Pre-Baselworld 2014: Introducing The Hublot Big Bang Unico Bi-Retrograde Chrono, The Official Watch Of The 2014 World Cup
In the 1970s there were special chronographs called "Soccer Timers" with markings on the registers for counting the 45 minute halves of a match. Hublot has taken things much further here with the Big Bang Unico Bi-Retrograde Chrono, building a mechanism from the ground up that is optimized for this function. The two retrograde hands clock the seconds and minutes on a specially designed scale and a window at the center of the dial shows which half is being timed. The main timekeeping is separated in a smaller dial at 6 o'clock, so you can wear the watch off the pitch.??The foundation of the?Big Bang Unico Bi-Retrograde Chrono is the new in-house movement. The caliber HUB1260 was built using the same dual-coupling column-wheel technology as the UNICO caliber, but with the marked difference of having two center-mounted retrograde hands for the chronograph mechanism. This 385-part movement is the first bi-retrograde caliber from Hublot and is patent-pending. 2 OF 3 You're pro

Hamilton Khaki Frogman Review
I have been in love with this watch ever since i purchased it eight months ago. Like many of us our collections are diverse and vast. I broke this one out a couple of weeks ago and it has not left my wrist. I have always like Hamilton watches, was sad when they were bought out, but immediately was enthuastic when I glimpsed out their new collection.To be honest the Khaki frogman was love at first sight, and I knew onehad to be in my collection. Normally, I do not purchase titanium watchesbecause i like the weight of stainless steel, and was very skeptical.First Impressions: OMG the watch is of exceptional build and is heavy. Amonster on the wrist that demands attention. Dial a little bit busy but hasgraduated from a mere appetizer to a five star delicacy. Postive:

A little AP fun this weekend
I couldn¡¯t resist and had to go back and try on the RO again. I am in love with this watch. While I was there I tried on a Panda to see how the larger size would look. It definitely sits very high on the wrist but the size didnt really bother me. I kinda liked the larger size for the sport watch. Its probably my second favorite AP over the RO. I need to stop looking at the RO because its driving me crazy.

Selling several watches for a Patek
Hi everyone,I know it's another Selling for a Patek thread, but just wanted to get some thoughts...I currently have a small collection of 4 watches (which I've managed to bring down from a previously higher number of 8)...2 of these are Rolexes and one is an AP RO. I am seriously considering selling two watches, namely a Rolex and the AP RO for a Nautilus 5711, but then that would cut down the collection to three. I would like to know if there are any forum members who have experienced cutting down in order to accommodate a Patek. I am quite decided for now and am actually thinking that maybe a smaller collection would put me at peace but then again that might just be me wanting to convince myself to get the Nautilus!!!Any thoughts would be appreciated....thanks
