Bring a Loupe: A Dressy Rolex, A Complicated Credor, And A Great Speedmaster To Start Off 2016
Bring A Loupe kicks off 2016 with an unexpected selection: the watches featured today are not the usual crowd-pleasing favorites but, for one reason or another, they deserve more attention than they generally get. We've found a fantastic vintage dress watch from Rolex, and a modern Seiko Credor with a moon phase complication. I will also highlight some of the best  – and worst – listings from eBay this past week, from a very promising Gallet to a sadly fraudulent Breitling Top Time. This is your Bring A Loupe for January 1, 2016, and I wish you a Happy New Year! Rolex Oyster Perpetual Reference 1013, With A Rose Gold Case 1 OF 11 I consider the 101X line as one of the greatest successes in Rolex vintage production. Think about it: you have the reference 1016, an amazing Explorer, and the reference 1019, a super attractive Milgauss. Besi

Water resistance question...
With my FC having a 100m water resistance, is it ok to swim with it on? Also, what about the 116509 Daytona? Not sure on the depth rating for that one.Thanks

Incoming PAM320
Hi Guys,I just received my first Panerai today, PAM320. I was looking to buy another Rolex (Hulk) but got the Panerai bug. I was looking for 44mm case with clear back case, in-house automatic movement, seconds hand, date, GMT and power reserve indicator so that short listed my choices to 320/321 and 270. 270 is 5-6k more expensive than 320/321 here in Canada and 321 dial is too busy for my liking so I ended up ordering PAM320. So happy with my choice
