I'm supposed to hate it, but I don't

I am fully aware of the disdain for this brand, but I have really taken a liking to this model. I got a great price on it, so the "they are too over-priced" argument doesn't hold up. Open worked face, that has proven to be most legible in nearly every lighting condition thus far and is unique to my collection. A Zenith high beat 36K vph, chrono - very nice. The case shape is pleasant to me and also unique to my collection. The strap change may just be the fastest yet. I'd bet you could do it completely, including the excess into the keeper in 90 seconds or less. I currently have a blue croc, white rubber and black rubber strap, but have a small pile of straps on order and will proudly update upon arrival. I apologetically don't hate this watch!

The hate is just internet group think like anything else. Most haven't actually made a conscious decision they dislike the brand they were just told they should and nodded their head.

I like yours and some others from the brand a lot just have never actually seen one in person.

Awesome. I agree, Hublot is an excellent value nowadays, especially 2nd hand. IE the integral series.
