Grand Seiko to be Distributed Internationally
Beginning this year, Grand Seiko timepieces will be officially released to international markets. Until now, the Grand Seiko brand has been available only in Japan, and outside collectors have gone to great lengths to obtain these prized watches. Launched in 1960, Grand Seiko represents Seiko’s finest quality timepieces. Every Grand Seiko component, from the movement to the case, is manufactured to the highest standards in-house. Cases are polished by the Zaratsu method to create the flattest mirror-finish surfaces. Hands and hour-markers have razor edges to deliver the best visibility. Mainsprings are fashioned from Seiko’s proprietary Spron alloy. The Grand Seiko collection includes mechanical, quartz and Spring Drive watches, and a wide range of calibers, the majority of which are designed and developed uniquely for Grand Seiko, including the celebrated 9S85 ¡®HI-BEAT 36000¡¯, the 9F quartz caliber with yearly accuracy of +/-10 seconds, and the Spring Drive chronographs wi

Bring a Loupe: Some Quick Picks From A Patek 3670A To A Rolex Submariner Reference 6538 With Whole Kit And Kaboodle
Please forgive the abbreviated Bring A Loupe this week. It was a busy and amazing auction weekend in Geneva and I am off to celebrate a family member’s graduation from law school – congratulations, Jeff! Here are a few quick picks for this week including a Patek 3670A and a Rolex Submariner 6538 with original box, papers, and more. Clebar Chronograph 1 OF 10 This Clebar chronograph features a beautiful panda dial and a great Valjoux 72 movement. It is believed to be a “Poor Man’s Heuer” made under contract by Heuer for Clebar. 2 OF 10 A trusted seller in Washington, D.C. has listed the watch for $2,450. Patek Philippe Reference 3670A 3 OF 10 If this Patek looks familiar to you, it may be that you saw it in Talking Watches with Jean-Claude Biver. The reference 3670A was a limited edition of 16 watches that are incredible in that inside them are vintage caliber 13-130 movements that were unused and foun

Black face regulus?
Hello. First post. Through a family estate, I recently( and unexpectedly) received a Hamilton Electric Regulus. My question is about the color of the face. The only faces I have seen are white but mine has a black dial. Is this unusual? I would like to learn more; I only recently started to enjoy vintage watches and any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Your input appreciated -- pre-owned AP RO condition
Hi all -- I am looking to purchase this 18-year old RO, 18K case with solid back. It comes with box/papers.I am complete newbie to AP, and would appreciate your inputs. I am not sure if the watch shows signs of over polishing (which I gather is a deal breaker for most people), or other issues I need to be aware of. Thanks in advance!

Best selection of Patek in NYC?
So I'll be going to NYC in May for a short business trip and would like go watch browsing but won't have enough time to be bouncing all over the city. The closest Patek AD at home is 1hr 10min away and driving 2hrs to see only a few of the watches on my hit list is too low yield to motivate me. Specifically I'm interested in looking at the 5167 with the tropical band and SS bracelet, the 5167R, the 5711 (both blue & white dials), 5712, 5296R, 5205R, 5146R. Yes the last two are long shots but hey, might as well take a look, right? Based on what I found, it looks like the best place would be on 5th ave- specifically Tiffany's Patek Salon, Wempe, and Tourneau (yes I know how awful it is)- out of the 3, which have the biggest selection? I'm not looking to buy on the spot, I just want to try them on and think about what to do next.You Patek guys are nothing but trouble, you guys are making me rethink my watch collection!
