory service. Everything was fine until about 2 weeks ago when the watch simply quit altogether. I took it back to the jeweler that originally sent it to Rolex and their in-house jeweler opened it up to see what was wrong and did something to fix it.Now, the watch makes an odd clicking noise if you shake it lightly and if you shake it more vigorously you can hear a whirring noise that sounds like what I think a noisy winder might sound like.Now, I've had the watch for ~17 years of it's life and have never heard a peep out of it excpet for the slight ticking that can be heard if you hold it up to your ear in a quiet room. This clicking and whirring can't be right, and so I'm taking it back in, but I'm curious what the noises might be.Thoughts?

Elgin BW Raymond problems
My old BW Raymond wristwatch (23j 780)I have had for the past couple of months started to act up recently. It had been running really great. It was keeping with in 5-10 seconds a day. the last time I wore it it had lost about five minutes with in 12 hour,s which i thought was weird. I reset the watch with my clock. About a half hour later I looked at the time and it was 15 minutes off. I knew something was wrong then. I went to set the time on it and the crown and stem pulled completely out of the watch. The watch was still running but the hands wouldn't move. I took the watch to a local watchmaker to see what was wrong. It turned out the proverbial( i think that was called) screw came loose and that's why the stem pulled out. When I got it back, it was loosing about 10 seconds an hour, or about 20 minutes a day. Does anyone have an idea why it started to loose time really bad?

Back from APSC New-York
Hi everyoneJust wanted to share my experience with APSC New-York. 15300 was sent in for the B1 test and additional 1 year warranty. Lucky to find a letter explaining that they replaced the crystal as it didn't met their inspection. I noticed before sending it some micro chips on the side between 6 an 7 position but was only visible through a loupe. It was on the angle of the crystal and far from something to be worried about. Now After loupe inspection, it is 100% perfect Happy to report it was back in 5 weeks. More than I expected to say the least.Came back all wrapped with plastics on the case as if it was new. All in all, a perfect experience.Cheers.

Gsotm
Just got back from the boutique in King of Prussia where I got a chance to try on a GSOTM. I great looking watch. Not a big fan of the band. I wish it was a grey fabric like the DSOTM strap. Love the fact it is all ceramic and the lime rocks.Even though I have a Seamaster PO and love Omega and the Co-Axial movement, I just cannot bring myself to spend 12k on a Omega. I can barely can get my self to end that much on a Daytona.If you want one. They have it. Go get it before someone else does!
