Looks good but pretty big

Dec 25, 2014,07:59 AM
 

I'm more of an AP guy, but do think that some of the designs and material combinations Hublot has come up with are interesting.  I believe the movement in these are El Primeros so that is a nice plus.  The only problem with the modern Hublots for me is that they are huge.  This one looks very big as well.  I would find this very tempting at about 75% of the size.  Squared or tonneau cases to me wear much larger than their mm size would indicate.

Hublot Spirit of Big Bang

You may all have heard about this, but this was the first time to meet in person for such a long time. Interesting derivative of the Big Bang series. Could be a fun weekend watch. I wonder what Hublot fans think about this. I am not asking non-Hublot fans...  

Surprisingly interesting

Ken, I'm not the target of your post as I'm not a fan of Hublot. I like some of the Classic line but find the Big Bang series mostly...let's just say I have difficulty finding nice things to say about the watches or their marketing and leave it at that. *...

... most of the time, I like the smaller watches myself. But sometimes, big watches tempt me as a weekend/ off time watches. You just should try to see how it really looks when worn on your wrist :-) Thanks for your post! Ken

I like the details of the last shot

As I don\'t have a strong reference point I find the watch nice and masculine. My issue with a lot of skeleton type dial is being able to read the time. What is your feeling seeing it in person. The one that helps this one is the strong white index marker... 

Came close to buying this

I can close to buying this. The Tonneau shape is brilliant and while all my watches are round, this one certainly did look very sporty and very nice on my wrist. Got a great deal too (Retail $20,000 - Grey Market $14,800) I guess the super strong dollar h... 

You did good.

Why buy a Richard Mille rip off? And I understand your feelings. Why pay big $$ for a soccer watch? Or a gangsta rapper watch? Or even better....a Bruce Lee watch? Don\'t get me wrong; to each his own! From a marketing and commercial point of view Hublot ...

Dear Ken, I do respect this forum and have thanked the founder and mods and all contributors (without them you have nothing) in the past because I really enjoy my time here and the interaction with fellow PuristS. If you really stalk me you should know th...

Let's not exaggerate here. PuristSPro allows far more leeway and "chances" than any other website. Most sites operate on a "1 strike and we're done screwing with this guy" policy, so everyone who posts on PuristSPro should appreciate we are not out to ban...

I don't quite dig this model.

The original BB's case is 'sexy' while the KP's case is one step further. I adore those 2. Even the new BB unico's case IMHO is not as 'sexy' :p though the easily changeable strap system is topnotch even VC copied it for the latest Overseas. So, the verdi...
