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. A Zenith Chronometre With Caliber 40T 1 OF 11 The dial of this Zenith reveals so much about this chronometer, even quoting the name of its caliber 40T in a very interesting script above the seconds sub-register.

1950s (we think) Omega - can anyone tell me anything from this picture?
Hi, This watch belonged to my friend's grandfather. He was a joiner and wore it every day of his long career, hence the scratches etc. As far as we know the lens, case, crown etc are all original. Sadly, for reasons known only to her, before passing it on to my friend a few years ago, his mother saw fit to dispose of the both the original box AND receipt!!! Compounding matters further, she put a very cheap and nasty strap on it, and disposed of what was presumed to be the original by its battered state! I know, I know..... the mind boggles.Anyway, the watch now belongs to my friend, and as he no longer has the receipt and box etc would like to know something, anything about it. I can probably get some more photos from him, but for now this is all he has sent me.Anyone?
