Bring a Loupe: A Rare Speedmaster, Two Chronographs With Famous Movements, And A French Diver's Watch
This week's Bring A Loupe brings us back to the 1950-'60s era with some rare watches from Longines, Minerva, and Rolex. Time-only, chronograph, and dive watches are all represented here, underlining the timeless beauty of vintage timepieces. We have also selected the best lots from an upcoming Omega auction in Sweden, including a very nice Omega Speedmaster with an interesting orange hand. This is your Bring A Loupe for October 23, 2015. A Very Rare Longines, The Reference 2160 With Mushroom Pushers 1 OF 12 Usually, I don't feature non-functioning watches but I had to make an exception for this Longines from the 1930's. You can immediately see how rare it is, with one glance at its mushroom pushers and another at the legendary 13-ZN movement with fly-back function. The downside of this watch is obviously its poor condition, from a washed-up dial to a movement that needs some serious servicing. It is evidently too special to be called a project watch

Date change issue
Hi All,So I've had 2 months of trouble free time telling on my DJII. Have been wearing my Submariner the last few days but decided I'd wear my DJII today. So I wound it up and pulled one extra notch to change the date however it got stuck!!! Okay so I then pulled it out another notch to turn the time forward, spun around +48 hours, no luck. Was on the phone to Watchfinder they said to bring it in, as I was talking to the lady it clicked into date.It appears to be keeping okay time, however not the date changes at 11:45, it's always changed at 12:00 on the nose.Now my question, is it a major issue.CheersSK
