Rolex Explorer Black Dial Domed Bezel Oyster Bracelet Mens Watch 214270BKASO. This is probably the only Rolex I would purchase, no bling, just class. The 39mm case is just right for my 7-1/2" wrist, and the new bracelet they have on this model is a 200% improvement of previous Rolex models, where the bracelet was the missing link (no pun intended) in quality. This is definitely a "Lifetime" watch, and well worth the investment. The original version of this model was worn by Sir Edmound Hillary when he climbed Mt. Everest. This was Ian Fleming's watch, the watch James Bond wore in his books. T...

Case Made of 904L steel. The lugs, which are brushed at the top but whose sides are polished, blend very nicely with the bracelet in a smooth taper.

Love or hate Hublot, the brand is undeniably irrepressible, often outrageous, and many times incredibly clever, innovative and creative with the watches they produce and the way in which they market themselves. It’s hard to think of a watch brand that has made a bigger splash around the world in recent years, and the watches just keep coming. Here is a Hublot Ferrari Big Bang on Geneva Fair 2013  We featured this watch on Watchuseek last year. It’s been highly successful, both commercially, with the two first Big Bangs in titanium and Magic Gold - the famous first ever scratch-resistant 18-carat gold invented by Hublot - and promotionally, with more than 130 events. This success is welcomed by Jean-Claude Biver, Chairman of Hublot, and Ricardo Guadalupe, the CEO of Hublot, and has created ideas for new models. There are three which are already part of the Big Bang 45 mm family: The first is the Big Bang Ferrari "Red Magic Carbon": It is the new symbo...
