Watch Wallpaper: 5 Footballers And Their Hublot Watches
As part of its “Hublot Loves Football” campaign, the Hublot watch company ? enlisted Swiss photographer Fred Merz to snap portraits of soccer legends of today and yesteryear, with each one featuring both a Hublot watch and the brand’s World Cup symbol, a soccer ball painted and decorated by Brazilian artist Romero Britto.Merz traveled far and wide to produce the series, which features Hublot watch “ambassadors” and “friends of the brand” from the world of international soccer, aka football. For example, the acknowledged “King of Football,” Pel¨¦, was filmed in a fashionable Ipanema Hotel in Rio, while “The Special One,” current Chelsea coach Jos¨¦ Mourinho, was photographed in a shadowy basement during a visit to the Hublot watch manufacture in Nyon, Switzerland. In other shots, members of various teams were depicted on their home turf. We’ve collected five of these images as downloadable wallpaper for your desktop.C

I have purchased my last Rolex
So, after two Rolex watches for me, I found what I thought was a fairly good deal on a USED Rolex from a dealer in Malaysia. Everything was going well until FedEx asked me to make the package available to them because "customs hadn't cleared it properly". The package was at my office, unfortunately I'm out of town, and the admin allowed a FedEx driver to pick up the package (I know, aarrgh!!!).A couple of days later I received a call from a lawyer in New York who told me that they represented Rolex and that they (Rolex) only allowed ONE watch per customer traveling into the US for personal use.

How in the world do they get to control what enters US territory, particularly when it's a used watch???? I'm ****ed off that they would try to control my pu

All my movements are Japanese
I was just updating my watchbox as there have been some new acquisitions when I realized that ALL the movements in my collection are Japanese. It's not like I began 35 years ago and decided that it would only be Japanese. My first Seiko was a quartz and my only other quartz is a chonograph I use as my "beater" for swimming, mountain biking and activities that could damage the finish. Please view my collection. I've made some expensive purchases and some modest ones. Now here's the question.Why are the European watches and movements so expensive? I find nothing in my research to justify the cost. I wouldn't mind some diversity, but for $7200 I can buy a brand new HI-Beat 36,000 bph Grand Seiko, that's top of the line for the mechanical Seiko. Those same dollars won't buy me a european anything that will preform half as well. Is it a difference in manufacturing costs? I can find no significant benefit for the expense. Splain it to me lucy
