Kobe Bryant Likes My Nubeo Black Mamba Watch Review
I was extremely flattered when I learned that LA Lakers player and sports celebrity Kobe Bryant featured an article of mine on his Facebook page. I recently wrote about the Nubeo Black Mamba watch line that was created in conjunction with Kobe Bryant. See the article on the Black Mamba watch here. Yesterday on Kobe's Facebook page, the first content item you saw was a link to my article. I don't know if you realize this, but Mr. Bryant is a popular guy , and he has almost 1.3 million Facebook friends! As of writing there there are 450 comments on the article and over 6,000 views. I am thrilled to see that his fans like Black Mamba watches and of course I will continue to cover the impressive watch line.This is all good news for Nubeo as well, who are getting much deserved praise and attention for their Black Mamba watch line. Thanks Kobe!

Serviced 8 Hour Old Breitling, Rude Customer Service
Hi guys,I'm sure anyone reading this has read my previous post about the Navi 01 dying after 8 hours. Well, I just brought the watch into the Breitling boutique on Madison Ave in NYC about an hour ago, hopefully the watch will be fixed and there will be no problems going forward.I must say, however, that the guy that helped me was one of the rudest people I've ever met in a customer service position.

Then he asked me where I bought the watch, which was given to me as a gift. I had the electronic warranty card with me, and he had it in his hand, and he was literally interrogating me about where the wat

Please help! PO Chrono - real??
Hi,I am considering taking a watch (~2009 Omega Planet Ocean Chrono, pictured below) on trade, and I am scared to death of the PO fakes out there. I tried it on and it feels well made. I am a Rolex guy and have no experience with Omega so I don't know what to look for. I snapped a quick pic with my cellphone, but it's not the best quality. It will come with box, papers, etc. No steel band, just the rubber one. Anyway, the guy seems really nice and knowledgeable, but you just never know with all the fakes out there. Is the helium valve in the correct place? What about the numbers/writing?Thanks a million!Ed

Gold Rolex at the Gym!
I saw a man at my local gym rocking a YG YMII while engaged in some heavy-duty weightlifting. If that isn't an inspiration to wear your watches on all occasions, then I don't know what is!
