Hublot's Tactic With The Blackeyed Bernie Ecclestone Watch Ad
The first thing that came to mind when I first saw this image in an e-mail from Hublot was "wait, what?" I didn't get it. What was this? At first I thought the image of Bernie Ecclestone was some type of painting. I?am not familiar with his face, but I do know of his work as the guy who runs Formula 1 racing. The British Billionaire's face was distorted with a painful looking black eye and other facial bruises. The 80-year-old was recently violently mugged, and among other things, his Hublot King Power F1 watch was stolen.None of this information was placed in the above image send out by Hublot. In fact, it is entirely cryptic in its messaging. The point of it is simple I think. A beaten up elderly man along with the statement of "See what people will do for a Hublot."

The other factors – the development and production of in-house calibers, attractive teutonic aesthetics, and the use of novel materials in movement construction (like human hair and self-lubricating guaiacum wood) – makes us wonder whether the glut of good watches coming out of this region is a coincidence, or if there is truly something special in the water in Glashütte. Thinking Around The Corner 2 OF 17 Christine Hutter, Founder and CEO of Moritz Grossmann Everything has already been done. Sometimes you have to think around the corner to find a sol

Help resizing Omega GMT
So I just received my GMT and the bracelet is too big. I call the Omega Boutique closest to me and they said that they will not touch an Omega that was not purchased at an A.D. Is this normal? All I was wanting was some links taken out. Seems like a pretty crappy way to do buisness. So my question now is can someone point me in the right direction on how to do his my self? After doing some research, it seems that a 1.8mm screwdriver is the correct one. Is this true? Also, do I need to put Locktite on the screws before putting them back in the bracelet? Any help would be appreciated and thanks.
