Request for information!

Does any one know if both editions (2nd and 3rd) of Rolex Wristwatches by J. Dowling & J. Hess. have the same info on each page?

I'm after some specific information, which I know the page number, but not which edition!

pp. 272 & 273

Thanks in advance

Have 1st edition and those pages look identical to the ones posted above.
Also have 3rd edition as some of the other content changes through the editions.

As a little sidebar... Whenever I see this cover (of this excellent ref. tome), it always makes me smile that given all the lovely white 1665's out there at the time, James and Jeff choose one with luminova service hands and insert ....but I think more poignantly it shows us that this was considered less of a demerit years ago, than it is considered now - I note also in Skeet and Urals pretty good 'Vintage Sports Models book' they photoshop various hands/bezels/inserts/crowns etc across models !
