Hublot Depeche Mode Album Cover Watches
This pretty awesome collection is going to make a lot of Depeche Mode fans angry. Not because they are bad homages to the band, but because there will only be one set of them made, which will be auctioned off for charity. Each of the 12 piece unique watches will be auctioned off separately (February 8 - 24, 2010) , but that isn't to say that one super rich, super fan is going to buy them all up. There is one watch for each of the 12 Depeche Mode albums. You can see that in the center of the otherwise black toned Big Bang model watches is the album cover art, with a unique image on the sapphire crystal caseback as well for each album. In order to give room to the Depeche Mode album cover art on the dial, Hublot removed the subsidiary seconds dial. A good way to add space without removing too much functionality. If someone really want to measure seconds they can use the chronograph. Hublot designers have even matches the stitching of the watch strap to match one of the prominent colors o

The Many Faces Of The Legendary Omega Speedmaster Watch
I tend to keep mega popular watches like Rolex and Omega at arms length for the most part. It's not that they aren't nice watches, but it is too obvious of a choice. As though you didn't put a lot of effort into getting your watch because it is the default for many people. Walk around with an Omega and people know the brand, it's nothing particularly unique or eye catching. But then again, there is a reason some of these models are so popular.Omega has the rare privilege of selling true classics. And while I am not the biggest fan of all their watches, the Swatch Group owned brand has their share of laudable designs. Today I am speaking of the Speedmaster series of watches. There are experts on this watches; those fans who are familiar with the many iterations and fascinating history of the "Moon watch." I am not one of those people, but I can tell you what I know. The Omega Speedmaster was chosen by NASA for it astronauts in the late 1960s for the Moon missions. The design is pure leg

Interested in thoughts on a Breitling chronograph
A member here got me interested in the now-discontinued a13340 Breitling Superocean chronograph. I'm curious as to what folks here think of it, as compared to (for example) a Tudor 79260. The Breitling has a Caliber 13 movement, based on the well-known ETA Valjoux 7750 movement. My understanding is that Tudor has also used the 7750 for its chrono's from time to time.This Breitling has a vintage, golden-age-of-aviation (1930's) vibe that really appeals to me, especially on a Breitling leather Croc strap. If I can find a reasonably-priced one (mid 2's), think it's worth a try?

What is fair market value for a 321 pre-moon speedy?
Hi, I started out looking at a new PO, but I've been gravitating towards a 321 or 821 Speedy lately. I like, old cameras, old watches old HIfi, and I have a couple of restored '60's cars that are my passion. I also like the idea that like with anything vintage, if I buy it right, I can always get out of it later without too big a hit if I want something else.So now to the question; what is fair market value for a nice 321 pre-moon? I've seen some on E-bay, but the prices are all over the place... Since I would like to wear it, would I be better with an 821? Is there a dedicated Speedmaster forum where like minded Speedyheads congregate?Thanks for any input.Paul
