In this week's Bring A Loupe, we've got a wide range of incredibly rare vintage pieces – some of which are offered by dealers that are, more or less, "off the grid," but that I've encountered in my travels – and rare and special contemporary pieces from modern favorites Journe and Lange. Further, if you've been hunting a rare vintage chronograph, boy do we have some options for you today – think an Hermes-signed Universal, a mythical Heuer "Dark Lord," and a 1930's AP chrono in pink gold.

Last BNIB stainless steel watch before Tax month :(
That's it...no more watches for the year (3 total) because I have a huge tax bill this year. This one is for wife's birthday coming up. And I want to thank Takuya for helping me locate it. I highly recommend purchasing from him and I would add him to the list who can be trustworthy.

Rolex hard at work!
I¡¯m very torn for my next upcoming purchase, hoping my fellow Rolex fans can help me out! I work in real estate development and although I¡¯m in more of a managerial position these days there¡¯s nothing like jumping in the hole yourself and getting your hands dirty Aesthetically I definitely prefer a GMT of some sort but I have become enamoured with the ruggedness of the Explorer II. I worry that the GMT isn¡¯t made for those environments, I would love to see your Rolex in the craziest situations you have put them through, let¡¯s see those pics!!!
