Hublot Big Bang Gold for the Holidays
This holiday season, Hublot suggests the Big Bang Gold. The 5N red gold case measures 44.5mm in diameter and features a bezel wearing a vertical satin finish with 6 titanium H-shaped countersunk, polished screws. The anti-reflective sapphire crystal covers a matte black dial with red gold indexes that match the color of the case. The crown and push-pieces are similarly 5N red gold, with rubber inserts. The sapphire crystal display back reveals a Hublot caliber HUB 4100 mechanical automatic winding chronograph movement consisting of 252 components including 27 jewels. The bridges are micro-blasted, beveled and polished. The rotor is tungsten carbide with a black PVD-treated dimpled surface. The power reserve is 42 hours. The strap is lined natural black rubber, and the clasp is a 5N red gold with black PVD deployant.You may click the image to view a larger version.

4 years of AP ownership
A look back at AP 4 years back, I treated my self to the ROO RC 4 years ago and never looked back. What I noticed is that the brand wasn't as popular as it is today locally speaking when compared to Rolex, Chopard and Cartier which are dime a dozen here.My BumbleBee is the current holygrail of my watch collection today, it's a truly spectacular piece and I try to wear it as much as I can. I love the brand and I feel I'm stuck in this watch craze for many years to come. To me the BumbleBee will always be the mostly tastefully done special AP because it's 1) Lightweight2) Ceramic Bezel3) Tastefully done yellow highlights3) Carbon 4) Hornback5) Overall Decoration.6) Size 42mmThese criteria's made me get it without no hesitation. In regards to my 42mm ROO RC its like the GMT2 Pepsi of the AP world in my perspective. A discontinued model that really has kept it's appeal for many years and I will never replace this watch because it has a special meaning to me and it's my first AP which I got

5167 availability in U.K.?
Hi allAlways admired but have never really considered it on my wrist until recently. I currently own a Sub and Daytona (which I wouldn't let go of) but still find myself looking at the 5167 more and more.Finances mean I can't fund one presently but this forum and the 5167 comments / photos is doing a great job of making my mind up to commit to myself on focusing in on purchasing one within the next year.Can anyone advise on availability in the U.K.?Thanks

visit the AD for my other dilema and...
So I paid a visit to my trusted ad and while discussing the 5980 and 5960 he shows me this from the back. Obviously I am one track mind... patek always. But it was a an interesting choise and cheaper.

Which PP next?
Hi,I'm a long time lurker but this is my first post.I bought my first PP earlier this year, 5167 and absolutely love it. I've always been a Rolex guy and currently have Sub LV and Sub 14060 but have also had a ceramic GMT and a stunning oyster perpetual which I sold for the 5167.I'm getting the itch again and since turning to PP there's no going back. I fancy something more classic, I have 3 sports watches at the moment and love them but I need something a bit different. I've been thinking of a Calatrava, Initially the 6000g but I think that was just because I'm instantly drawn to sports models/ black dials. I've ruled that out now. So where next? 5127g, v nice and is a contender but I'm not sure I want the date function, I love the fact that the dial of my 14060 looks so balanced without a date on it. I've been looking at the PP 5196g a lot online and plan to check it out in person. This would definitely be very different to the models I currently have, which is a good thing. What are
