Bring a Loupe: A Submariner You Probably Haven't Seen Before, An Enicar You Likely Did Not Know, And A Heuer Autavia You Absolutely Should Not Buy
This week's Bring A Loupe will cover rare and attractive watches, available right now on eBay and at upcoming European auctions. Among our picks, you should not miss one of the rarest Tudor Submariners: the reference 7923, an early diver with a manually-wound movement. You will also find a white dial chronograph from Enicar, and a highly controversial Heuer Autavia. Dive watches will be represented, with a rare Longines and a funky Universal Geneve. This is your Bring A Loupe for November 20, 2015. A Funky Polerouter Sub From Universal Geneve �C A Lot Of Orange At Once 1 OF 12 The second execution of the Polerouter Sub makes the first execution that we covered here appear almost conventional in comparison. Design-wise the second execution announced the 1970's with its bright orange hands, its large asymmetrical case, and the innovative indexes. Like the first execution, it houses an automatic movement with micro-rotor, the caliber 69, a rare feature in a div

Can't justify 15300 over 15202. Nor can I justify 15202 over 5711 =/
Now this is an endless dilemma!So I can't justify paying $14,500 which is currently the going price for the 15300, when the 15202 is a $3500 difference.The 15202 is newer, has a much better movement, thinner, a nicer looking blue dial; The 15300 also has caused a lot of problems with the movement, and the clasp, etc.Not to mention the 15300 current prices are higher than they were being sold brand new only a year and a half ago. Which makes me doubt how long the value will be helding to the next problem.The 15202 is a couple of 1000s away from the 5711.The 5711 is my grail watch, but I simply can't go above 18K at this time.

Off Topic -- need your opinions about VC Chrono or AP Diver

Talking with the watchmaker at my AD - PREDICTION!
You heard it here first! Without a doubt! It's for sure!!!! That... someone I know thinks something will happen at basel 2018!!!!!! Ahem... speaking with a knowledgeable watchmaker at my AD, also a great guy, he and I were talking and he suggest/think/predicts that the 3186 will be replaced in 2018. He said the movement has been around a while, and with all the new improvements in the 3200 series (like my 3235 DJ41 ) Rolex will update the GMT out of the 3100 in to 32... something. Heck, I'll predict it's the 3274! Anyway, it kind of makes sense, the 3186 has been powering the GMTs and older Explorers for many years... Time for an upgrade?
