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.

Will be curious to see if there is any noticeable performance differences (see beat rate question thread).

JPBlackBay · Yesterday, 06:20 AM

Awesome. Congrats! I feel the same about the Big Bang Unico. Love that chrono and would be awesome to have one in the collection. Enjoy

Its funny...sort of...I have a watch friend that I told this was on its way in. His immediate response was "oh no, you should never have done that." I said "cool story, why do you think that." Long pause, he said "well, I really have no idea." Once he saw it, totally changed his tune.

Hublot is a big brand and somebody is buying them. Congrats. Looks great on you.

walds11 · Yesterday, 08:26 AM

I am a big fan of the Hublot brand. I like the Big Bang Unico Titanium Blue Ceramic in 42mm. True Hublot in-house movement.

The SoBB is a nice one! It’s gives off RM vibes. Nothing wrong with that.

Malum · Yesterday, 10:33 AM

Don’t apologize for finding a watch you like , buying it and then loving it !

ap1 · Yesterday, 10:43 AM

Was this what you settled on from the open worked thread? Looks cool to me. Grats

rmlovett1 · Yesterday, 11:27 AM

If you like it…that’s what matters. Nice looking watch! My RM has its own hate club as well

Congratulations!

The only ones hating in the RM club are the ones stroking checks.

Congrats! Feels awesome buying something you love and dont give a damn what other ppl think.

corky · Yesterday, 09:27 PM

A brand with an undeserved bad rep.

Love what they do with pushing boundaries with respect to case materials.

What I would say is that they were over marketed, and overpriced but it seems less so nowadays.

This example is a great looking watch and well done for getting it at a good price.
