Where's the darn crown???
So, here I am in the family room watching television with my wife. She's watching 'Bridezillas', which I refuse to watch. So, what do I do?....start looking for the etched crown on my Daytona. She's looking at me like I've got 2 heads asking, "what are you doing"? I respond, "just looking for the crown on my watch."
So, finally I find the crown. I figure taking it a step further by grabbing the camera. She then asks, "what are you doing now...?" I respond, "taking a picture of the crown!" She gives up. She then continues to watch her show.
Thanks for looking!

Sounds familiar. I've been mocked twice today looking for the crown and expect to be mocked again soon as I have yet to find mine.

Nice! I too would rather be looking for a LEC than bridezillas.

The easy way to find the LEC is to use a LED flashlight and a jewelers loupe.

I read the Rolex Forums last night while my wife watched Bridezilla. Women really eat up those wedding shows.

the crown pops out easier with a flashlight, but need a better camera to capture a good picture.

The only thing I remembered was a girl getting kicked out of a club because she was puking outside. That's all you'll get from me Gary!

All I hear is a lot of yelling in the background! But the show gives my wife an hour of guilty pleasure. It is the least I can do for making her watch Dirty Jobs!

Sounds familiar. Bridezilla? Even looking at an Invicta has to be better than that.

Very nice pic! I still cannot capture a decent picture myself...Maybe it is time for a macro lens!

I went to the AD, and happened to ask. They showed me, but I looked 10 times with my loupe, and never saw it.

It's there!
