Your opinion and help please!

Hi,

I am a big fan of this forum and I always follow what's going on but never posted. I always learn new things from everyone here so thanks for that!

I am considering selling my two Hublot watches so I can buy the AP 15202. I used to be a big Hublot fan, but I recently found myself growing out of the brand and looking to resizing my collection to fewer watches but with more value and history. I currently own Rolex submariner 16610 and 16613, Rolex Milgauss GV and a PAM392.

My question is do you think I should be selling my two Hublot watches to buy the AP 15202? I know this is an AP forum and most of us here love AP, but I would greatly appreciate your unbiased opinion. I am not considering selling any of my other watches as I truly love each one of them. The Hublots I am kind of bored of them and they don't get enough wrist time. However, again I am wondering if it is worth it to lose two watches to buy one watch.

Also, does the AP 15202 retain its value? If I am to sell the Hublots I will be losing a good amount of money. I don't want this to be the case if I ever decide to sell the AP.

I attach a picture of my two Hublots. I greatly appreciate your honest opinion and advice. Thanks.

... it is a real icon, one of the most beautiful, timeless watches out there imho. It also is more delicate when it comes to it\'s movement. The 2121 is not a rugged calibre like the movements your Hublots contain. Whether it\'s worthwhile to change to th...

Bill makes a solid point with his comments. One aspect to add is that the purpose and circumstances when wearing one of your Hublots vs adorning your wrist with a 15202 might be very different. The natural habitats aren\'t exactly the same, and adding the...

Nicely put. [nt]

I would change without any hesitation. It's like a jump from Skoda to Porsche. AP's 15202 is a really beautiful watch. I bought to mine a bespoke rotor and when I happen to wear mine, the design gives me a lot of joy. Best, Kari

Thanks

Thank you all for welcoming me to this forum. Also thanks to all of your valuable replies. To be honest, in order for me to be able to afford the 15202 I need to sell both watches. I am not willing at this point to spend money on a watch (plus the wife is...

I feel it is a great move which you won\'t regret. Now keep in mind that I\'m not a Hublot fan so I am biased as .... But will try to keep my reasoning sensible. You already have the best rugged sport watch(es) in Rolex. The Royal Oak is a classy classica...

selling the two watches to buy another one that maybe a good idea,

Yes, I would.

By: fai9al_429 : March 1st, 2016-23:48

I used to like Hublot and I have owned an Ice Bang which didnt last very long. As for the 15202, well it is a masterpiece of fine horology and I would sell those two to get it in a heartbeat. GOODLUCK!

It was that easy as walking into an AD and getting one. I guess thats the beauty of having one......

You Are absolutely right, these two came from opposite sides of the world

One was lucky enough and the other had to wait ....

bye bye Hublot, go for AP

By: Watches4ever : March 2nd, 2016-06:52

I was in your shoes too, the AP15202 is a must have, after having half a dozen ROO, I got my 15202 from the boutique and they even gave me the travel alarm clock as an appreciation for becoming their customer, how sweet could that be. Last week, my D. Wad...

Thanks a lot

By: ns23 : March 2nd, 2016-08:00

Again, thank you very much to every single one of you! Your comments motivated me even more. I did expect to get many comments telling me to do it but didn\'t expect the majority to say so. I am already trying to sell the watches but to be honest the pric...

Buy icons. Remember, the market determines the value. So, if you buy something that everyone else wants and the supply is small, you can't lose big. Never buy a piece just because you like it unless you could care less about the money. A few icons: Patek ...

Quick update!

By: ns23 : April 7th, 2016-13:36

I sold both watches and will soon pay a deposit for the 15202, but not sure of the delivery date yet! Super excited! Thanks to all your valuable comments.
