Bring a Loupe: A Knockout Selection Of Vintage Chronographs From Eberhard, Heuer, And Universal Geneve
This week's Bring A Loupe is mostly about chronographs, one of the most useful (if not the most useful) complications out there. I could not resist featuring a couple of Heuer and Universal Geneve; they simply look too good! You will also find a rare Eberhard Contograf with an interesting date display, and a smaller Submariner from Tudor. This is your Bring A Loupe for December 4, 2015. A Heuer Camaro 73443, With Exotic Dial 1 OF 10 A Heuer Camaro had already made its way into our favorite watches under $5,000. While this example might set you above this budget, it really demonstrates the appeal of the Camaro, especially this reference 73443 with the date at 6 o'clock.

SMP Blue Wave?
My first luxury watch was an SMP wave blue chronometer.I see now they updated with coaxial but thats about it (no new bracelet)?Are they discontinuing this model soon, is that why they aren't updating the wave dial?I like ceramic but the wave dial is so gorgeous, am i alone here?

Strap size needed
I have an Omega Seamaster full size Quartz #2221.80 coming to me. Does anyone know what the strap width of this watch would be? ThanksLarry
