Hublot Reaches Way, Way Back, Builds Antikythera Device For The Wrist
This week, Hublot revealed the movement that will power their much anticipated Antikythera watch, Caliber 2033-CH01. You're probably pretty familiar with Hublot, but this Antikythera device is another story that begins in the 1st Century with a ship wreck off the coast of Crete. What's an Antikythera device? That's a question no one has been able to answer accurately until the 21st century.?The Antikythera mechanism was first discovered in 1901, but remained largely misunderstood due to the technical limitations of those tasked with researching the find. It wasn't until relatively recently that scientists began to grasp the true complexity of the device. State of the art X-rays revealed a plethora of internal gear trains hidden within, along with Greek text on the outer case that is believed to be an instruction manual. Hublot likens the machine to a cosmograph, in that it describes the movement in the cosmos. However, the cycles that the ancient Greeks sought to measure are quite diff

Rolex at the tennis
G'day all, just got back from leave and want to share a great experience with you that my wife Tracey and I had as guests of Rolex at the Australian Tennis Open.I bought a LV Sub last year and was surprised when I got a phone call from the dealer in December inviting Trace and I to dinner at the tennis followed by the night session on day 1.The day finally came around and we drove to the AD, got on the mini bus with about 10 other lucky Rolex customers and set off for Rod Laver Arena.Straight to the Rolex Marquee for drinks, a lovely dinner and some great conversation. There were reps on each table from Rolex Aust and I enjoyed talking Rolex history etc etc. Absolute surperb hosts.We were all given a bag of goodies to take home. Each bag had a calender, 2 catalogs, shirt, cap and tennis balls! I was rapt as I like to collect Rolex nic-nacs. See pics below.We then walked over to the arena and sat in court-side seats - very front row- and watched 2 good tennis matches.We had a great ni

Sterile...
There's no question that replicas enjoy a well deserved insidious reputation here.What of watches with sterile dials?I've found a watch I like which bears a rather striking resemblance to a watch very well known, high end company. The watch is completely sterile; no markings anywhere.Just wondering. I'm hardly committed to buying it...

Cheap Watch...
The Panerai faithful will cringe, but I found something on eBay that made me say "Eh, why not?"It's a Marina Militare; obviously with a strong nod to the Panerai Luminor. Hell, if it said "Panerai" on it, it'd actually be a pretty good knock-off. As it is, though, I suppose it's more of an homage than anything else:I've no illusion as to what it is; a cheap Chinese watch. I love the styling of the Panerai, but the wife foolishly seems to think there are better things to spend money on. It seems to be pretty well made; my jeweler went through the movement and said it looked pretty sturdy, so I should have little concern there. I had to replace the band, as the fake-croc band it came with was just way to short, and it strangled my wrist.Anyway, I took some photos this morning, and thought I'd post 'em.Flame away!

Need help to identify its authenticity on Ebay
Hi guys I really need some help here, I am looking at this AP on ebay .ebay/itm/272367339875...%3AMEBIDX%3AITThe seller didn't explain why the winner didn't purchase the watch, I sent him an email and he offered me the watch. I can not really tell the difference from the picture provided on ebay.However he did email me 2 pictures today with closer shot and I felt the engravings on the back look a bit different from other watches that are exactly the same model. Details: He asks to paypal $10k due to limitation withdraw on his paypal account and bank wire him the rest. I called paypal and find out his email is not registered with paypal. He does have decent feedback and so far the stories he has given seems to match, he gave 2 ebay ID (1 has 300 feedbcak and 1 has 40 feedback) who he claim he sold the watch to but didn't go through ebay, I contacted them and both replied with decent feedback. I do want to give him the benefit of the doubt and I was hoping to get some help here. HE ALSO
