Hi, could you please PM your serial number or movement number? I have lost a similar piece not too long ago in HK and have reported it. Last thing anyone wants is to help people profiteering from our stolen watches!
I brought a perfectly working watch in for a 5year service, as we all we should do.. but it came back twice with issues, and now it is on the 3rd trip back to Lange. All with different issues! Talk about QC. Excuses, human error, oversight, unforeseen etc etc. Now, looking back, I should never have

Thank you all for the advice. It did help me clear up some doubts on what I wanted. It is such a tough decision to make, especially when these 2 models are so similar, but also starkly different in many ways! Thank you fellow Rolex enthusiasts! HAGWE!
