This week's Bring A Loupe will focus on quirky watches, and explain the special something that makes each stand out from the standard production of the brand. Among the beautiful oddities featured, you will discover an interesting Patek with removable lugs and an IWC that hides a compass. This is your Bring A Loupe for November 13, 2015. The IWC Compass Reference 3510A, True Tool Watch With A Twist 1 OF 11 The Compass model was launched in 1978 as a collaboration between Porsche Design and IWC; it offered a very astute way to combine a compass and an automatic movement. Detailed R&D – yielding six patents – was necessary to properly shield the movement from the compass' magnetism and allow a swift opening of the top part to reveal the compass underneath. As a result, the watch is obviously thick – 12 mm – but the 39 mm case size partly makes up for that. In addition, it is divinely light, having been manufactured in both aluminu

Factoid of the Day - 12-08-07
In January 1953, when the Chairman of the White House Press Photographers’ Association presented the American President Harry S. Truman (President from 12.4.1945 till 20.1.1953) with a Vulcain Cricket, this marked the beginning of a tradition which continued right up to Bill Clinton’s term of office (20.1.1993–20.1.2001).*____________*This information is from the Vulcain watch website. I believe the actual model was a Revue Thommen Cricket and Vulcain markets the watch now. However Revue Thommen still makes Crickets manufactured by Grovana, SA - boscoe

Help with winder settings for a couple of AP !
Just got a great 2.7 Wolf watch winder where I can customize the turns per day and direction. I'm trying to 'dial' in the most appropriate settings and any help would be appreciated.I have the 44mm Novelty 26400RO with the 3126 cal. movement and a Rubber Clad 25940SK with the 2326 movement.I've had the novelty on a 350 turns per day bi-directional setting (so 700 per day) and it seems to be ok. However the rubber clad ran out of power reserve and stopped after a few days on the same settings. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated ! TIA !

Any 5164R owners?
Curious if the strap is brown or black? Also are the pushers stiffer? Tempting piece for sure...luring me back into a 5164 ownership...

Patek Philippe from Sears part II
Hello all, I finally got a professional opinion on the watch, Although we did no get much info on the origin of the watch(which is what I was most interested in) I was assured that Patek Philippe is a very high end watch maker lol...I know that. He too was skeptical that it came from Montgomery Ward. But I am of the understanding that Montgomery Ward, back in the day sold much more highend items that they do not sell today. He did say the watch, even though it is a PP, is only really worth its weight in gold because the model is less desireable, but that's fine its still an awesome keepsake with a cool story which I am still on a quest to find more info. I am going to take it to a friend of mine to see if I can't get some more info, I will keep you informed, and again, if anyone else has any knowledge on this model I would be thrilled if you could inform me..rolexforums/showthread.php?t=109621I took a few better pictures, although my picture taking ability is not what it could be.
