In love with my Hublot

Last week got my first Hublot! Got this beautiful Hublot Big Bang SS with SS bracelet and I must say is stunning!

Love the craftsmanship and attention to detail! Can’t wait to move on to the next one!

Not to my taste but congrats on the pickup. Enjoy it.

Definitely a lot of options out there in the Hublot line up so you should have a lot of fun thinking about #2.

Thanks! I know that Hublot is not a brand that many people like but still is pretty iconic. I think that I may sell this one soon and get either a aero fusion or an AP haha

Congrats! I am an AP guy, and hope you go there too, but I do have a soft spot for some of the BBs, I think they look pretty good, at least externally.

That’s just less than a calendar month from your original post where you said you loved it! Your significant other (wife/husband) must be living on a knife edge!

What pushed you so quickly from the Hublot? Did you spot too many people with one after you got one or did you just spot an AP on someone and felt FOMO? (fear of missing out)

Im a person that always likes to change and not stick with just one thing. I have a list of watches that I want to wear:

- panerai (already wore a 213)
- Hublot (the current one)
- AP

So this is just one step on the list

Also I don’t believe there are many with this model. Most of the stainless steel hublots come with the rubber band instead of the bracelet since is “cheaper”
