Kobe Bryant Joins Hublot’s Roster of All-Star Athletes
Hublot continues its domination of the sports world with the signing of all-star Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant as its newest “brand ambassador.” Like other high-profile athletes in Hublot’s stable, including fellow NBA star Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat, Olympic runner Usain Bolt, and soccer star Diego Maradona, Bryant will lend his name to a limited-edition Hublot timepiece.The partnership was announced this week at a VIP event on the rooftop of the London Hotel West Hollywood, hosted by Hublot CEO Ricardo Guadalupe, and attended by an array of celebrities including late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, actors Zac Efron and Garcelle Beauvais, and star stylist Brad Goreski. The watch, called the King Power Black Mamba in honor of Bryant’s NBA nickname, made its debut at the event, presented to Bryant by Guadalupe, along with a Jeroboam of rare Dom Perignon vintage 1988 Champagne. Hublot has said it will donate a portion of the proceeds from sales of the watch to

gqmagic - did you get an Aquanaut 5167?
I saw a picture you posted on another thread - if so, huge congratulations!This has been a "grail watch" of sorts for me for some time now. I was wondering how you are finding the watch?Are there any issues with the 315 S C manufacture movement - specifically the rotor? i.e. is the rotor able to keep the watch fully wound during "normal activities"?How do you find the new dial?Is it different colours in different lighting conditions?I absolutely loved the old dial, and am curious about the new one.This is the now discontinued 5065 I first fell in love with:All the best,Harry

Question on Large American Watches (vintage)
Hey all,I'm on a vintage watch kick lately but have found that most (all?) of the American vintage watches I find are tiny. They're beautiful...but tiny.I'm a big guy - 6'4", 270lbs. Tiny watches just don't cut it for me. I'm wondering if there are some vintage watches that you have run across that run large? And by large I would say No Smaller than 38mm and preferably 40mm or more.The styling on some of these American vintage watches is downright amazing. I'd be a very happy man if I found one that was both amazingly beautiful and large enough for me to wear.Any guidance would be enabling a fairly new watch fanatic to further his collection!Thx,Chad

Fresh Screen Grab - What is Dirk Nowitzki wearing?
It looks to be 45mm+ and has three pushers, but I don't see the subdials. Any guesses? Oh, and he's German which may be helpful.

question for ROC owners
I recently picked up a 26300 and the rotor makes a sort of ticking sound when it settles. It's not the ball bearings which make that familiar grinding noise, its when I flick my wrist, hear the rotor spin, then when it settles there is some sort of ticking sound. I can also hear it when if gently rock the watch and not use enough energy to make the rotor spin. - if that makes sense.Anyone experience this? Thanks
