Bring a Loupe: A Diverse Selection Ranging From A $500 Takano To A $25,000 Rolex GMT Retailed By Tiffany
This Bring A Loupe looks at unusual watches, all with a twist that makes them collectible in their own right. We start strong with a rare military Omega, and a minty Rolex GMT-Master retailed by Tiffany. Chronograph love is there this week as well, with an undervalued Minerva and an unexpected Universal Geneve Aero-Compax. And you'll discover a couple of defunct brands, including the ephemeral Takano and the budget-friendly Clebar. This is your Bring A Loupe for February 26, 2016. An Omega Military Reference CK 2777 With Original Thin Arrow Dial 1 OF 8 You might remember this super rare military Omega from our visit to Omega's museum collection, here. The Reference CK 2777 represents a crucial step for Omega: a 37mm antimagnetic watch to answer a special order from the British Minister of Defense for the Air Force, in 1952. This reference fights magnetism with a thicker dial and inner soft iron cage, exactly like the first Railmaster CK2914 launched in 1957

First year/serial the SS Diver was released
Tried to do a search on this subject but couldn't find it. I'm actually curious about all Diver variations.Anyone know the answer? Need to enrich my knowledge of APs.

Are the parts on the 2500 and the 1120 interchangable?
Digging around in my parts box I found two 2500b, one 1120, and a couple 2892 a2 movements.I know all are derivatives of the 2892, Do many parts interchange? Can i drop off the pile to an expert and get a couple working movements? Assuming the needed parts are functional.I'd rather reclaim a couple instead of parting out the lot.

Any thoughts on this Omega ?
Hello,I was just googling around (and found some interesting history on my specific Sub which I will post in the Rolex forum ) , but I came accross this vintage Omega.Tried to google images to find same one , but couldnt. I found similar but not this font ,and a few other minor differences.This is the only pic I have , of the shop's website. Before I spend time getting more pics and details , I would appreciate your thoughts - does it look genuine (shop is supposedly okay) and is it worth close to the asking price of Euro 1400 - I can haggle later.Thanks as always
