Introducing: The Hublot Big Bang Unico Sapphire
Just when you thought Hublot couldn't get any crazier, they go ahead and release a clear watch. That's right, CLEAR. The Big Bang Unico Sapphire automatic flyback chronograph is the first new release in anticipation of Baselworld. If this is just a pre-release, then I can't imagine what the brand will have to present in March. 1 OF 2 So first things first, what is this thing made of? Believe it or not, it is made of none other than sapphire crystal. Hublot has managed to take the same stuff used to make transparent case backs and molds it into actual Big Bang cases. This was no easy feat. The case middle, bezel, and case back were all cut out of blocks of sapphire crystal, which is scratch resistant and is almost as hard as diamonds. Titanium was used for smaller elements, including the screws, crown (additionally molded with silicon), and the deployant buckle. Overall the watch measures 45 mm in diameter. 2 OF 2 The skeletonized dial is made of

Let's talk Volcano
This is a model, in the AP line that is something of a love/hate model isn't it?Friends of mine seem to love it or hate it. I love the model, but since it is a model evoking strong emotions on both side of the +/- spectrum, I'm a bit afraid to take the plunge on one...Orange. It's a strong color no doubt. I've always liked the color orange, as do I like the color yellow. The brighter the better! Like on the FC Diver. Having a splash of color in you live is usually a good thing. Is the Volcano a slow seller? I'm getting a hint it may just be. And down the line if I regret it, it could be another expensive lesson! I guess some of my worries are ultimately down to, will I keep it.... Probably not forever, but I'm a bit afraid it may be a too in your face as something of a daily watch. I try and give equal wrist time to my watches, and right now I feel I'm at that point. No longer like when I still had the AP ROC in white gold that I sometimes didn't wear for months! Silly to keep a 25K (u

Hornback Leather Strap For 44mm Offshore
Guys,Do AP offer a Hornback strap for the 44 offshore? I really want to buy a black one.My Authorised dealer said there wasn't, but that didn't make sense to me as it is available for other offshores.Thanks

Is this dial authentic?
Hi. This dial (photo 1) is being offered on a 18238 on 1stdibs. The price is too high, but I like the dial. I've never seen a 10 baguette dial by Rolex, but this is supposedly rare and from 1993.The closest I've been able to find anything like it is this fugly thing from this replica site. Is the 1stdibs listing peddling a faux? There are no lume dots, so I'm thinking the lume hands are probably a mismatch, but that could be an incorrect assumption.
