Bring a Loupe: A James Bond Watch, A Mythical Rolex Chronograph, A Rare Eberhard, And Many Other Picks
This week's Bring a Loupe will mark the exciting return of watch auctions, with some picks straight out of London, featuring a legendary Rolex chronograph. Let's not forget some great diving watches and chronographs, and, notably, a quartz Heuer that appeared in a James Bond movie, and a very funky Fortis chrono. This is your Bring a Loupe for August 28, 2015. A Very Rare Anti-Magnetic Watch, The Eberhard Scientigraf 1 OF 11 When you think about anti-magnetic watches, the Rolex Milgaus, the IWC Ingenieur and the Omega Railmaster usually come to mind straight away. The Scientigraf from Eberhard deserves a respectable mention too. You get much more than a plain scientific tool watch, with its very interesting Explorer-type dial and unusual handset, all that in a sweet 38 mm case. On this example, I especially like the typical Eberhard indexes and the lollipop second hand. Casowatches is selling a great Scientigraf here, and it even comes with the original Ebe

Royal Oak Offshore model with the best legibility?
Which 42mm Offshore Chrono model do you feel has the best legibility? As much as I love the ROO lineup I find that for the most part they are somewhat difficult to read at a quick glance; more fashion than function. I have owned a Rubberclad and a Black Themes and both were ok for legibility but not great. I have a Diver (black dial) which is probably the most legible ROO model that A.P. makes but since I am shopping for a Chrono let's leave the Diver non-chrono out of this discussion. Maybe the new 2014+ ceramic with black dial and red accents?

1960's Omega
This watch has a great history: my grandfather acquired it in the mid to late 1960's and unfortunately passed away in a plane crash while wearing the watch. The watch was recovered from the crash and my grandmother kept it in a box for about 50 years. I'm a watch nut (duh), so when my mother found it among my grandmothers things a few years ago she gave it to me. The watch was incredibly in near mint condition and I have kept it pristine. It just got back from its 5 year service, enjoy!

Ref and authenticity?
Hi Patek lovers,Saw this a couple weeks ago and was wondering what everyone's thoughts were re: reference and authenticity?I've gone through countless google images of Calatravas and have only seen one similar (12, 3, 6, and 9 hands being slightly longer). Haven't been able to pinpoint the reference though.Unfortunately didn't have time to check the case back or movement last time. Will make sure to do so next time, hopefully get some pics. What markers should I be looking out for in mov't and case back to ensure authenticity?But based on dial, what do you think?Thanks

Dumb date question
I have a dumb question. On my Submariner Date 116610, the date obviously read 31 today. If after noontime, I advance the date to the 1st, will it be sync and flip to the 2nd at midnight or will it be off by 12 hours? I just stopped the movement and advanced the hands to flip the Date and set the correct time because I wasn't sure, but it would be more convenient to just flip the date over if that will keep the am/pm in sync.
