Hublot Watch & Auction For Boxing Legends
I was with Hublot in Las Vegas for a very atypical watch event. A merging of two extremely different worlds coming together for fun, publicity, and the pursuit of mutual goals. The rowdy and often dramatic world of professional boxing has little in common with the clean lines and sober attitudes you'll find in the luxury world. The heroes of watch making are executives, designers, creative minds, and marketers. They celebrate men and women of greatness from afar, and from a public perspective the luxury and watch business has a clean and stately face.Boxing is about fighting and the clashing of personalities to evoke excitement over the next big event. It is a hard and fast life for the stars, who often fade once the glory has worn off. Only a handful move on to make something of themselves in alternative businesses once they retire from boxing. Like the champions of many sports, life after competition is usually not very interesting. Especially those who haven't handled their finances

Why you should have a library.
We've said it here before - you need to have some reference material if you want to get serious in this hobby. Wanna see a perfect example why? Can anyone tell me if that dial is original or not? Well, it isn't.but it almost fooled me into making a $2800 mistake. It's a pretty watch, and a very nice caliber inside that was in correct order as were the hallmarks on the inside of the caseback. The Maltese Cross on the dial is the correct shape for the period. Even more important is the shape of the ampersand (&) - it is also correct for the period. That's two key components to pre-1974 Vacheron Constantin watch dials. With less than an hour left in the auction it was time to triple check myself so I went to all the stuff I had on the company including something I had saved from a dedicated VC collector website. Know what the tip off was? The lack of the accent mark over the second E in GEN¨¨VE. No redialer puts that on for some reason. Pretty stupid and seemingly nitpick

First Panerai
I am pleased to join the ranks of the Paneristi with this purchase of a classic, pre-owned Pam 111. Thanks once again to DavidSW for his great service. (Btw, the second pic is exposed to reflect the Catalina Mountains and blue Arizona sky.)

Who¡¯s thinking slimmer lugs?
This has been talked about, not sure if it’s been debated or rationalized...two different ways to think.....1. With recent Sub and GMT incomings, trickling in inventories, etc.... it seems there’s no change coming, in case or lug dimensions on the Sub or GMT. 2. On the other hand, there’s the recent developments or redesigns from bigger, to more refined, or “classic” proportions....ex: DJ 41, DD 40, SD4K, SD43, possible discontinuation of BLRO, etc....WHAT’S EVERYONE’S THOUGHTS ON WHAT WE’LL SEE, soon?I know...”only Rolex knows”, but just looking at some contradictory factors, as stated above, what is this fine collection of experts opinion? Just some Sunday thought provoking...
