No it’s the rubber strap that AP make for this model (44mm).

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”

In love with my Hublot

Talk about fast love! I can relate though. Went through 2 Hublots - aerofusion skeleton and unico black magic - and end up with AP FC 44mm, all in 10 months. Those Hublot didnt have a lot of wrist time either. They both look beautiful, but for some reason they just dont click. With AP i feel it has more “mature” design despite of design similarities to Hublot. I think its just personal preference... like black, blond or brunette? You’d still want to date ‘em all LOL

Now for your viewing pleasure heres the “exes”





And the current one

Bro! That AP with the forged carbon case is insane! And you are correct I have mad love for Hublot, but AP is on another level IMO.

Im just looking for a new home that will appreciate it the way I appreciate this brands! Haha

The ultimate goal is to have a collection of different hublots and APs
