Bring a Loupe: A Modern Deep Sea From LeCoultre, A Great Looking Universal Geneve, And Two Questionable Rolexes (Among Others)
This week, Bring A Loupe goes all-in on eBay to find the better deals, and some bad ones too. Expect to see a ridiculously cheap Heuer, a great looking Universal Geneve, and two questionable Rolexes. And, if you have not found a Valentine's Day gift yet, Bring A Loupe is here for you with two recommendations for women's watches, one of them you were probably not expecting. This is your Bring A Loupe for February 12, 2016. A Memovox Tribute To Deep Sea U.S. Edition �C A Very Sweet Re-Issue 1 OF 9 You probably remember the phenomenal story of a vintage Deep Sea Alarm found in a Goodwill store and bought for $5.99 last year. Well, the watch here will run you a bit more than that, and it is obviously more recent. Nonetheless, Jaeger-LeCoultre really nailed it with this faithful interpretation of the iconic Deep Sea from 1959, notably featuring the LeCoultre marking previously used for the U.S. market. While the case slightly increased in size (from 39.5 mm to 40

Superocean 44
Anyone have the new superocean 44 on steel bracelet? Want opinions on the watch cause I really like the 44 since I have a big wrist. Well made? Any input is appreciated. Thanks

5980 - photos and first impressions
As promised a couple of photos of my new 5980. I'd also like to share a few thoughts so far.Chronographs are my favourite complication, not because they are the most useful (I rarely need to time anything) but I enjoy them being active insofar as I can engage with the chronograph rather than being passive. The 5980 has been my grail watch since I first saw it, and was a watch I was aspiring to own a few years down the line. However when I read that it was being discontinued it was a case of now or never for a brand new one from an AD. Getting it now meant selling my SS Daytona, Seadweller and Sub LV - these were watches I did not think I would EVER sell so the 5980 has a lot to live up to. Fortunately I am happy to say it is meeting, if not surpassing my expectations. Some of my highlights from my brief ownership so far are as follows:I like my watches on bracelets, and I think the bracelet on the 5980 (and no doubt the 5711) is simply beautiful. I have heard it said that the bracelet
