Hublot Big Bang Unico And Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon 5-day Power Reserve Indicator Full Magic Gold Watches
I'm a sucker for a new material. When I was a younger watchmaker and far wetter behind the ears, I stuck hard-and-fast to the principles of old, believing science to be cheating, witchcraft, magicWell, it turns out I was right. The Hublot Big Bang Unico Full Magic Gold and Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon 5-day Power reserve Indicator Full Magic Gold are the latest of the Nyon-based manufacturer's products to utilize this novel material that really has to be seen (and felt) to be believed.Full disclosure: There is no actual magic in this watch. If you buy one, do not expect it to grant you wishes, make your brooms dance, or inspire that girl/guy you've been ogling for the past few months to introduce themselves. What it might do, however, is give you a little more wrist-confidence when you finally decide to make the first move (nothing ventured, nothing gained). You may be enthralled by Magic Gold's dulled hue, or you might simply find it dull. Whatever your final opinion of its aesthetics,

Thoughts about OMEGA Seamaster Professional 200M (Pre-Bond)
Hey guys!Yesterday I was doing a little trip around local antique shops and after few hours of walking around them I saw one watch which really attracted me. That was Omega Seamaster Professional 200M Quartz Pre-bond model. Because of that I am asking you, guys, what do you think about this watch? Maybe someone has some beautiful photos of it? The price of it was 400 pounds (~650$). Should I buy it or should I not(You know, sometimes it's really hard to make a decision like that )? Waiting for advice,Mantas

Potentially dumb questions about the Datejust 41
Hey everyone, 1st off, I just recently joined this forum and I'm impressed with the caliber of decorum/courtesy/helpfulness here. Who am I? Basically a kid in his mid-40's who has been a long-time Submariner fanatic. My question is kinda odd so please bear with me... I never took a liking to the DJ until the new SS DJ 41 debuted at Basel last year. Since then it's been on my drool list; it seems my taste is evolving, either that or I'm just finally getting old (ha!). The thing holding me back is whether or not it's wearable with really casual outfits: T-shirt, jeans or shorts. I'm talking REALLY casual, I never - and I mean never dress up. I rarely wear collared shirts or polos. Any feedback would be appreciated. That damn blue dial haunts my dreams. If I may throw in a second question, jubillee vs oyster bracelet? Once again, I'm worried the jubilee might bee too dressy with super casual wear, but I could be wrong. I know all of this is subjective, but please indulge me, thanks.

Lost Submariner
Putting this out there so it's in the public sphere and hoping that one day my watch will be found / returned.I had a night of drinking in Durham NC end with me waking up without my submariner. Very odd as the watch only comes off when I shower or go to the gym. Needless to say, I've been devastated as I've only owned it for 4 months. I left my name and number at every bar I went to, filed a police report and contacted local pawn shops. Some day, maybe years from now someone will send it into rolex for servicing and I'll get it back. Not optimistic however.
