Hublot King Power Los Angeles Lakers Watch
In 2013, Hublot announced a new partnership with the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team as their official timekeeper and presumably watchmaking partner. At the same time, Hublot announced a watch collaboration with Lakers star player Kobe Bryant and watches-dealer went hands-on with the Hublot King Power Black Mamba limited edition watch for Kobe Bryant here. For 2014, Hublot now releases a watch exclusively for the team with the Hublot King Power Los Angeles Lakers timepiece.Swiss watch brands Hublot and Audemars Piguet have for a while been competing over visibility when it comes to attracting American basketball fans with the resources to purchase high-end luxury watches. Back in 2011, I discussed the beginning of what was a turf war for the best basketball teams and personalities between Hublot and Audemars Piguet. While Audemars Piguet has players such as LeBron James on their ambassador roster, Hublot has people like Dwyane Wade and Kobe Bryant. Interestingly enough, while both b

Montblanc Villeret Grand Chronographe Enamel Dial Watch
Most people haven't followed Montblanc's ascension to a high-end watch maker like I have. The path they made from even making timepieces in the first place to where they are now is interesting, and only took about 10 years. Villeret 1858 collection watches are among their highest-end pieces and rely on Montblanc Villeret - which was formerly Minerva. This Grand Chronograph Enamel Dial is like an old-world pocket watch in wrist watch form. Even the back of it opens up like a pocket watch. The enamel dial (here in blue) is quite amazing, and at 47mm wide - this isn't your usual petite classy timepiece. Oh, and the movement decoration is really good.See my full article on the Montblanc Villeret Grand Chronographe Enamel Dial watch here.See Montblanc and Minerva watches on eBay here.See Montblanc items on Amazon here.

1.5 link for steel roc
Question, I heard there is a 1.5 link available for royal oak chronos on bracelet, when I had my watch sized they took out 3 links and it was too lose, then with 4 links out it was too tight, is the 1.5 link the solution and does anyone know how much it costs for steel bracelet and gold bracelet? thanks

Show me your Yacht-Master II Pics!
As I wait patiently for my Deep Sea JC to arrive I am on a search for my next watch. I know the YM II is not as popular on this site as the LVc. But the LVc and the YMII are the two watches that have my attention, and that I can get my hands on this year. So I would love to know which one you like the best. The three choices are of course the SS, TT Steel and Everose Gold, and the Yellow Gold. I like them all but I am leaning towards to the TT.Also I noticed that the YMII is in many ADs. So if you got a discount and you care to share what percentage you may have gotten off that would help me out in the buying process. If you paid MSRP that is good information as well. So show us your pics of this beautiful watch and let me know what you think of these three.Thanks in advance!
