Bring a Loupe: A Gorgeous Rolex GMT, A Rare Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar, A Rolex Tru-Beat Refe
This week will be dedicated to watches with complications. We start big with the Patek Philippe reference 1526, the first perpetual calendar produced in series, mostly during the 1940s. We will also look at a Rolex GMT with a killer bezel, as well as a Rolex Tru-Beat with a lovely ticking second hand. Finally, we've got a couple of examples of everyone's favorit complication, the chronograph, from a Heuer Carrera to a blue Hamilton Chrono-Matic. This is your Bring A Loupe for April 8, 2016. A Patek Philippe Reference 1526 �C A Legendary Perpetual Calendar With Moon Phase 1 OF 9 The 1526 is one of Patek Philippe's most mythical references – it's the first perpetual calendar wristwatch ever produced in series, from 1941 to 1952.

One week with my new patek
Well ive owned the 5167 for a week now and just wanted to update on how im feeling about it. First. I love this thing...but I can honestly say that while I stated this was going to be my grail piece...it will not be. Rather im setting my next patek bar kind of high and will only purchase it in about another 10 years (when I pass 40 and purchase my second home.) Im glad I took you guys' advice and skipped the B&R for now. I still want it to fill in a gap in my collection, and will still be purchasing it probably the end of this year for Christmas. On to the watch1) Love the look of it. The dial is beautiful and I swear I can stare at the movement for hours. 2) Ive worn it out 2 times now. Once out to dinner and another for some drinks. Both with the GF. No stares and no one even notices it. Makes me worry about it less. 3) Its keeping time well. I feel that when adjusting time and winding that the movement is faaar more delicate than my rolex...and im taking extra care to be gentle

The right way to define GMT
I came across this video showing how he defines GMT watch. Do you all agree with him? Because according to his definition, some Omega GMT watches may not be regarded as GMT because they do not have jump hour function. Many of my GMT watches which used ETA 2893 movement that only can move the 24 hand also are also not regarded as GMT. What do you think?https://youtu.be/NNzKaCZfVh8
