Titanium does scratch, but as it oxidises, there is a slight “healing” that seems to occur, resulting in a reduced appearance — but it’s not an overnight process, you’re talking a good few weeks.
As the bezels are brushed, any light/minor scratches will be less noticeable anyway. |

I'd get a Seiko in the meantime and keep it forever. Then move up to the AP when it makes financial sense. But I am terribly bias against Hublot. I would never want to own one. Again all personal preference.

How old are you…? 10? If you’re going to post a meme, at least post one that’s funny, and not ‘king stupid! So you despise Hublot – wonderful! – one less brand to keep tabs on, and off your wish list. Any chance further posts will be commensurate with your age, not your shoe size? |

That said, if you believe that the watch is a keeper for you, than go for it. If you think that spending the money will slow you down from aquiring the AP piece you want later, its better to wait for the right deal. |

I wear a classic fusion chrono daily now & love it, I did catch mine on a brick wall in DC and it left a few good marks but they don't really bother me. I buy my stuff to wear & enjoy.

You seem like an awesome guy to drink a beer with! I never said I despise Hublot either. I also had this meme too but I honestly think the first one is funnier. Probably my age though, right? So do you own a Hublot? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Weirdly, Hublot seems to get much more brand recognition amongst the general public than AP.

I'd never buy a hublot. Regardless of what anyone who owns one says.

That’s the beauty of watches with all the different brands and styles etc. To each his/her own.

If you really want the AP, save the money until you can buy one.
If you buy the Hublot you will probably one day want to sell it to get what you wanted in teh first place, and resale value of a Hublot is not great.

I’m not generally a fan of hublots ( and did get a bit grumpy when a someone saw my ROO 44CE and said it was a nice Hublot!)
That having been said, i really liked the Unico Sapphire when I saw it - it’s a lovely piece |

Sorry Hublot, but I just can’t see you. Overpriced, depreciation, trying to look like AP, no way, IMHO.
