The nearly 300 guests included media personalities, French military officers, political figures and watch aficionados.

Please forgive the abbreviated Bring A Loupe this week.

Need feedback on this ceramic diver
HiMy first post here. Been reading the forum for quite a while though. Lots of good info on AP's.I'm looking to buy a ceramic diver and I have narrowed my search down to this one. As you can just about see there are some marks on the edge of the bezel at 6 o'clock. What do you think about this? Do you have anything similar on you ceramic bezel AP's? The seller says that the marks are tiny and barely noticeable. I live far away from the seller, so I'm not able to take a look myself.

Anyone looking for a 5905P ?
If you are message me and I can connect you to a special one. Please, serious inquiries only. Just looking to help out a TRF member. Nothing in it for me Tom 480-703-5486Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is An All Gold Watch Worth the Price?
I've only done some very minor calculations, but it seems that an all gold watch, let's say a Submariner, is much more expensive than a SS version, and at the same time, the value of the gold itself does not seem to match the higher price.For example, msrp for a SS Sub Date is 8,550. But a gold Sub Date is like 26k. I don't think there is 17k worth of gold in that watch, is there? Maybe 8-10k at most. Is the gold just harder to work with? What else might account for the price difference?
