F1 President Bernie Ecclestone Mugged in London; Hublot Stolen From His Wrist
Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone suffered a black eye when he was attacked by four men outside his London office around 10:30 p.m. on November 25. His girlfriend was with him at the time. The robbers made off with jewelry – and Mr. Ecclestone’s Hublot – together valued at $314,000. Following the attack, Ecclestone sent a picture of his face along with a short note to Hublot CEO Jean-Claude Biver. The message said: See what people will do for a Hublot. Since the two have a great sense of humor, they agreed to make an advert based on the photo and message.This Hublot ad will be a strictly one-off shot, appearing in today's Financial Times and International Herald Tribune. The ad shows the unretouched “mugged shot”, along with Bernie Ecclestone’s original commentary. The ad also notes that Hublot does not condone this method of acquiring one of their watches.

SIHH 2015: Macros and Recording of Royal Oak Concept Acoustic Research
This watch is beyond amazing and its sound mesmerizing. This is a very loud minute repeater and its chime the glassiest we've heard. Check the macros and the video recording.

What was the last year that ap made a 36mm royal oak for men?
I am looking into getting a ap royal oak. I tried on a 39mm and because of the shape and size of my wrist the lugs overhung. I am not a fan of huge watches as the sub c is the biggest I can go without looking stupid.. I also have a 36mm date just that fits great so I am guessing the ap 36mm would fit great.mi was looking at a Reference number: 25594ST/O/0789ST/05 on the bay that is close to me so I might be able to go check it out in person.. It has the ap clasp but a lot of the 36mm do not have the ap clasp so I am guessing the one I am looking at is a late model right before they got discontinued. I am also thinking of a newer 15450 that is 38mm I believe but it only has one dial color. I would love a 37-38 mm chrono or dual time or moon phase.. I also read that these watches are a fortune to overhaul and if I get a older 36mm then I will prob have to send it in for a overhaul. Does anyone know about how much a moon phase 36mm is to do a full service.. So what I really need t

Does this look ok?
Been trying to figure out if this dial is just faded or if this 2599.80 is suspect.. Everything else to my knowledge seems ok (as far as authentic) but am no expert. The waves seems to have gone from the dial or at least have lost their prominence.. Was made in 1998 as far as I know..I realize there are tons of fakes of these things out there.. Have a chance to buy this one for around 1500..thanks

5726/1A vs 5496p-001
Hey guys, new to the forums - I currently own a 5726/1A (full steel w/ grey dial) and have been offered to swap it for a 5496p-001 + ��10k. I have a 5711/r & am thinking of adding a 5711 blue steel at premium. I'm not a big fan of the size of the 5726 and love the 5496p but have been told its a terrible trade. Would love to hear your thoughts!
