An unexpected incoming
Hi friends,
Apparently it's a baseball strap!
At 45mm, it's the largest watch that I've ever bought. But as a sports, casual and fun watch, size doesn't really bother me. This is a lesson learned from Robin.
To be honest, this 45mm watch fits my wrist quite well, thanks to Hublot's famously flexible and high quality rubber strap. And with the help of the super comfortable deployant clasp, the watch sits perfectly balanced.
I've been attracted by Hublot's skeletonized AeroFusion for some time, but there has not been a version (team, player, competition) that I really felt for, until this one. Hublot has been huge in football and big in basketball, but this is the first time that the brand collaborated with a baseball competition, which happened to be in my country. As a fan of both the AeroFusion and baseball, it will be a hard task to find a better Hublot watch for me!
A couple of days ago, my wife said she would like to try Chanel's Boyfriend series. I took her to the AD, and she was surprised to find that the watch exceeded her expectation, especially when put on her wrist. Needless to say, she took it, paid by me of course 
As she was trying the watch, I walked around the store, and something caught my attention all of a sudden.
A Hublot Classic Fusion Chrono Aero. LE of 100 pieces to celebrate the inaugurate "World Baseball Premier 12" competition, co-hosted by Taiwan and Japan in November 2015. To my surprise, wife immediately gave me the go ahead signal.
Happy wife, happy life. Is that what ancient wisdom has taught us?
A baseball for the small seconds dial.

Hublot has also presented one of this LE to Taiwan's Head coach, the MVPs of the two semifinals and the final.
I must confess that Mr. J.C. Biver's passionate, informative and fun talks were what initially brought my attention towards Hublot. I've listened to Mr. Biver talking about the idea of "becoming part of your customers' lifestyle", which makes perfect sense to me. This idea clearly explains why there are so many LEs from Hublot, which is totally justifiable to me.
One more thing. Is it still possible to receive a letter from Mr. Biver and get an extended warranty? Please let me know if any of you can help on this matter.

Luis my dear bro
I am so happy for you and your wife! Big congrats to the both of you!
The Chanel Boyfriend suits her very well and the Hublot too on you. Not big looking at all as it is meant to look sporty and chic.
Bravo my friend. Happy wife happy life indeed!
As for the extended warranty , I am not sure. Maybe Ken or Andrew can help on that
Cheers

Gorgeous catch Luis!
Very nice Hublot such a special edition...fits very well on your wrist and is really special. The Chanel looks great too 
Wear it in good health and congratulations !
Christian
Double congrats!!
On both the Chanel and of course the Hublot!!!
I actually don't think I have seen this model in the flesh, it certainly is a super cool look and that strap is fantastic. It really looks great on your wrist, not too big at all.
Did it come with a special box or something? I know some of the sporting editions come with shirts or other things?
I will PM you on the guarantee and see what we can do
Cheers!
Andrew
Thank you Andrew. I would love to receive your PM. :)
If I remember correctly, this LE is issued only for the Taiwanese and Japanese market. So it might not be easy for you to see one in the flesh.

Oh, I forgot to post photoa of the box.
It's not really that different from the box of the regular AeroFusion models. But the colorful printing is still very nice.
Big congrats!
Nice looking watch and the colors are very different from the usual, really making it stand out. The colorful logo on the back is very eye catching too, and while I know nothing about baseball, I can understand your appreciation for this one.
Enjoy it - after getting used to it, you might actually find the rest of your watches too small ;-)
Thank you, Richard. I hope I won't find my other watches too small. :-) [nt]

Good job and smart move, Luis...I have quite a few TW friends and I know this sports is
very popular there. Congratulations, very nice dial and rotor.
Happy wife, happy life...always right!

Raymond
Thank you, Raymond. Although basketball might be the most commonly played ball games in Taiwan,
people do take more proud in baseball and calling it our national sport.
Very, very cool :)
So glad that your journey continues - and what a piece The baseball elements definitely work well. If I recall correctly, Ken wrote about the watch some time ago (could be wrong, though).
Congratulations and hope you see some epic baseball games with it

Yes, the journey continues, although in an unexpected way. :)
Ken did post a thread on this model 6 month ago. Not many responses though. I guess baseball is not that popular among fellow Purists.
Such a great addition.......
.. since I first saw this, the strap pattern was soooo well conceived design and I loved it. I am so glad that you got one!
Ken
Thank you Ken. I think most baseball fans would be excited to see this one.
I do hope this watch can come with an associated accessory, like how the TANAKA MASAHIRO one comes with a signed shirt.
Cheers,
Luis
Congrats to you and your wife, bro! :)
Nice to see both of you had acquired your favourite watches together.
"Happy wife, happy life" indeed! 
I can see your passion in baseball and how this watch has brought you great excitement. Sometimes you just need to be decisive when it is love at first sight... No?
Congrats again and enjoy it in best of health!
Wayne
Thank you bro for the encouraging words.
Yes, sometimes we do need to be decisive.
Best,
Luis

Success is the right product at the right place and the right price for the right person
Looks like Hublot got it right !
I'm usually not enamoured by busy dials but in this case, it has a story with the baseball styled sub-seconds counter.
Goodo!

PS. You did a great move too with the wife. As they say in Japan: Good Job!
Yes. It is with all the "right conditions" you mentioned that I fell in love with this watch.
And, pleasing the wife is the prerequisite.
As they say in Japan: やった！

Congrats on your new piece! It's very special!
Hublot does have some cool and special pieces, the strap is also a very neat touch.
As far as I know, you have successfully convert your wife into a watch lover. :)
Happy wife could mean more watch incomings in the future. ^_^
