Bring a Loupe: A Magnificent Vacheron Constantin And Many Tool Watches From Aquastar, IWC, And Universal Geneve
This week's Bring A Loupe will present to you an outstanding Vacheron Constantin with a glorious case. Then comes a round-up of great tool watches, but here is the catch - none are from Rolex. Instead we preferred to surprise you with some less expected watches from Aquastar, IWC, and Universal Geneve - all fantastic in their own right. This is your Bring A Loupe for October 9, 2015. A Rare Vacheron Ref. 4790 With An Incredible Case 1 OF 11 The case of this Vacheron Constantin deserves a good close look: I have rarely seen such an interesting build in such dreamy condition. The articulated lugs are absolutely spectacular, especially complemented by this intact case. Interestingly, the pink-gold case has a very modern 20 mm lug width, and it is almost 40 mm long, including lugs. I actually discovered in a previous auction that this Vacheron houses the famed 1001 movement, engineered from a Jaeger-LeCoultre ebauche and showcasing impeccable finishing.This Vachero

Vintage Omega Information Needed
I have two vintage Omega watches and was curious if anyone had any specific knowledge of the approximate vintage and or model number for the watches. #1 - purchased years ago#2 - from grandfather - guessing from the 50's?? - obviously needs a correct strap - taking suggestions for a good source! thanks.

Jewel Shop in Santa Monica
I'm just popping over from the Rolex side of the forums to let you Omega-eans know that Tony at the Jewel Shop in Santa Monica, California, talked me up a little last night and even gave me an Omega 2007 catalog (0.75 inches thick!). They have a lot of stock in there (Omega, Baume et Mercier, Tag, Mont Blanc) and business appears to be slow. On my way out, he offered to deal on price without me even hinting that I wanted to buy anything. So, if you are in the market for an Omega (alas, I am not, tho they are pretty), you may wish to give Tony a chance.All best,MarkJewel Shop1353 Third Street PromenadeSanta Monica, CA 90401310-451-1113Tony
