Thoughts on this Hublot instead of an AP?

[andyvn579]

I know its an old thread, but could you please comment on the titanium bezel vs scratches issue? Im planning to buy one. Thanks all

[PJ S]

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.

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?

To top that, I love even more than the AP how this shares a similar (slightly different and nicer look IMO), much lighter, and a leather strap which I ideally prefer.

I'm really keen on buying this, however just sort of held back by the hate on Hublot.
I don't believe Hublot is a "fashion brand" like some claim. It definitely is a high end brand, but just not one that has been around for too long.

Thoughts?

Hublot's metallurgy and alloy departments are extremely respected for the innovative materials they come up with. However I am of the opinion that you should save up/hold out for models that you really like. Watches aren't perishable goods, they won't disappear overnight so don't let the fear of missing out drive your buys.

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 think Biver would have laughed at that.

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?

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

[watchtabs]

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

[Nephro]

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

[wisguy]

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

Sapphire, albeit not the BB version you referred to.

[daveo5]

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