Hublot Big Bang Gold for the Holidays
This holiday season, Hublot suggests the Big Bang Gold. The 5N red gold case measures 44.5mm in diameter and features a bezel wearing a vertical satin finish with 6 titanium H-shaped countersunk, polished screws. The anti-reflective sapphire crystal covers a matte black dial with red gold indexes that match the color of the case. The crown and push-pieces are similarly 5N red gold, with rubber inserts. The sapphire crystal display back reveals a Hublot caliber HUB 4100 mechanical automatic winding chronograph movement consisting of 252 components including 27 jewels. The bridges are micro-blasted, beveled and polished. The rotor is tungsten carbide with a black PVD-treated dimpled surface. The power reserve is 42 hours. The strap is lined natural black rubber, and the clasp is a 5N red gold with black PVD deployant.You may click the image to view a larger version.

Question re buying w/o b&p on specific models..
So I have a question regarding buying certain models without box and paper. Specifically, the Kermit and 16710 Pepsi. As we know, both can be easily faked. A 16610 with a real or aftermarket green bezel is easy to do as is a 16710 Coke or LN with a Pepsi bezel. Other than having Rolex look up the serial during a service or something to that effect, how else would you know that it's a legitimate born as Kermit or Pepsi?I see several no B&P Kermits and Pepsi for sale here. I've also see a Pepsi for sale where it actually had the papers and it was marked R16710N30 (which means it's a all black GMT) and the seller was selling it as a Pepsi. When quizzed, they feigned ignorance and said that's how they bought it and didn't question it.I mean what's stopping someone from buying a correct era, run-of-the-mill no b&p 16610 for $5-6K, buying a Kermit bezel and then selling for $10K? When/if the buyer finds out, just say oh that's I got it, I didn't ask questions.?I know with the Kermit

Will Rolex discontinue the BLNR now we have the BLRO?
I¡¯ve always really liked the BLNR but now they¡¯ve finally released the SS BLRO do they really need both?I can¡¯t help thinking they¡¯ll bring out an oyster bracelet BLRO next year and drop the BLNR?On a related note, what do you guys think will happen to the value and demand for the BLNR now? I can¡¯t see it losing its appeal, I can¡¯t help but love the blue and black combo even if it isn¡¯t traditional!

114060 How Thin Does it Wear?
This question is for all you thin watch fanatics like me...How thin does the 114060 wear in YOUR experience?After owning an ETA Black Bay for well over a year I¡¯m ready to let it go for a Rolex. Naturally, the watch I¡¯m drawn to most is the 114060. I¡¯ve tried it on a bunch of times and am seriously considering it. Do any of you feel that it¡¯s too tall? I love my Black Bay but my main complaint is that it¡¯s all midcase.Bonus question... to those of you who¡¯ve owned 5 & 6 digit sub nds. Can you tell a difference on case height?Thank you!
