I don't know much about this timepiece.

Just by looking at this photograph, and my understanding of what it is, I have the following comments:
- what is the durability of the case?
- don't like the screw heads all in different orientations
- overall I like the style

It looks like plastic. Knowing it's sapphire doesn't help that impression either. Pass.

Yeah I just don't like the look of sapphire for a case material. Might look cool in a photo but not on my wrist.

In person the Hublot is interesting to look at but yes it does give off a plastic look.

would be interested in seeing one in person, but weird how it looks like plastic, not even glass. Maybe would look better if sometime in the future they can add some tint to it, like the Milgauss GV.
