Bring a Loupe: A Girard-Perregaux Olimpico With Full Set, Some Killer Enicar Chronographs, And A Few
This Bring A Loupe focuses on vintage watches that fly under the radar for a lot of collectors, but that are really worth looking at. This week you will not find any Universal Geneve, Heuer, Rolex or Patek; but keep reading. You will indeed discover a rarely seen Girard-Perregaux Olimpico, a couple of Enicars, and maybe the most Seventies chronograph ever made, from Revue. The purpose of this unusual selection is twofold: to introduce you to little-known yet really attractive vintage watches, and also provide you with some Christmas suggestions at interesting price points. This is your Bring A Loupe for December 18, 2015. A Girard-Perregaux Olimpico Reference 9075, Simply A Very Cool Chronograph 1 OF 10 For me, this was the most exciting find of the week.
