PO Loupe

This was a freebie with the PO. I like the "bezel" on the top side.

It doesn't really do anything, but it looks cool.

I'd heard about these, but I'd not seen one. It's pretty sweet.

So does this come with all of the newer style POs, or was your AD extra kind?

Looks very nice! It probably will be useful someday if you want to look at little details on your watch.

Either they want you to admire your watch, or it's just in case you have to make some repairs, which I doubt seriously.

Can you take some pics of your watch looking through the Loupe? I've seen people mount microscopes to iPhones for taking pics of snow crystals for avalanche reports, etc.

And I saw the wet shots of your PO, and they look awesome man! Enjoy that watch!

Sweet freebie...........hope that doesn't mean you overpayed for the watch I've recently heard of some pretty good deals from friends of mine who have picked up the new POs, both 8500s and 9300 chronos..........looks like if you stay away from the Boutiques the deals are out there.

That's a really cool freebie. What would make it even cooler would be if it was variable magnification and the bezel spun to control that. :D

Nice, I think that Rolex can learn a few lessons, whilst probably costing peanuts to produce compared with the watch gifts like this certainly add to the purchasing experience...
