5164 has to go. Big trade alert!

Some of you may know I can’t help myself when it comes to flipping. I’m sad to say it’s time for my 5164 to go. I can count the number of times on one hand that I’ve worn it and I will also be selling off most of my other watches to obtain a grail piece. What is this grail you ask?

What if I told you I had found the perfect casual watch? I love jeans. Who doesn’t love jeans? Possibly the only things better than jeans are diamonds and rose gold!

Boom! I predict after sharing some quality snaps many will follow suit with me and flip for this casual masterpiece.



Should be arriving momentarily via FedEx!

your wrist is too skinny after meeting the fitness goal. You can no longer pull that off

No way you're going to get that denim beauty without throwing some cash on top.

Yes very limited indeed. Please guys, no more PMs about where I sourced this. It’s not about the rarity, it’s about enjoying fine watches

Just imagine the patina on that dial in 20 years = awesome

Personal enjoyment aside what that really matters is that it will skyrocket in value by being an LE

magic denim. It retains the properties of demin but it scratch and wear resistant. They used their PM R&D department for this project.

The blue looks a little purplish depending on the lighting , but I heard it’s impossible to get the perfect denim blue color, that they discard 100 watches for every one they sell.

Tom if this piece was really in your hand, I think we have a right to cut it off LOL! I am proud to say I never held a Hublot and gladly walk right by the Boutique whenever I see one.

Do you guys think I can wear this with a tux? Only having one amazing watch may prove challenging.
