Now the watch.... (still a big box in a huge box)

With spare white leather strap.

Navy blue is made of glassfiber

Very cool color.

So nice a watch and the autographed uniform is a huge bonus.

Thanks, HUBLOT Japan!

Key Points from the Discussion

The design of the Hublot Aero Bang MT88, particularly its color combination, is highly praised, with suggestions for pairing it with a dark blue gummy croc strap.
The special uniform included in the packaging is appreciated as a thoughtful extra, suitable for display.
A concern is raised regarding the marketability of a watch associated with a sportsman who has spent significant time on the injured list, potentially impacting its sales despite the watch's aesthetic appeal.
The Hublot Aero Bang case in 44mm is a preferred size for some collectors, and there is hope for more future editions in this style.
The watch is a very limited edition, and all units were sold out within months of its debut, making it difficult to acquire post-launch.

As a NYY fan, I dig this concept, especially the pinstriped strap! [nt]

That is a very distinctive watch and strap but its a pity

...that the player is like an eagle with broken wing. Mr Tanaka has been on the Injured List about as much as the Playing List. Should have had the surgery last year. It's more difficult to sell a watch based on a sportsman who does not play. Nice watch, though. So maybe it'll sell anyway. Regards, MTF

Aero Bang

Ken, I am glad to see Hublot creating a new edition in an Aero Bang case. Hope to see more in the 44mm style.

Very Very Very Cool!

I am glad they did not put anything on the dial as I think it is just perfect! One for you Ken? The colour combo really is great, I can also see it on a lovely dark blue gummy croc. I dig the shirt too... cool concept and extra thought that goes into these things. Would look great framed on the wall of an office or snug. Cheers Andrew
