Anyone have any experience?

Looking at the RG/Ceramic model.

Any thoughts?

 

Its a great looking watch and I cannot disagree that it doesnt look tempting by itself just to have one in my collection, however the movements and brand history isnt on par to other watch makers for the price or looks.

Since its a casual watch for the same price you can get:

A Royal oak offshore with black strap in silver, Audemars piguet is a better brand than Hublot infact its in the top of the watch makers list with th Patek Phillipe and Vacheron Constantin.

If you've got other uber time pieces and want the Hublot for its look without caring about its history then go for it, I personally like the PVD grey version which costs little under 20k.

 

I'm looking for a RG piece, but can't spend 30k on a ROO RG.

Suggestions?

 

Second what Mohammed said. Stunning piece but I can't get over the fact that it's a glorified and gold-plated fashion piece. An AP ROO is better from a strictly watch point of view but not necessarily better looking . . .

 

Kyle what's your budget?

 

I love the ROO's, but since I'm in fancy smancy clothes all day, I think a RG watch will look nice.

Hublot i'm guessing is much better everything than (puts flamesuit on) JACOB & Co. > CATALOG > Tourbillon (Limited Edition)

Right?

 

$15k? ish

This is my first "nice" watch. This is what these forums will do to you. haha

 

How about a Gold/Steel GMT 2 rolex with blue dials ?

 

Jacob? Good thing you have your flame suit on . . . because it's gonna get hot.



Honestly though, if you dig the Hublot and don't care much about heritage - go for it. They are beautiful.

 

I wouldn't touch Jacob with a 10metere pole, really thats an extremely flamboyant watch with a cheap movement.
