Only on our favorite site we cannot mention by name will you find this comment accompanying one of the most gaudy, over the-top watches yet – “Hints of the jungle are the latest in on-trend elegance, using the snakeskin print in subtle little touches as on the Boa Bang 41 mm…” (Emphasis mine)

To be fair I think that's Hublot PR speak.

Fair enough. Though on some watch sites if I replied, "Subtle? Seriously?" my comment would disapper...like magic!

Fortunately on BS I can say, "That is one of the fugliest POS watches ever created and anyone who buys one should be banished to a remote island...with no natural source of water."

New Cartier annual calendar - I'm liking the way that they have implemented the day / month on this, but that crown still puts me off - http://blog.perpetuelle.com/sihh/sihh-2 ... -calendar/

I haven't read any threads yet but the Roger Dubois and JLC pieces look truly amazing!

I don't like the Richard Mille. I don't mind the Gruebel piece and I don't think there's an A. Lange and Sohn piece that I don't like. I'm looking forward to looking at the write-ups in more detail tonight. Thanks for posting Roff.

I love everything about it except that it's 46mm, that's a deal breaker for me. I'm so bummed that they didn't also offer it in a 44mm case because this checks all the boxes for me on a pilot watch which is the only thing I'm looking for in 2012.



I have a 44mm pilot and I've only worn it for 1wk. I can't wear anything larger than 42mm.
At 46mm I must ask..."Does it come with a shoulder strap?"
It's a great looking watch...but too big for little old me. :(
