Bring a Loupe: Two Oversized Vacherons, One Very Slim Piaget, And One Promising Chronograph From Lon
This week's Bring A Loupe will feature an early Autavia chronograph from Heuer, and reveal another from Longines – a true eBay find in all its glory, horrendous pictures included. We will also look into watches with some very special dimensions, starting with the first ultra-thin Piaget with automatic movement, and then examining two incredible Vacheron Constantins, both with oversized cases in pink gold. This is your Bring A Loupe for November 6, 2015. An Early Heuer Autavia Reference 2446 Second Generation 1 OF 11 Two weeks ago we covered in depth an early Autavia that ultimately fetched $45,000 on eBay and today it kind of starts over. Well, this Autavia is not as rare, as it is the second execution of the reference 2446 with screw-back case. In comparison to the first execution that we had spotted earlier, the difference is minute, but for a Heuer aficionado it means a lot: the hands are not full lume anymore, you can see their frame here. Unfortunate
Royal Oak 15000ST
HelloDoes someone here maybe happen to have this bit smaller 33mm version of Royal Oak. I have quite small wrist so I have been thinking lately about getting one. But then again 33mm sounds REALLY small so I would love to see some wrist shots from it or hear some opinions. Normally I think something like 37mm is the most working size for me. Thanks
AP ROO in 'The Mechanic'
In the 2011 flick, 'The Mechanic', starring Jason Statham, the opening sequence features a Gold ROO Chronograph with a black strap. It's a really nice watch but a little too BLING for me. However, given that this short lived character is a Colombian Drug Lord (with good taste), it somehow suits him.
