Hublot Big Bang Atomic D-38 Watch Proves Your Manliness With Radioactive Uranium
Celebrating A Decade Of Big BangTen years ago in 2004, Hublot first released the Big Bang: a timepiece that would forever change the brand and would help put then owner (now Chairman) Jean-Claude Biver on the minds of the general public as well as arguably make him the most important person in the modern watch industry. Under Jean-Claude Biver, the design philosophy at Hublot has been "fusion," or rather the combination of a range of materials in their ever expanding catalog of watches.Over the years, Hublot has produced timepieces that have featured an array of rare or unique materials not often seen in watch making, such as tungsten or magnesium, and developed their own materials and alloys such as King Gold and Magic Gold. The pursuit of new and unique materials for horology is really the search for emotion and exclusivity. As one of the ultimate lifestyle brands, Hublot wanted to do something special and very difficult for the 10th anniversary of the Big Bang.Uranium As An Exclusiv

It's been a rough three weeks since my heart surgery but today I felt good enough to return some phone calls that had come in while I've been out.One of those was Jim at Continental. When we had talked pre-hospital, his wife of 52+ years had just died. He and June were more than husband and wife, they were business partners. Anyone who had ever called Continental most likely had the call answered by June. Needless to say, Jim could not visualize continuing without her. He had decided to hang it up. When we talked today, Jim had done a 180. What changed? It was all the calls, emails, and cards from friends and customers expressing condolences and urging him not to close down. So it's back to business as usual. He's eliminating the office overhead and 800 number (which may in turn be reflected in his pricing). The Continental direct phone line will still be good with rollover and voicemail.Everyone needs a reason for getting up each morning and this will be good for Jim. Thanks everyone.

How does this look to you?
Dear TRF members I need y'alls help!I have very little experience with Patek, and I know you can't tell me much based on this poor photo, but if you can please let me know how does this piece look to you? Is it a redial? Any help would be highly appreciated:

After thorough review, this watch needs to be in EVERYONES collection.
Let me first start by saying I was wrong.I'll admit whenever someone would bring up Tudor, I'd roll my eyes. All this talk about the Black Bay on the forums. Why would I care about a watch that was budget version of a Submariner? Especially since I have many Rolex divers...... stupid me.My snobbish attitude towards Tudor kept me away from probably one of the best modern sport watches of our time. Fast forward to the Vegas GTG. My brothers graduation was coming up, so I decided to get a Black Bay Heritage ETA for him. I ended up winning another Tudor in the raffle (Hurray TRF!) and chose another BB ETA for myself.I get home, look at it for a bit and throw it in the safe. It might as well have been lost in between all the other watches. Even the Rolex stable wasn't getting much time since I've been in the AP/PP pool, why would the Tudor see the light of day again?Months go by, and I figure why not let's put it on. I love my five digits, but they felt a bit undersized and fragile. My six
