Hublot King Power F1 Interlagos - Limited Edition /D.S.R. NEW

B-Day present just in - Armida A8
Got it in yesterday from Hong Kong. It only took 72 hours 3 business days to receive by FedEx as the company promised. I did order a nice band from Panatime, the watch did come with a rubber and a NATO band. The watch also came with two bezels a typical style and a solid brass one. I used the solid brass bezel and blued the numbers and markings. I also aged the watch just a little bit to bring down the extremely shiny brass. I wanted the aging to look natural and not like some aged watches I have seen out there that look like a science project that has gone bad.This is the way the watch is delivered from the factory.

I'll be listing some watches in the Sales forum
This coral Ross is first up. Beautiful dial and new crystal. Would look nice on the wrist of our lady collectors, too.

Oiling non-jewel Bullseye
I have a 1960 Bull's Eye pocket watch. Its been sitting in a drawer for many years and probably could use a cleaning and oiling. The pocket watch has no jewels that I can see. The watch runs great. What would be a good oil to use on a watch that has no jewels? Would a synthetic with Teflon work? I read that slick 50 synthetic has Teflon and works well as a spring lube. The theory being the Teflon would act as bearings since no jewels are present.bullseyeback.jpgbullseyefront.jpg?

Vintage Watch Bands are Cool...Really!
Here at WTF we all dig watches, and lots of us are into the oldies.But back in the 1930s-1960s in addition to making some great watches, the USA was the king of watchband production.There were many different brands and lots of designs. Watch companies paid close attention to the style and pattern of bands that were fitted as "original equipment" to their watches.When a watch was purchased new, the metal band was often an upgrade, so some folks went with a strap to save a few bucks.Eventually the strap wore out and had to be replaced, and I'll bet that more than a few people realized they might have been better off with the metal band from the start.The good bands weren't inexpensive. In 1950 a gallon of gasoline was 18 cents, car was ~$1500, the average yearly income was ~$3200, a new house was ~$8500, and a quality expansion could cost up to $15 or more.These top-shelf expanding-bracelets are amazing examples of mid-century manufacturing, made of precision stampings of stainless steel

42 vs 45.5 PO
I am really going around with what option I like better between the 42mm case and the 45.5mm case Planet ocean. Are there any differences in the lines, look, etc other than the size difference?
