Hublot Celebrates FIFA World Cup Timekeeper Role With Official World Cup Watch
Hublot has announced the signing of one of the most prestigious agreements in its history. The brand will serve as the Official Timekeeper and Official Watch for the next two FIFA World Cup events in 2010 and 2014. This is the first time in FIFA World Cup history that a watchmaking brand will serve as the Official FIFA Timekeeper and have a presence on the substitution board. To commemorate this agreement, Hublot is unveiling the official licensed watch of the FIFA World Cup: a timepiece reflecting the gold of the coveted FIFA World Cup Trophy. The case, bezel and dial are fashioned from 5N pink gold, with a subtle tone-on-tone drawing of the prestigious FIFA World Cup Trophy at 6 o’clock. The Trophy is also engraved on the solid-gold caseback. The 45mm case houses an automatic-winding HUB1112 caliber.This Classic Fusion model is available in a series of just 100 numbered pieces with an MSRP of $29,500.Technical specifications appear below the images, which may be enlarged with a

Newly acquired AP FC Diver!
I'm going to enjoy it. I tried both CE and FC. Love CE sapphire back much but can't trade that with FC beautiful marbling texture and lightness!!!Don't say FC is bad or BS... Know there are so much people who loves FC as much as I do (love CE as well, so kudos CE owners!) 71eh_AP_FC_Diver_Short.jpg

Tiffany Co-Brand... Deal / No Deal ?!?
Here is the issue... the SF Patek location has three pieces that are on my short list... PP 5205G, PP 5396G and PP 5227G. The issue is that I have been looking for a 5227 for a while and I would like either a 5205 or 5396 as well. I could buy now or wait. If I buy from Tiffany there is no discount, nada ! The benefit is that the dial of each piece is co branded with the Tiffany name which is unique and cool IMO. I don't plan on selling any of these but rather pass down, but if I did sell, the fact they have the Tiffany name on the dial I was told would command a premium aftermarket. Don't know if that is true but there. To sweeten the deal, the salesperson told me he would throw in a fold over clasp for the 5227 and 5205 at no additional cost (5396 already has the fold over clasp) and add two additional alligator straps at no additional cost.Now, I have no issue buying at full price to get what I want now, but my concern is that god forbid, something happens to the Tiffany name

The struggle is real
Witnessed today while I was picking up two new watches (incoming post later)...Man - hey I called this morning to see if you had a Sub date, I'd like to buy it please.AD - yes we got it in this morning but it was sold earlier today.Sorry bro
