Bring a Loupe: A Selection Of Elegant Watches From Jaeger-LeCoultre, Patek, And Rolex
This week's Bring A Loupe will explore a new side of horology, featuring thin and elegant watches that would go so well with a smoking jacket. Expect some great pieces from the most renowned manufactures at tackling slimness issues – Jaeger-LeCoultre and Piaget of course, but also Rolex, with the forgotten Veriflat. For the chrono addicts, get ready for an outstanding Heuer Autavia and a very full set Rolex Daytona. This is your Bring A Loupe for September 25, 2015. Foreword: the case size of the selected watches might appear tiny on paper, however you should consider that a flat profile always increases the perceived dimensions on the wrist, as illustrated by Jack's review of the 36 mm Vacheron Constantin Ultra Fine 1955 here. A Surprisingly Slim Rolex, The Veriflat 1 OF 11 With all the iconic tool watches you know of, Rolex would probably not be the first manufacture to spring to mind when considering a thin dressy watch. However, in the 1950

Yousuf Karsh was a photographer famed for his portraits of celebrities.? One such celebrity that he photographed on a few occassions was Pablo Picasso.?

Rhodium Dial Datejust Has Arrived
I was excited Friday to get the UPS delivery at work in hopes that my Datejust would arrive in the AM delivery. The watch arrived and was a in good shape and came with the inner and outer box and all paperwork, including the sales receipt that show the purchase was made in 2000 in France. The case need a little work and so does the buckle, but for a watch that served as a daily wearer for almost 8 years I am not worried. At first is felt so small compared to my Sub, but after sizing it and wearing for a few hours it just felt like it was always on my wrist. I was not sure if I would want to keep the rhodium dial with the Roman numerals, but i will keep if for a little while and may change it to a white dial with Roman numerals. I now am happy and can start saving for the final watch I would like for my collection, well maybe not the last, but the last modern one, a Daytona. I think I should add one vintage, but that is far down the road. Here are a couple pics.

Out of ten, what score would you give the 15407ST?
There appears to be a very strong fanbase for the 15407ST, though given the highly limited and controlled supply we do not see many pieces amongst members. Given that, I am interested to see just how highly collectors revere this relatively unique piece.

First Paneria
A friend showed up on our annual Scotland hunting trip with a new Paneria. Up to now, I've only seen him wear Rolex. I'm intrigued. I own 4 Rolex and 2 Patek and I'm toying with the idea of adding a Paneria, but the choices are bewildering even after a lot of research.I want a date and the tritium lume and the crown protector. I have a 7 wrist so the 47mm is too big. I'm confused about in house movement vs ETA movement. I don't like the ceramic look. I have old eyes so ease of reading the time is important.Suggestions?
