Hublot Big Bang Depeche Mode Watch
80s loving Europeans (and well, me too) love Depeche Mode musical entertainment and?Hublot certainly does. Back in 2010, the Swiss brand worked with Depeche Mode to create a limited edition of 12 Big Bang watches each with unique Depeche Mode albums covers (debuted here). Those were sold off for charity. Now three years later in 2013, Hublot once again dances slow with Depeche Mode with a new 250 piece limited edition Big Bang Depeche Mode.Sales of the watches will benefit probably the most PR friendly non-profit charity next to those that save cats and dogs - Charity: Water - that helps bring drinking water to people in the developing world. The watch is all black in a 44mm wide ceramic case and has a series of clos du Paris style pyramids on the bezel, hour markers, and strap. Very Dior (also LVMH by the way), and reminds me of the pyramids that Karl Lagerfeld likes on his new watches. These are certainly interesting Hublot watches and will probably appeal to all the black leather pa

Hublot's Tactic With The Blackeyed Bernie Ecclestone Watch Ad
The first thing that came to mind when I first saw this image in an e-mail from Hublot was "wait, what?" I didn't get it. What was this? At first I thought the image of Bernie Ecclestone was some type of painting. I?am not familiar with his face, but I do know of his work as the guy who runs Formula 1 racing. The British Billionaire's face was distorted with a painful looking black eye and other facial bruises. The 80-year-old was recently violently mugged, and among other things, his Hublot King Power F1 watch was stolen.None of this information was placed in the above image send out by Hublot. In fact, it is entirely cryptic in its messaging. The point of it is simple I think. A beaten up elderly man along with the statement of "See what people will do for a Hublot." Furthering the concept that the watches are so in demand, you'd punch your grandpa for one.Since the release of this image a few days ago, the media has been all over it. Mostly admonishing Hublot for its audacity and la

Greetings folks! Worth snagging this 96?
Hello there! I generally collect Rolex but I have a friend of mine offering a Patek ref. 96 black dialed with sub at 6 watch.I can snap pics next week if that helps. It seems like the dial as some wear/spotting but slight and the metal looks tarnished a tad.He is a very active vintage collector and he is offering me the watch for 3,000.I feel like this is a good investment piece/an important watch in the history of Patek.I am not sure how rare they are or if 3k for the slight wear is worth it? It looks like online they sell for 5-7k gold faced variants.One thing I did notice is that the crown was replaced, it looked like it fit OK but was obviously replaced along the way. The watch appears ot be 18k yellow gold. Any insight? The movement seemed to match what I saw online and was clean. The watch was running fine. I am attracted to Patek, more so as of late so perhaps this is a good segue into it? I know the gentleman really well so that helps. Thanks for any insight you can offer me. I
