user3872: I have heard that you are allowed to pause to clock to find your queen. Is this true?

user291: You may stop the clock if the piece that you wish to promote to is not at hand:

6.12.b. A player may stop the chessclock only in order to seek the arbiter’s assistance, for example when promotion has taken place and
  the piece required is not available.
