Bring a Loupe: A Spectacular Submariner, A Large Breitling Top Time, A Very Complete Memovox, An Unu
This week, Bring A Loupe focuses on a perennial favorite: vintage Omegas, from an intriguing Railmaster to an exotic Speedmaster. We will also examine one of the very first Rolex Submariners with crown guards, a reference 5513 with a flawless gilt dial. And to round things out, we have a couple of chronographs from Breitling and Universal Geneve, each with their own interesting quirks. This is your Bring A Loupe for January 8, 2016. An Early Rolex Submariner Reference 5513, A Stunning Vintage Sub With Glossy Gilt Dial 1 OF 12 This dial instantly tells you one thing: you are not looking at your average Submariner. This vintage Sub exhibits exactly what we love: a deep glossy dial and a fat case. The dial is marvelous, with a lacquer finish characteristic of the early 5513s. Until 1966, the reference 5513 boasted a glossy dial with gilt lettering ("gilt" referring to the golden color). Only after 1966 would the Submariners have the matte dials we described

You guys are such enablers!

Interesting Interview with Thierry Stern
I have been saving for my first Patek, and expect to buy around April. So reading the threads today about price increases caused me to do more research, and I stumbled onto this interview with Thierry Stern. He discloses annual production numbers, talks about AD networks and new markets. If it is a repost, my apologies.luxurysociety/articles/20...patek-philippe
