Checking out some Hublot watches

My lunch diet for the day....better than food (almost!) smile


I'm beginning to like these ones - though I'm still averse to chronographs, but I can get the appeal, especially once they're on the wrist. One thing I can say is that Hublot has got it right when it comes to wearability and comfort. Regardless of the size, these watches are comfortable on the wrist, even the larger 45mm ones. I still think they're too big for my wrist, but it also seems to fit ok visually, which is very strange. Better still, when on the wrist, it fits snugly and doesn't cause any discomfort.



One of my favorites which I've checked out more than 3 times. Fit and size is perfect and I like the muted shades. Only issues for me that I can't cross, a date that is not legible because the color of the font is just not clear, and the legibility if low light is not good.








Interesting one. I'm sure it will look a lot better without the plastic wrap, but I didn't want them to take it off just for me to take a pic. Legibility is not its strong point, but with that moon phase disc in blue and the overall look, that's almost a secondary problem smile 






This one is really nice and has some heft. White date background kills it for me, but if this was smaller by a little bit, it will be a contender.

When one checked out more than 3 times, there must be something alluring...,

which is totally understandable to me. I've also tied the moonphase and quite liked it, but eventually decided to go for the more casual and sporty baseball version.

The muted shades...with the shiny subdial edges...

In your case though, I think you made the right choice. I think the legibility of the moon phase is not a great strength and I would get tired of it quite quickly.

I have a true preference for the Moonphase one

I just kept thinking of the GP 1945XXL with the sapphire dial...that comparison didn't help the Hublot case for me, plus legibility was a real problem with my eyes.

38 mm is the best size

even 42mm, but IMHO 45mm looks like a pan in my wrist. I like the new models, light and perfectly fit

I agree with you completely on the 38mm and 42mm

Honestly, I guess for the Hublot look, 42mm would be the sweet spot for most wrists.

Sharing some love for the Classic Big Bangs!

Thanks for sharing. It's exciting that with all the new models over the years from Hublot, the classic Big Bangs are still every bit as relevant. Truly an innovative yet classic design. Love 'em!!!!

The bi-compax models do look cleaner and balanced

I like that there is a choice for us, and regardless of which ones we prefer, the DNA and identity is still there.
