Bring a Loupe: A Diverse Selection Ranging From A $500 Takano To A $25,000 Rolex GMT Retailed By Tiffany
This Bring A Loupe looks at unusual watches, all with a twist that makes them collectible in their own right. We start strong with a rare military Omega, and a minty Rolex GMT-Master retailed by Tiffany. Chronograph love is there this week as well, with an undervalued Minerva and an unexpected Universal Geneve Aero-Compax. And you'll discover a couple of defunct brands, including the ephemeral Takano and the budget-friendly Clebar. This is your Bring A Loupe for February 26, 2016. An Omega Military Reference CK 2777 With Original Thin Arrow Dial 1 OF 8 You might remember this super rare military Omega from our visit to Omega's museum collection, here. The Reference CK 2777 represents a crucial step for Omega: a 37mm antimagnetic watch to answer a special order from the British Minister of Defense for the Air Force, in 1952. This reference fights magnetism with a thicker dial and inner soft iron cage, exactly like the first Railmaster CK2914 launched in 1957

Any Epos owners out there?
How do you like your watch? They look very nice and well made. A tad bit out of my price range, but maybe in 20 years I'll be out of debt and can afford one!

Does anybody know anything about the Royal Oak Chrono "Kasparov"?
Speaking to a friend earlier, he made me aware of the Royal Oak Chronograph Kasparov. This is something I've never heard of and all I can find are chrono24 sellers charging more for Kasparov models.Is there any information regarding this and therefore any tips on how to differentiate between a Kasparov and non-Kasparov; or is it all a load of rubbish with sellers just bumping up their prices? Thanks in advance!

What is it?
Upon arriving home from a week-long journey, I found myself in possession of a new steel on steel 311.30.42.30.01.002 40th Anniversary Moon Landing timepiece. Apparently -- my wife hasn't found me so objectionable after 30 years of marriage. ;>)In looking at the back of the watch, I've noticed a small mark that's roundish in nature and appears 'frosted' in color. It is so light that I've yet to see it appear in a photo of this model. It is almost imperceptible. It appears just prior to the word THE in the wording, THE FIRST WATCH WORN ON THE MOON. The large photo that I've included is stock Omega. I can't get close enough with my own camera to do justice to the explanation. It's absence in the stock Omega photo may well be just that. It is absent.From the shape, I'm wondering if it isn't the same mark (small photo) that I have seen on the back of a Schumacher model 321.32.44.50.01.001 where it's very obvious?Is this the star that I've read about that doesn't necessarily appea
