Bring a Loupe: Great Vintage Watches From Universal Geneve, Heuer, Cartier, And Rolex
This week's Bring a Loupe will present you a handful of great vintage chronographs from Universal Geneve, Heuer, and Enicar. We will also cover a sporty Rolex Explorer that traveled magnificently through time, as well as a very elegant Cartier with a twist. This is your Bring a Loupe for September 4, 2015. An Early Rolex Explorer II In NOS Condition 1 OF 7 The Explorer II reference 1655 is a die-hard tool watch originally intended for cave explorers. This explains its most striking feature: the prominent 24-hour orange hand that allows one to tell a.m./p.m. time when underground and out of sight of the sky. This unique arrow gave this reference its Italian nickname – Freccione – while the Steve McQueen Explorer moniker is bogus, as the actor never owned or wore a 1655. The Explorer II offered here is the most sought after – a Mark I example with a straight second hand (the later iterations featured a lollipop hand instead). The watch seen here

Queens Crown - Part II
As you may have saw, the wife had me return the YG & SS Datejust I got her this weekend. She thought about it, and while she liked it, she decided she really liked the rose gold version instead. So, Monday I took it back & exchanged it. Had to wait to pick it up, so today went down to the AD & got itOf course, I was obligated to post some new pictures.. While I liked the texture of the pyramid dial on the YG & SS, I really like the simplicity of the plain silver dial here New warranty card! Has the ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX enscription!! Some back shots...And of course some lume...She really likes the rose gold colorSo looks like it's a keeper!!!

AP Diver Craving Mexican Food
Today it's been 10 years since my Mother passed. In her honor, my Diver and I came to eat some real authentic Mexican food at my favorite hole in the wall place here in Chitown.I had Totopos con Salsa Negra (chips with black salsa), Huarache de Bistec con Queso Fresco (corn masa flatbread with refried beans, steak and fresh cheese), Taquitos de Chorizo y de Chicharron en Salsa Verde (Mexican sausage and pork rinds in green sauce tacos) and to wash it down, a freezing cold Bohemia beer.

Selling several watches for a Patek
Hi everyone,I know it's another Selling for a Patek thread, but just wanted to get some thoughts...I currently have a small collection of 4 watches (which I've managed to bring down from a previously higher number of 8)...2 of these are Rolexes and one is an AP RO. I am seriously considering selling two watches, namely a Rolex and the AP RO for a Nautilus 5711, but then that would cut down the collection to three. I would like to know if there are any forum members who have experienced cutting down in order to accommodate a Patek. I am quite decided for now and am actually thinking that maybe a smaller collection would put me at peace but then again that might just be me wanting to convince myself to get the Nautilus!!!Any thoughts would be appreciated....thanks
