Daffy 105 Posted September 2, 2017 I was watching some of the RGM videos, demonstrating their manual Guilloche work (Fantastic to watch!), and then got to browsing their website. For the price of mass produced Rolex, Omega or Breitlings, you can purchase a hand made timepiece. Low end of 3k, high end of 95k. Then I saw their in house loupes. 3D printed with carbon fiber. The end cap unscrews so that you can clean the lens easily. $25. http://www.rgmwatches.com/new-products/rgm-eye-loupe-made-of-carbon-fibre-and-pla Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuperbMonster 4 Posted September 3, 2017 Will be really interested in your opinion. I'm in the market for a loupe and have had one in "the basket" for a while with cousins waiting for another item in the order to come into stock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Daffy, and yes it would be great if you could ship to the UK. That's is assuming it passes the Daffy test. I think you should send me your cat as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FunnyStarSystem 7,538 Posted September 6, 2017 Have you laid hands on an RWG, Daffy? Quite like the look of some of their pieces, but like a German car they get pricey real fast when optioning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
