Zenith El Primero Tourbillon Watch
This is actually a tourbillon watch I would wear daily. Zenith's new El Primero collection of watches is a thing of beauty. I have been eying them for a while, enjoying how they look on the wrist. They have now announced a tourbillon version of it.Now most of the time when a company takes a new collection and shoves in a tourbillon I hardly take real notice, but in this instance Zenith has put together a satisfying set of feature that you could wear each day - assuming you can afford it of course.Let's pretend for a second that you can. There are two versions of the watch available. Each comes in a 44mm wide case. One is steel with a black and silver dial, and the other is in 18k rose gold with a silver and gold dial. The steel is my choice simply because I like the colors more - but each is quite lovely.Using the good looking new El Primero watch style case the the movement used is Zenith in-house made 4035D automatic tourbillon chronograph movement. Being a high-beat El Primero movem

Bring a Loupe: Two Oversized Vacherons, One Very Slim Piaget, And One Promising Chronograph From Lon
This week's Bring A Loupe will feature an early Autavia chronograph from Heuer, and reveal another from Longines – a true eBay find in all its glory, horrendous pictures included. We will also look into watches with some very special dimensions, starting with the first ultra-thin Piaget with automatic movement, and then examining two incredible Vacheron Constantins, both with oversized cases in pink gold. This is your Bring A Loupe for November 6, 2015. An Early Heuer Autavia Reference 2446 Second Generation 1 OF 11 Two weeks ago we covered in depth an early Autavia that ultimately fetched $45,000 on eBay and today it kind of starts over. Well, this Autavia is not as rare, as it is the second execution of the reference 2446 with screw-back case. In comparison to the first execution that we had spotted earlier, the difference is minute, but for a Heuer aficionado it means a lot: the hands are not full lume anymore, you can see their frame here. Unfortunate

The more I see this watch, the more I like it:

Purchased My First Omega
Finally pulled the trigger and purchased my first Omega watch. I was looking at Seamaster and Aqua Terra models for a while and finally decided to purchase a Aqua Terra James Bond Spectre edition. I can't take my eyes away from the dial and seconds hand, the blue and yellow work so well together. James Bond movies have been in my life since I was a little kid watching the marathon on TV every year and this is something special I probably will not part with. Very excited to wear this beauty regularly as part of the rotation. I added pictures in different lighting situations. Sorry no outdoor shots, bad weather outside. Excuse the hairy arm, thanks Dad.

Which SS Daytona to get?
Having given up trying to get a new SS Daytona from an AD, I've decided to go the Grey route.Which do you think is a better buy for the long term? A newish black dial 116500LN or a 10 year old black dial that has been serviced at RSC?The difference in cost between the two is around ¡ê3,500 (UK).The plan is to keep it for 10 years and then give it to my son. In the mean I will wear the hell out of it.Thanks
