Thinking about buying this Hublot Flyback, what do you think?

It's pretty nice. Would be nicer if the arabics were smaller though.

Hublot does nothing for me, but if that's what you like, go for it!

I was the same way until I put it on my wrist. I like it. Not more than my rolex but I like it:) It feels like a good change of pace.

If you like it, go for it. I don't get the Hublot appeal myself.

The price point, the design, and the standard ETA movement are 3 factors that intersect in such a way so as to make me not much of a fan of Hublot.

I felt the same way. Until I held it and put it on. Its very comfortable to wear, and in my line of work, the less "flash" and "bling" the better.

me llikes and it looks good on you..I have heard the opinion about hublot completely changes when one sees them in real life..though I cant verify, but I like them already...and your example is from the old and rather 'classic' days of Hublot

Don't do it, IMO. Get a JLC Master Diver Navy Seal instead -- a more interesting in-house movement invented in 2009 for probably much less in price.
The JLC Navy Seal has everything I see on that watch plus a GMT complication, and it's all in-house. For roughly half the price. The JLC Master Diver puts the date at the same spot, moves the chronos around better, and still has everything that watch does. Plus... in-house with JLC's Calibre 757 invented in 2009. Your regular 7754 Valjoux movement has more Oooomph than that watch, IMO. My 2cents. And if you're hell-bent on spending a bunch of money go with the same JLC Diver in Rose Gold. |
