You have to wonder if LeBron James or Chris Bosh are next in line to get their own custom watch like the Hublot Dwayne Wade King Power watch. The leader of the Miami Heat's Big 3 recently took a trip to Beijing where he spread some good cheer through basketball and received an awesome one-of-a-kind watch from Hublot.
The Hublot Dwayne Wade King Power watch has a black, white and red color scheme matching the color of the Miami Heat. The Wade tributes don't stop there though, as the number "3" on the watch's face is blown up in tribute to Wade's jersey number. No word on pricing or availability, but this piece is limited to a production run of 500 so it will probably cost you a pretty penny or two to purchase.
