Hi Arie, great CF !!

I very much like the face of the watch, as well as the strap - which I bought for my CF as well !!

I share the same opinions regarding finishing of the movement vs price.

However, it was not an option for me not to buy it - the design of Hublot is simply stunning!

Well, aparently you have a Nautilus, that makes the design aspect relativ - not to mention the rest ;-)

For my wrist 42 is the biggest it can get - so the 45 is not an option for me anyway. This makes it easier somehow...

Looking forward on how you will decide...

special Hublot Dutch Classic Fusion edition

By: Arie - Mr Orange : February 15th, 2015-10:39

It should have been at the AD just before Christmas, but it was a little delayed. Hublot apparently forgot to number the watches. And being (of course) a limited edition series of 25 pieces in total it's nice to have it numbered. So they had to be shipped...

While you will not confuse it with your Nautilus, it is a different kind of piece that looks utterly fun to wear. I tried on the same piece in the gold case and it haunts me more than I would like! Keep us posted, I hope you get it ;-)

I like it!

I don't see the orange/gold hands... it looks just like normal gold in the pictures... is it really orange-ish? Cool watch either way... still tempted? Andrew

Look at the Seconds-Chrono hand... ;-) [nt]

This is Orange-Gold...

... at least with a bit of imagination. Let's call it Soft-orange Gold... ;-)

still tempted

and going back for another fitting. But still in doubt over the entire package so to speak (price/quality). For half the price of the Dutch version I can also get a Classic Fusion Chrono Opalin. And for only a really small amount more a King gold version ...

Well, there are a couple of nice CF Chrono versions around...

The Dutch edition is really very nice (althogh I would stick to the brown strap insead of an orange one ;-). My main concern would be the size: do you like the 42 or the 45mm model better on your wrist? Over the longterm this might be the most important q...

If I deside to buy it. In any case: thank you for your personal interest! Sadly the AD got robbed under gunpoint last Saturday (around the time I had an appointment but I ran late thank god) so obviously I did not get the chance of trying it out a second ...
