In this week's Bring A Loupe, we've got a wide range of incredibly rare vintage pieces – some of which are offered by dealers that are, more or less, "off the grid," but that I've encountered in my travels – and rare and special contemporary pieces from modern favorites Journe and Lange. Further, if you've been hunting a rare vintage chronograph, boy do we have some options for you today – think an Hermes-signed Universal, a mythical Heuer "Dark Lord," and a 1930's AP chrono in pink gold. This is your Bring A Loupe for May 22, 2015. Heuer Monaco "Dark Lord" PVD 1 OF 10 The indisputable king of the vintage Heuer world is the Heuer Monaco "Dark Lord," or, in other words, reference 740303 N – a manually wound, PVD-coated Monaco made for just one year (1974) in very few examples.

But, with PC, do you wind when not wearing, or reset it and if the latter, is that an issue/cause wear?Thx
