Hublot Launches New iPhone App and Contest
Today Hublot is launching a new iPhone application, available free in the Apple App Store. The application allows users to discover the complete Hublot 2010 collection and also offers a several entertaining, original – and in one case even sensitive – experiences which are guaranteed to surprise. The app includes an online game and a chance to win 2 VIP tickets to a Manchester United match in the Stadium of Light. Hublot’s new app is designed for both the iPhone and iPod Touch. It lets you explore the entire Hublot 2010 collection (over 230 models), including the latest new additions. You won’t view simple flat images because the app lets you manipulate the images, allowing you to view the watches from every angle, and even make them operate.You can also “try on” 60 of Hublot’s top models – take a photo of your wrist and view it adorned with the model of your choice, scaled to fit your wrist as if you were actually wearing it.Another uniq

This blue is brilliant - AP ROC
Just saw this at AP Ginza and quite mesmerized by it. The blue dial positively shimmers. It's very different from Jumbo blue which is richer but more shall I say subtle, but this one absolutely dances with the light. Have to say I am quite tempted. Is it true this is now a boutique exclusive? Anyone got more pics to share?

Incoming! First Royal Oak!
...unfortunately, not a Royal Oak for myself! When I first met my gf (back in 2007/8), I noticed she only had a Swatch, and wanted to get her a more 'proper' watch, so to speak. No better way than to start it off with a Seiko...Two years ago, for her birthday, I bought her something which made her really happy!But earlier this week, I think this one put a really, really, really big smile on her face Now, I'd been looking for a Lady Royal Oak for the longest time ever, and finally found one from a AD in the US. Unfortunately, the watch had some imperfections and I requested it be sent back to AP for some rectification. After a two month wait, I finally heard that AP didn't have the necessary parts, and the AD was not able to provide me with an estimate timeline when I would be able to finally purchase the watch.This one is a quartz, and an interim one, but I can tell she's happy nevertheless. Now, it is time for me to start saving up for a 15300...

Calling Omega Experts
Hello, I have the opportunity to buy (what I think is) an Omega Speedmaster Mark V.It is a 43 million serial full set in what looks to be great overall condition (owners manual, hang tag, box, warranty card, receipt, extra links, etc).Are these sought-after? I searched the for sale section for comps but am not sure if I'm searching right. I searched omega Speedmaster mark v and couldn't find another one for sale. Is there a nickname or keyword I should be using?Can anyone look this over, let me know your thoughts as to condition and authenticity, and give me an idea of the demand for these? Also could you point me in a direction to look for current comp prices on these?Thanks in advance.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Panerai Research?
Where is a good place to research which panerai models have which features? I've been scouring the forums but can't really differentiate which PAM's are automatic versus wind, sandwich dial versus not, etc. With so much price variation between specific models/features the only way I can tell if I'm getting a good deal is by comparing it to the list price - but ideally I'd like to just know which one is giving me the best bang for my buck.Eg. Which serial numbers/letters for what dates. Any sites/links/sources?
