Got my formula 1 chrono today from Trevor.
VERY NICE watch, cameras suck cant get a
good picture, but overall very pleased. Does
kinda drive me crazy with the chrono at the 6,
the seconds one always moving, but i knew
that when I ordered. Clasp seems more accurate
then the one D4M did a review on, also the
second chrono hand is a tad bit longer, more
correct looking then the one he reviewed.
Over all very pleased, one major problem though,
the crown looks awful! its shape is weird,
heres a blurry pic from my iphone.

6

never posted picture before, unsure if its correct,
if not heres the link http://tinypic.com/r/mt2slu/6



Mushroom shaped crown, its fully pushed town and
you can see light between it, i was hoping it wouldnt
bother me, but it does! what do you think!?

The one i bought, link below, doesnt look anything
like this!

Please let me know what you think!? am I being too picky
for a $88 rep. Just drives me crazy as the one he shows isnt
like this!

Its does seem more mushroom shaped. To prevent this from happening, I always ask Trevor to take photos of the watch he is going to send me. IMO, I think its a small issue.

Ive had this watch for 6 days now, and before putting it in the watch case today i noticed the crown was gone, completely fell off and dis appeared, been wearing it all day and have no clue when this happened, what do i do now!? Im guessing the dealer wont feel responsible since ive had it for a week?

just noticed the time isnt workin anylonger, time is set at 330, guessing thats when it came out then!? i would of been at the mall. Im not very watch smart and know nothing about this, guessing the watch is still ok just needs the crown to be put in to work!? does the crown screw in? any advice is greatly appriciated! First new rep ive purchased (got one before this on the member sales board)
PLMK!

The formula 1s do have a screw down crown. The watch will stop if the crown is removed. You probably didn't have the crown screwed down and it caught on something and got yanked out. They do have a mechanism that secures them while the crown is unscrewed, but if you pull hard enough you can yank them out. Chances are the watch is fine and you just need a new crown.
