Hello Hublot fans,


I recently am hunting down a earliest version of the Hublot “Sapphire” releases back in the 2016

This is my first Hublot. 

I love this original 2016 first edition the best.. however when i do more research online..
I found some comes with crystal hour/minute/second hands while some other comes with metal hands..

please note the photos with the metal hands are of a same watch, the dial looks dark n light depends on lighting i guess.. 

Anyone knows the difference? Thank you v much in advance.
