Hublot Watch & Auction For Boxing Legends
I was with Hublot in Las Vegas for a very atypical watch event. A merging of two extremely different worlds coming together for fun, publicity, and the pursuit of mutual goals. The rowdy and often dramatic world of professional boxing has little in common with the clean lines and sober attitudes you'll find in the luxury world. The heroes of watch making are executives, designers, creative minds, and marketers. They celebrate men and women of greatness from afar, and from a public perspective the luxury and watch business has a clean and stately face.Boxing is about fighting and the clashing of personalities to evoke excitement over the next big event. It is a hard and fast life for the stars, who often fade once the glory has worn off. Only a handful move on to make something of themselves in alternative businesses once they retire from boxing. Like the champions of many sports, life after competition is usually not very interesting. Especially those who haven't handled their finances

My GMT2 is damaged, and
My GMT2 (mine since new) is circa 1984 or so. I would like to learn more about my Rolex.It was Rolex Canada serviced 5 years ago. I recently noticed that through some unusual event, the large minute hand appears to have some damage on it's trailing edge which could have happened during a shock episode causing a collision between hands. This watch recently retired with me, but did work hard sometimes during the past 15 years.I am about to have it serviced again, and wonder whether it is possible, or practical, or advisable to update the face and hands to current model specs.The model number as reported by Rolex Canada on the Service guarantee document states 16713. Would the serial number be of assistance in learning more about this watch?Referrals to threads, posts or websites with useful information about the GMT 2 would be welcomed.Your comments and/or advice will be valued.Regards..

More Image Copyright Violations From Ariel Adams
You may recall that a couple of months ago, I revealed that Ariel Adams had violated my copyrights by reproducing my photos on his for profit blog without my permission on his "A Blog To Read." I've now found evidence of further violations.Check out this entry on Adams' site: ablogtoread/bernhardt/ber...eadcom-reader/Two of the photographs in the entry on Adams' site are from my review of the Bernhardt Instruments Globemaster from back in 2006: rolexreferencepage/Gl...obemaster.htmlApparently, the article in question wasn't even written by Adams. The typical blogger like Adams are so eager to populate their blogs with anything that will generate keyword "hits" and bring in traffic, they often "borrow" content they themselves do not organically generate. In many cases (particularly with photos they borrow) they have no idea who owns the copyright, and they don't bother to check. So the entry in question is credited as being by "-Anonymous aBlogtoRead reader." So Adams could have

Incoming for Enzo
I posted a thread - 'End of Subtlety.' I was looking for a new watch under $3000. There are some amazing pieces for that price. Really, many of these watches look like they go for TEN times the price. I looked at military, divers, and dress watches - even some cool quartz art pieces.After looking around for quite a while, I began to think that I did not really need a diver. I have a nice Seiko diver and I also have a Gshock for actual snorkeling use. I have round dress watches like GP, Rado and Rolex. The more I thought about it, the more I have been impressed with the tank/rectangular/cushion dress watch. I wanted a watch that says 'class,' similar to the wonderful GP 1945 that has been posted here. I've always loved the Reverso, but I don't see any for under $6000 - maybe someday.Then I saw a watch and a company that really talks to me - Perrelet. I just like every single thing they are doing. I feel like I am on the design team. Plus, you have the great history of Perrel
