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.

Font used by Patek for it's logo: Monotype Grotesque Regular
[I searched the forum, but it looks like this hasn't been covered before]Seeing the new PP book with the font so largely printed got me wondering what the font was...

What do you tell your friends
So I wore the 5167 out on the town on Friday night for some drinks and dancing with friends. In doing so, I created some interesting dance moves to keep people from banging into my watch lol. But anyways, one of my friends was noticing my attire and asked what kinda shirt/pants/shoes I was wearing...then he noticed the watch and asked what kind of watch it was. After I mentioned it was a Patek, having no idea what it was, he asked... and how much was it? My question is, do you guys tell people how much your watches really cost, or do you tell a little white lie to keep from alienating them? I hate getting the statements like why would you buy something like that? or if I had that money I would....blah blah blahIm pretty sure Im not the only one who has to deal with this...so what do you guys do?
