Depends on what you like... Hublot has never appealed to me as a brand. But after trying one of their watches recently, I changed my mind. Sort of. They have some interesting designs and in-house mov'ts are not bad either. Someday I'll have one in my collection.
9500$ seems a bit steep though. Given the current market, I'd ask for a lower $.

Hublot is unpopular on the forum. Too derivative of the AP RO, among other problems. But if you like it, get it.

If this is how you shop you will go broke.

If you can handle 48mm and like the watch buy it!
But don't buy it because it's ''cheap'' For 9,5k usd I'd buy any Rolex over this, I can not see how this is sought after in the future. But what do i know about Hublot... |

I'd rather get a preowned 44mm Big Bang for that price, not as huge of a markdown but more versatile imo.
If you want a big watch go for it! |

The knock down from retail would be a clue for me I’m afraid.

If it is $27K to $9500 for you, can you imagine the hit for resale?

If you want this watch, get it! Buying watches is not usually a profitable experience for buyers.

If you need to justify the purchase this is one way to do it.

I quite liked the BB All Black original watch after I heard how Biver came up with the idea. I would go for that, also a better size for me, esp at this kind of price.

we visit the Hublot watch workshop and they said the watch is original but the bezel has been changed.

Hublot has no bottom. In other words no matter how cheap u pick one up you will always take a beating if you try and sell back. Speaking from experience
