G-Ram Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I went away last year with a group of lads and one of the mentalists that was there and clearly had more money than sense (friend of friend of friend) had a hublot, king power special one watch. Reckoned there was only 100 or so made and said he'd paid £34k for it. Didnt know how true it was but heres the link to the one he had. I think they had a few other versions of it out in different colours or without the 'king' part in the title http://www.thewatchgallery.com/shop/hublot-king-power-the-special-one-automatic-mens-watch-701-oq-0138-gr-spo14.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&network=google&utm_campaign=[Mobile]_-_[DSA]_-_[Test]&adgroup=DSA_TEST&matchtype=b&utm_term=_cat%3Awatches&utm_content=dsa-40590162676&gclid=CKq90brS98sCFQtAGwodyeUDIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's lame. Muhammad Ali, Michael Schumacher and Miles Davis, now they are legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go for vintage JLC find a one which has some known service history. With a serviced JLC are golden. So what do you reckon? No original documents or box but still a lovely item. http://www.foweyriver.com/jaeger-lecoultre-ladies-vintage-watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry about documents and original box in this case. It has been restored by a respected professional and it has a guarantee so everything should be in order. The fact that the glass has been changed from original and probably the original doesn't come with it might matter some at least for some professionals. For me though this watch seems a great buy if the price is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helped that I've bought from him before and have met him in person. Had to use a bit of subterfuge to get it delivered to a mate's house so the missus doesn't know I've got it for her yet.

Fabulous. Did it arrive running, I used to pull the winder out and put a brace on it so it wouldn't move in transit, lovely looking watch, Jaeger are special watches.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the winder was pulled out. The movement of the winder is very slight,and I realised I was moving the hands. So I set the time and snapped it in - minimal movement - but the winder apperaed to be fully wound. Anyway, the watch ran and kept time. I need to see what time it stops to ascertain how fully wound it was. To be honest, the time is almost, almost, of secondary consideration. It is such a beautiful, delicate piece of jewelry.
