Bring a Loupe: Chronometers And Chronographs From Rolex, Vacheron Constantin, Universal Geneve, And Many Others
The watches you see today in Bring A Loupe don't joke around. You can expect to find the aptly named Chronometre Royal from Vacheron Constantin with all its original chronometer certificates. No less precise is the Zenith 40T, a testimony of this manufacture's ability to reach extreme precision. We also bring you a full set Daytona, and a far-from-perfect Universal Geneve Uni-Compax. This is your Bring A Loupe for April 1, 2016.

Omega 2500d vs 2500c
Does anyone have any in depth info as to the improvements to the 2500d over the c? I have done some research and found varying info pertaining to the three tier movement similar to the 8500, but nothing as to why it was changed or what real world improvements can be expected. Also, does anyone have a definitive way of knowing which POs have the 2500d? Some are saying it can be differentiated by the serial number and the date wheel font, though I don't know that this is definitive. Thanks!!!!

Grinding noise when I wind my SM300
I just purchased a 1969 SM300 that was supposedly recently serviced. I notice friction when winding the watch and hear a light scrapping sound while winding. I have more modern Omegas and never noticed this issue. None of my automatic vintage watches have the same drag effect when winding them.I would appreciate your thoughts...James
