Bring a Loupe: A Grail Patek, And Many Beautiful Watches From Lange, Jaeger-LeCoultre And IWC
For this week's Bring A Loupe expect a very eclectic selection. You will discover a grail chronograph from Patek, and an iconic Rolex GMT. We've also found many beautiful blue dials, from a rare Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox to a sparkling Lange Saxonia. And completing the round-up, we have a couple of unusual and very interesting watches, including a Tudor Advisor, and the Heuer Solunar. This is your Bring a Loupe for August 7, 2015. A Dream Patek Chronograph, The Reference 1518 1 OF 12 This Patek 1518 is undoubtedly my favorite of the week, the more so because I got the chance to put on my wrist. With this one something strange happened: I really did not want to take it offever! The proportions are on point: the small and thick case underlines the layering of the dial with its magnificent moonphase disc. Granted, the dial has some aging marks, but nothing crazy for a proud 70-year-old watch. And the applied Arabic numerals are actually a big highlight of this

Should I pull the trigger on this 2009 ROO?
I'm on holiday and was offered this new 2009 AP ROO from an AD for $17,000 (15% off retail of $20k) with no tax:.vialuxe/Audemars-Pigu...1/Watch/501428It's the new silvered dial with red accents on SS bracelet. And it has AP's new in-house movement. The watch is stunning but I am new to AP and am just not sure if 15% off is fair in this economy. I could easily get 20% off a Rolex, maybe even 25%. The AD of course told me that like Panerai, authorized dealers can not discount much off AP watches. Opinions on this deal?

Loving my new Breitling Superocean Steelfish.
I have been on the search for a Breitling Steelfish for a couple of weeks, my regular AD was out on the dial I wanted but another store had it on a strap, my Ad asked me to hold out on the other guy and give him a couple of days, as usual he comes through. found me a Steelfish on bracelet for less than what the other guy was charging for it on leather I wanted an everyday brushed watch that was on the simpler side IE no chrono and with a white or black dial. My choices were between the Omega Seamaster and the Breitling Steelfish for around 1900USD (my limit). Decided to go with the Breitling simply because I like the design better and I did have and sell a Seamaster before.Now that it is on my wrist I dont know why I even considered the Omega. The Breitling blows it away completely!!! Here is what i really love about it:1- Best damn sapphire crystal I have ever seen. All Breitlings have amazingly good crystals, feels like I can reach in and play with the hands.2- The case is beau
