Bring a Loupe: Vintage Chronographs And Dive Watches From Universal Geneve, Breitling, Lip, And Othe
This week is dedicated to the new releases of Baselworld, but never fear, Bring A Loupe is here for your weekly dose of some of the most interesting vintage watches out there.

Discount on DJ41
Hi all,First post, owner of a BLNR and on wait lists for Daytona C and Sky Dweller. Although like others feel the chance of the call goes down by the day.Have the funds put aside and getting a bit itchy for my next watch.A DJ41 blue, jubilee with fluted bezel looks beautiful, however I don't think I would have the need for it if the blue Sky Dweller call ever comes.As the knowledge on this board is great and as I understand DJ's are a lot more accessible would a discount be expected.My hope by buying the DJ, I continue my relationship with AD. I get a new watch to enjoy and if needed I can sell on without taking too much of a hit.Thanks
