Introducing the Hexa Q500
Hexa is young watch brand that made a fair amount of noise in the affordable watch world earlier in 2013 with the release of their 500-meter K500 diver. Hexa was founded with the goal of developing "purpose-built instruments that feature innovative and original design solutions" and with the K500 it appears that they delivered on that promise. Ranging in price from $624 to $799, the K500's are certainly affordable, and their uniquely asymmetrical, rugged design give them a signature look.Now, Hexa is back with the release of their second watch, the Q500, a more affordable quartz version of the original K500. What the brand is affectionately referring to as "a grab-and-go quartz tool diver" the Q500 offers the same case design found on the K500 at a decidedly more budget friendly price of $350 with custom Italian rubber dive strap and optional upgrade to 5 link bracelet. Also like the K500, the Q model is designed, built and tested in the US with 2-year manufacturers warranty by L��m-Tec

Bring a Loupe: Two Vintage Omega Speedmasters, A Larger Patek Calatrava, A Great Futurematic From Jaeger-LeCoultre, And More
This week, Bring A Loupe covers some of the most emblematic wristwatches ever made – watches that have become symbols of the companies that made them. We're starting with a couple of vintage Speedmasters, and you will also see a Futurematic from Jaeger-LeCoultre as well as a Cricket from Vulcain, both technically advanced watches for their time. Finally, Bidder Beware returns with two watches that you should absolutely not buy on eBay today (or ever). This is your Bring A Loupe for January 15, 2016. An Omega Speedmaster Reference 2915-3, AKA The Transitional 1 OF 12 The Reference 2915 was the first Speedmaster ever produced, over a three-year span from 1957 onwards. As it often happens with vintage watches, it is also the most coveted and valuable of the Speedmasters; think for instance of the first GMT from Rolex or the first waterproof chronograph from Patek – both enjoy greater success with collectors than later models.

Would you rather..?
Hi All! Question..If you have both the GMT II Ceramic black and Submariner No-Date Ceramic, which would you keep on the bracelet and which would you play with on different NATO and leather straps?Thanks!!

DJ41 Jubilee Links... Nobody has them...
Big wrists are a curse for Rolex people. After purchasing a DJ41 w/ jubilee (all stainless 126300), considering adding a link for the hot and humid summer coming up. Nobody has them... The links are unique to the DJ41 so previous model links do not work. eBay, grey market, etc. - None. Rolex AD said 3 week wait to get one with $20 shipping (sourced from Switzerland?). If anyone knows a source (besides AD), would be thankful for a point in the right direction. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Submariner Hulk (116610LV) vs. GMT Master II Two-tone (116713)
So I already own a BLNR (116710 BLNR) that gets 95% of my wrist time due to sentimental value. And I also currently own a GMT II Two-Tone (116713) that I absolutely LOVE but doesn't get a lot of wear. As Rolex enthusiasts, which would you prefer as a secondary watch to the BLNR? The Hulk or the GMT Two-tone? Would love your honest opinions and reasoning.
