Key Points from the Discussion

The Hublot Big Bang Unico Essential Grey was a limited edition of 200 pieces, exclusively available for online purchase, which influenced the author's decision to buy without trying it on.
MTR made an unprecedented decision to purchase this Hublot model online in under a minute, despite having no prior experience with the brand or trying the watch on, a move he likely won't repeat.
MTR expresses a preference for the original rubber strap and deployant clasp over the alternative fabric strap with a Velcro fastener, citing better comfort and fit.
Another collector, walds11, confirms that their Big Bang Unico Titanium Blue Ceramic came with the rubber strap/deployant clasp and is considering the fabric Velcro strap despite its $735 USD price, noting Hublot's 14-day return policy.
MTR was pleasantly surprised by the quality, finishing, and movement of the Hublot Big Bang Unico Essential Grey, finding it easy to wear due to its titanium case.
Vienna is highlighted as a 'paradise for watch aficionados,' with numerous authorized dealers and brand boutiques in the first district, offering extensive window shopping opportunities.

Thank you, sshew.

I always had been watching the development of this brand, especially under Biver! But I wasn’t sure if this would be something for me. Last year I pulled the trigger when I saw this limited version you just could buy directly via internet. Without trying it before. I had never done this before… I am surprised about the quality (finishing and movement). It’s also very easy to wear since the case is made of Titanium. Cheers Thomas

Thanks a lot, Jari!

I am living there. Vienna is a paradise for watch aficionados. You have many ADs, and almost every brand has its own store in the first district. So you can do a lot of window shopping. All the best Thomas
