Bring a Loupe: A Pair Of Universal Geneve Chronographs And A Trio Of Dressy Patek Philippe
This week's Bring A Loupe will feature some seriously dreamy watches. So expect a couple of stunning Universal Geneve chronographs and another three equally appealing Patek Calatravas. We will also explain what is wrong with the dial of an otherwise very funky Rolex. This is your Bring A Loupe for October 2, 2015. A Chronograph With Calendar And Moonphase Complications From Universal Geneve 1 OF 12 This Tri-Compax really underlines what makes Universal Geneve chronographs so great: their neat aesthetic. The case has interesting lugs, the bezel looks good, but frankly the dial steals the show. In theory, there was no way the dial should have managed to hold a triple calendar, a three-register chronograph, a moonphase and some lines of text for the brand and reference, all in a 36 mm case! Yet, Universal Geneve nailed the perfect design that allows everything to look balanced and sexy. If you add that the movement – caliber 281 – is in fact in-house,

Man vs. Wild with Bear Grylls
This is a show made by Discovery Channel.The start of the show, Bear Grylls goes to remote areas and illustrates how one might survive.After watching the show many times I saw tonight for the first time that Bear Grylls now wears a Breitling Emergency with rubber strap.Quite a solid watch, I wonder if he purchased it or Breitling sponsored him.The Breitling Emergency consists of a transmitter which is activated (for 48 hours) by unscrewing a protective cap and pulling the antenna out fully. Over flat terrain or calm seas, the transmitter signal has a range of about 160Km (assuming the search aircraft is flying at an altitude of 6000m).The watch is 43mm with a titanium case and a black dial.

Speedmaster Moonphase Co-Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph
The price is coming down! Two years ago when it debuted I prayed the $10,500 MSRP would plummet.Within the last few months I have seen it listed (second hand) for an average of low $7,xxx's!!What do you guys think? Could it get as low as the $5,000 range?Opinions on the watch?I have yet to see it in person but to me this could be the one to live with. It ticks so many boxes it's ridiculous!

Patek or Audemars?? Decisions...decisions!!
First, let me start by saying, this is NOT a which watch is better post. Obviously, the best is very subjective and very personalized to ones taste. Instead, I am just curious as to which piece you would purchase if you were to chose between only these two watches.The first is the classic Patek Phillipe Calatrava. This is no doubt a classic and an icon. Unbelievable craftsmanship and a piece that will certainly be passed down from generations to generations.The second choice is equally impressive. This is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak in Rose Gold. This piece is unmistakable and is pure luxury. The fit and finish on the AP is near perfect and the presence on the wrist is second to none. This is equally an heirloom that will be passed from generation to generation in a family.So, which would you chose? Both have approximately the same price tag and each offer the same features (3 hands and a date function). There is no question that each is as near perfection as you could ever
