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

Patek Philippe Reference 130 Mono-Pusher Chronograph In Steel Sells For $5 Million, And Other Such S
What is there to say? After Aurel Bacs and the Phillips team proved that one of the least-cool watches in the world could indeed be cool on Saturday night with the Day-Date sale, expectations were high but tempered for Sunday night's Geneva Watch Auction: One, a multi-brand, multi-owner sale encompassing everything from modern, still-in-production JLC's to piece-unique vintage Pateks. The entire sale netted $25.2 million (combined with the Day-Date sale, the weekend pulled in over $31m), and four watches hammered over 1m CHF, including a stainless-steel Patek that brought down $5m on its own. Let's break the sale down for you. Stainless-Steel Patek Philippe Mono-Pusher Chronograph Becomes The Most Expensive Steel Ever Sold, And The Third Most Expensive Wristwatch Ever 1 OF 10 A few weeks back, I wrote a story that there were four watches in this sale that could, and should break $1m.

First PP
A huge thank you to Ken HL65, Benlee for all his fabulous photos, Snipermaverick, kittayos and WhatTheDeuce for all of their advice! Most will not even remember me as I talked to them early in this journey, which started in 2014. I have been looking for this watch since then but was unable to even see one in person until a month ago when my nearest AD got one in. Tried it on and loved everything about it but was not sure of the thickness. Came back home to mull over it and realized I just LOVE this watch. It was the same time that yessir69 posted that his AD was losing PP and found out they had this watch in stock. Long story short, I had them order a deployant clasp and ship it to me and here it is!For the OCD members out there- yes, I still have not set the moon phase yet, I am sorry!!

Incoming PAM320
Hi Guys,I just received my first Panerai today, PAM320. I was looking to buy another Rolex (Hulk) but got the Panerai bug. I was looking for 44mm case with clear back case, in-house automatic movement, seconds hand, date, GMT and power reserve indicator so that short listed my choices to 320/321 and 270. 270 is 5-6k more expensive than 320/321 here in Canada and 321 dial is too busy for my liking so I ended up ordering PAM320. So happy with my choice
