Putin’s watch in Oliver Stone’s The Putin Interviews
Somehow Oliver Stone was granted access for multiple, filmed interviews with Russian President Vladimir Putin over the last two years. You may remember Stone as the director of such films as Platoon, JFK, Wall Street, and Natural Born Killers; all fine watch movies. The result was a 4-part series for Showtime called The Putin Interviews. A few times the former KGB agent waved his hand and we’d get a glimpse of what the President of Russia wears on his wrist. Finally, in part 4, we got a nice view of the IWC he was wearing.[envira-gallery id=”375″] It’s an IWC 3265 Pilot Mark XVII. Off the shelf $4,000 watch. It’s a…

Yes/No: Tag Heuer UAE Autavia
This edition of Yes/No features the new Tag Heuer UAE exclusive LE Autavia. 150 total pieces. The case is larger than the original, 42 vs 39mm (NO!) The camel strap , YES, is possibly the coolest part of this edition. I love it. Other favorite parts include the old Heuer logo and Beige Opaline dial. The big miss here is the Heuer O2 movement monicker at 6 o’clock. It’s like catching someone where Jordans in the background of a scene in Gladiator. Just takes you out of it. This is Jack Heuer (right) and TheguywhoauctioniedoffthePaulNewmanPaulnewmanDaytonainOctober

DJ Khaled gave his son a Crazy Diamond Watch for 1st Birthday
What has 11-carats and is worth $100K that a 1 year old owns? DJ Khaled, of music production and Snapchat fame, gave his sone this insane Franck Muller watch for his birthday. Why is this important? It’s not. But maybe the publicity will bring Franck Muller more customers. They were huge a decade ago, but not so much anymore. With reference to the hip-hop music scene, younger artists are going for AP and Patek designs. You hear them mention Audemars by name in a few tracks that have come out in the last year. Khaled himself is often seen wearing Patek Phillipe diamond encrusted Nautilus references. Source: DJ Khaled…

My Paul Newman Paul Newman Daytona prediction
Prophecy of this watches’s future I really do want it to do well. I want the Nell Newman charity to get maximum proceeds from the sale. I want Phillips Auctions and Aurel Bacs/Paul Boutros to make serious bank on this, too. But The hype around this watch will subside. The hype around all Paul Newman Daytonas will eventually die down and they’ll be “reasonably priced” and “attainable” as far as high-end vintage watches are concerned. There are a lot of them. I know they’ve been the watch for literally 30 years, but something will rise up and knock it off the iron throne. Any guesses on what that something is? Also,…
