Bring a Loupe: A Diverse Selection Ranging From A $500 Takano To A $25,000 Rolex GMT Retailed By Tiffany
This Bring A Loupe looks at unusual watches, all with a twist that makes them collectible in their own right. We start strong with a rare military Omega, and a minty Rolex GMT-Master retailed by Tiffany. Chronograph love is there this week as well, with an undervalued Minerva and an unexpected Universal Geneve Aero-Compax. And you'll discover a couple of defunct brands, including the ephemeral Takano and the budget-friendly Clebar. This is your Bring A Loupe for February 26, 2016. An Omega Military Reference CK 2777 With Original Thin Arrow Dial 1 OF 8 You might remember this super rare military Omega from our visit to Omega's museum collection, here. The Reference CK 2777 represents a crucial step for Omega: a 37mm antimagnetic watch to answer a special order from the British Minister of Defense for the Air Force, in 1952. This reference fights magnetism with a thicker dial and inner soft iron cage, exactly like the first Railmaster CK2914 launched in 1957

loving the Speedmaster!... who knew?
Ive had a lot of watches... and i mean a lot so the excitement wears off pretty quick and im on the hunt for the next one for the collection......I bought a brand new Speedmaster last week (big box set,perspex lens) and i honestly cant stop looking at it. Look at my sig and you will see ive got nice bling watches(as far as bling goes) but this thing is comfortable, light, and just all round spot on.... i never thought id go to my watches in the morning and pick anything over one of my subs but right now im reaching for this and loving it.Changed to a nato last night and today just had to share lol!

Attention to detail
I continue to be impressed with the thought Omega put into the design of the PloProf. When I replaced the mesh with the Maratac strap, I discovered that the case has notches for the spring bars to slip down into:A nice touch that makes changing straps a lot easier.Fr. John?

List all the changes/updates after BaselWorld
I thought it be easier to put all the changes/updates and new launches in one thread.I see that many more options are available on other line of watches. Besides the big annoucements, they are some subtle changes. Like no more Arabic or Roman Numerals on SkyD. The rolex crown is printed between Swiss and Made on the New Dials! Here is one for Starter DJ41 SS/RG TT has Slate Dial now!4CB1A0C5-FF43-4FFB-A57A-44599DDC862F.jpeg
