Bring a Loupe: An Untouched Omega Speedmaster, An Unusual Breitling, And Other Interesting Finds (In
This week, you followed all the exciting SIHH novelties live from Geneva; today, Bring A Loupe returns with some really gorgeous vintage watches – or vintage-inspired, in the case of my favorite Grand Seiko. You will notably discover how a Speedmaster looked when it was sold in 1971, and admire a nicely preserved Movado. I have also found an intriguing bullhead watch from Breitling, and a not-so-great medical chronograph from Universal Geneve. This is your Bring A Loupe for January 22, 2016. An Omega Speedmaster Reference 145.022, NOS From 1971 1 OF 14 Finding an untouched example is a recurrent fantasy for watch collectors – probably not as frequent as a time-travel machine to stock up on vintage references, but not far off. Here, this Omega Speedmaster reference 145.022 follows this time-capsule logic: it was purchased in the UK back in 1971 and left in the box since, to the point that the bracelet links are imprinted on the watch holder. As you would

Seiko 6309-7040
Just in today from New York a really neat 6309-7040.Been after one of these for a while now and with the help and honesty of Jim (Poseidon-Jim) I finally got my hands on one. These are an awesome watch and really make you wonder why Seiko changed the case design, the 6309 cushion case is so comfortable on the wrist. Jim released this one to me from his own collection and I can't thank him enough for his help and guidance and allowing me to add this fine watch to my little collection.Thanks buddy

Possible issue with my Chronomat Evolution
My Breitling Chronomat Evolution had been sitting in the bank for a week and I brought it home the other day. I wound up the watch and stuck it into my watchwinder. I went to go check the watch a day or so later and I saw that the watch was about 5 hours slow! The funny thing there was that the watch was still running when I saw the watch. My other watches were fine, so I know the power didn't go out or anything. I fixed the time and have been wearing the watch for the last few days. Now, the time seems fine. It hasn't lost time since.Any explanations?

Trilogy: Batman or Pepsi or something completely different
Hi guys, My first post here, I've been lurking on this forum since getting my first Rolex a few months back. In three months I've turned into a total watch fiend, I am genuinely suprised at how quickly this has progressed. I picked up a new Explorer 1 39mm and luckily enough also managed to get my hands on a Sub no date the month after. I love both and really think these are probably the two best looking and perfectly formed watches ever.But already I have a wandering eye and I'm looking at 1, possibly 2 more watches to complete the collection.I was initially thinking of the original Moonwatch but tbh the quality really seems lacking when I tried it on side by side with the sub and ex. I love the history but it's not doing it for me on the wrist - it feels a bit flimsy and cheap. I went through a Pelagos stage too, but in the end decided it was too similar to my sub.While I've also been admiring the new GMT Pepsi, I can't help but think it's going to light up like a disco ball on the w
