AP vs Hublot how to decide?
So here is my story: I wanted to add an AP ROO (42mm) into my collection with my favorite being the model with the black ceramic bezel. Now the issue with AP is their distribution strategy which made them retire from most AD's and concentrate to boutique ...
I can understand youRvery well!
You very clearly pointed out the pros and cons of both watches. Let me add some points: - The Hublot has a home-made movement, constructed by the manufactory itself. - The power reserve of the Hublot is slightly longer than that of the AP (72 vs. 65 hours...
Sorry... I pressed the button too early...
- The Hublot has a ingenious system which allows you to change the strap within a few seconds. - The column wheel and other parts of the movement can easily be seen. That makes a lot of fun, everyday you wear it. - Instead of being a big fan of AP and esp...
There's an interview with Jean-Claude Biver
He describes the differences between the two. It's on a popular watch web magazine. Perhaps of interest.
Thanks for your input,Michael.
I still do not understand why AP has withdrawn from our local market: one of the wealthiest places in the world with a loyal customer base.
Same thing happened in the San Francisco Bay Area
Silicon Valley, one of the wealthiest areas in the world. All the ADs lost the line and the closest boutique is over 300 miles away. Very disappointing.
Well, get the Hublot to support yr local AD and hit the ROO a year or two later.
Both are totally different, except they are ceramic sport chrono. My guess would be majority going fr ROO given that BB is still not at the same status of ROO in term of history and market retention value. I dun own any of these two brands but may conside...
The AP for me...
because if one day you need to sell it, things will be muche easier than with the Hublot. And the combo caliber 3120 + module DD works fine. Best regards. Fx
Easy decision
With respect to JC Biver, a great man, a great watch lover.... a charismatic genius... and with respect to ...Hublot... and only because you asked... Hublot is a blatant and unmistakable copycat of AP. It has no DNA of its own. Hublot was a brand of no co...
You certainly have some valid points here.
So my final choice could be to get ….none of them. Hublot because I share some of your points ; AP due to their distribution strategy.
I think Hublot makes the cooler watch
not the best but the cooler and can have a big discount. The only AP I had broke with oils drying up so my personal opinion on AP is different and based off my experience! Hublot is cool especially if you own multiple watches
