Hublot King Power Usain Bolt Watch
Hublot brand ambassador and all-around nice guy Usain Bolt just got his first limited edition watch. Usain Bolt is the fastest recorded runner and is often affectionately referred to as the "fastest man in the world". Actually he is not from Africa but rather Jamaica. A little while ago (before this watch was released) I got a chance to interview him. I actually asked him some questions about what a limited edition Hublot watch for him might look like. Let's see if his answers match up to the result.[youtube youtubewatches-dealer/watch?v=ZRu4hr-Z4tA]Inherently there isn't much new here because this is your standard King Power Chronograph watch. I discuss it because I think Usain is pretty cool and it is interesting to see many of the "reasons" for Hublot limited edition watches. What is different are the little touches that make it special for Mr. Bolt. What a damn good last name for a champion runner right? I've always thought that. According to Hublot, the strap is made from "exactly

Jacob & Co. Lord Of The Bling Dances His Way Into Jail; No, Not For Selling Fugly Watches
Tragedy ensues in many communities as watch maker and jeweler Jacob & Co. founder Jacob Arabov will be sent to prison for 30 months. The crime was essentially laundering drug money and lying to law enforcement while providing false documents. Arabov's organized crime client "The Black Mafia Family" (this is what they are called and I am not sure if it is a literal statement, but I feel bad for their lack of creativity if it is) seemed to entrust "Jacob the Jeweler" with lots of drug money. Naturally, you'd give illicit money to the jeweler to entrust right? He'll just put your money into high yield precious gems. Arabov did anyone would do, defer to a big client when 100s of millions of dollars are at stake. I honestly feel bad for the guy, stuck between a rock (diamond) and a hard place (more diamonds). He probably felt like he didn't have much of a choice.It is no secret that bling happy hip hop stars often lack what I personally would describe as good taste. A few years ago, the

Thinking about trading my 116520 for a 16710 or Another "Choose for me" thread
I'm about to make the decision on whether or not to trade my white dial Daytona for a no-holes GMT (Originally black, but comes with a Coke insert too) and some cash. I've been wearing my 16610 for several months now, & I haven't missed the Daytona on my wrist. I find the Daytona to be a bit more difficult to read when glancing at an angle, and it's definitely a scratch magnet... BUT IT'S A DAYTONA!!! I love the way both the Daytona and Sub feel on my wrist, and I've posted before about how I hope that the GMT would wear wear similarly to the Sub. I use the date function with some frequency, have no use for the chrono function on the Daytona, and wouldn't have much use for the GMT function (but it would probably be used at some point). The additional cash that I'd get will hopefully go towards a 214270 in the not to distant future, which I believe would round out a great three watch collection. In short, I'm looking for any input that the forum may have to steer me in one direction

Crystal chips. Embrace or replace?
Hey guys.Took my watch to a new watchmaker to get authenticated today. He had it for a very short amount of time while I waited and was very nice, showed me the movement and lubricated the gaskets, didn't charge me anythingUpon taking the watch back and inspecting I saw some crystal chips. I can't recall them being there when I purchased the watch. I'm almost 99% sure they weren't. So it either happened by my wearing it, or by the authentication at the watchmaker. I am not going to blame him because I am unsure.Regardless. Should I replace the crystal or embrace the imperfections as my own?What would you doSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
