At your age I would ask for a Rolex sports model....Submariner/Daytona/GMT.

yannis · 26 April 2016, 11:24 PM

Welcome. I would go with Rolex.

droptopman · 26 April 2016, 11:28 PM

Rolex!!!

RationalPragmatist · 26 April 2016, 11:29 PM

From just a practical standpoint of economics, the Hublot will suffer a huge depreciation hit right on purchase (about 40%+) vice a 10% hit on the Rolex. Maybe your dad is just testing you to see if you make the smart choice :)

superstarmar · 26 April 2016, 11:49 PM

Rolex sports model , without a doubt !!!

Narbeh · 27 April 2016, 12:03 AM

Rolex for sure. I'd never spend money on a Hublot. But the watch you are looking at is a bit feminine if you ask me. For an 18 year old the explorer gets my vote

Psmith · 27 April 2016, 12:11 AM

Welcome

As others have said, perhaps look at some alternatives if this is possible.

sea-dweller · 27 April 2016, 03:47 AM

Paul_I · 27 April 2016, 04:17 AM

This will be a biased forum, but I believe a Rolex is the better choice as well. See if you can't persuade your pop into a sports model, maybe one with white gold?

Hairdude1 · 27 April 2016, 01:47 PM

Welcome! Rolex over hublot

Camden · 27 April 2016, 01:55 PM

I have them both, so hopefully I can offer an objective perspective. I thought that I want a Hublot after seeing them and watching some reviews on You Tube. I bought one at a great price new. I still have equity in it should I decide to sale, which I am still trying to decide whether to sale it or not, but am leaning towards selling it, and using the money for another Rolex. The Watch is nice, however there is not a substitute for having a Rolex, especially at your age.

sickened1 · 27 April 2016, 02:30 PM

Weclome and since you're on Rolex forum, the answer is obvious.

HL65 · 27 April 2016, 07:32 PM

Welcome and go with Rolex!

hamza · 27 April 2016, 10:01 PM

Welcome

SearChart · 28 April 2016, 04:31 AM

Welcome, & another vote for Rolex. But ask your dad to visit the AD and check a few watches within the budget, you might like the sports models more.

hamza · 28 April 2016, 08:18 PM

Rolex.!

Danny83 · 28 April 2016, 11:58 PM

Rolex

locutus49 · 29 April 2016, 12:36 AM

Rolex, but I would go for a Sub or GMT or Daytona.

Audemars Piguet · 1 May 2016, 12:22 AM

Welcome and rolex for sure

subtona · 1 May 2016, 12:32 AM

Hublot over diamonds

Daytona88 · 1 May 2016, 12:38 AM

Not a lot of Hublot love on this forum. I say Rolex!

MoonExplorer · 1 May 2016, 10:49 AM

Rolex over Hublot any day. Even if it comes with diamonds.

Tamzi · 1 May 2016, 07:43 PM

Hublot uses basic ETA movements in huge cases and ships them for many multiples of what they are actually worth. They also take a huge hit in the resale market. For your first watch I would go for the Rolex, maybe not that exact model, as they are universal currency.
