Bring a Loupe: A Rare Speedmaster, Two Chronographs With Famous Movements, And A French Diver's
This week's Bring A Loupe brings us back to the 1950-'60s era with some rare watches from Longines, Minerva, and Rolex. Time-only, chronograph, and dive watches are all represented here, underlining the timeless beauty of vintage timepieces. We have also selected the best lots from an upcoming Omega auction in Sweden, including a very nice Omega Speedmaster with an interesting orange hand. This is your Bring A Loupe for October 23, 2015. A Very Rare Longines, The Reference 2160 With Mushroom Pushers 1 OF 12 Usually, I don't feature non-functioning watches but I had to make an exception for this Longines from the 1930's. You can immediately see how rare it is, with one glance at its mushroom pushers and another at the legendary 13-ZN movement with fly-back function. The downside of this watch is obviously its poor condition, from a washed-up dial to a movement that needs some serious servicing. It is evidently too special to be called a project watch

Vintage Dial Replacement Question
Greetings.I posted this over on the Bulova forum but it might be more appropriate for the Beginner's Watch Forum so I'm reposting it here...I am new to the watch hobby and have been reading and researching for several weeks now. I am having two old watches serviced that my Dad left me over 20 years ago. One is his WWII Hamilton and the other is a 1965 Bulova Commander.I recently bought a Bulova off of eBay in what might have been a moment of poor judgement (sigh).. Luckily, I didn't pay an awful lot. From research I've done, it appears to be a 1959 (L9) Sea King with a totally wrong replacement dial. The case, movement, hands, and crystal all appear to be correct and in good shape though.What are my options for getting a correct dial on it? Do I have to find an original replacement dial or can a reproduction be made? Is a picture of the correct dial adequate to work with?I found a picture on eBay of what I believe the correct dial looks like (on right). I've also posted a picture of th

Swiss Military watch bezel replacement
I'm having a problem with a swiss military (hanowa) jungfrau watch that I bought awhile ago, I want to replace the watch bezel, which broke but I need some tips on where to buy watch bezels and how to replace it correctly, it's a swiss made quartz watch around 40mm, I'll post a picture below of what the watch looks like from the website, thanks.

Back again?????
An owner of a 41mm ROC i bought my wife a Lady oak at Christmas. We had some challenges with the Boutique and it put me off AP for a little while. My last purchase took me back to the everyone must have staple of DD2. After her initial reservations my wife is now loving her RO and in favour of the larger size has sold her daily beater 26mm DJ. She is now in the market for a new watch. I have been trying to push her towards PP but most of not all in my price range are Quartz. My preference for her remains ever reliable tand tough Rolex in 31 or 36 but she loves the Millenary lady in Pink gold 77301OR.ZZ.D015CR.01 My questions are:Has anyone had any exposure to this watch, unlike most other APs they appear to be thin on the ground in the preowned marketplace and I wonder as to whether that may be a testament. Is her SS RO really a daily beater ( the lack of screw in crown worries me) Should I get back into the world of AP or should I gently push her in another direction

Omega Reference Number
Hi all,I am selling my 2001 Omega Speedmaster. Its a really nice watch, but I recently upgraded so its time to let my Speedmaster go. I've decided to do it locally so I don't have to hassle with shipping, plus I've never sold a watch before so I'm not a TS.I posted it on Craigslist. Respondent didn't ask for my Watch Number, but he asked me to give him the Reference Number. Is it safe to do so? Most of the watches I see for sale on this Forum block the (serial) numbers out. Thanks!
