My new benchmark for "Guy who has too much money" is the one who buys a diamond encrusted vibrator.

It's called the Liberty Bullet, it's a $80-500k pocket watch.

Don't think I can pull off pulling a dildo out of my pocket to check time.

[rage2]

It's supposed to be worn as a pendant. But ya, pretty ridiculous haha.

The history of the piece (along with key of time) was something that was created by BNB. Totally useless, but cool mechanically. The key of time slows down or speeds up time, while the bullet is a tourbillon that flipped number plates to make it look like a digital readout.

Anyways, BNB went bankrupt, Hublot bought them out, and released them because it was 0 cost. Someone would buy 'em haha.

Some of those are pretty fugly.

Its like the creators of Transformers and Marvel Comics got designs job there.

I know wearing a Hublot for many is a status thing (so its meant to be seen), but I would get annoyed wearing one if my shirt cuff can't even go over it.

I had to get shirts custom tailored so the cuff can cover the bigger Hublots. :rofl:

That is one way around it I guess.

So do the real ballers get one cuff larger than the other or are they both tailored to match?

[statick]

I've never been huge fan of Hublot, but some of their innovations are fairly cool. I wouldn't mind playing around with a Key of Time for a bit!

According to the guy at Harry Rosen, I'm not the first person to get that done. So ya, left is tailored larger than the right so I can hide the watch.

Most ppl have it sticking out, and IMO looks kinda silly in a suit.

Nice pshop, didn't see that at all. :rofl:

[D'z Nutz]

Haha I was wondering when someone would noticed haha I edited it in a couple hours ago :rofl: :poosie:
