is your clasp with the quick set system or, like in this watch, no quick swap so the old style?

also for killing the other thread which was opened by mistake
fun fact: my AD has both Hublot and Patek

here in Switzerland only women models in stock, truly nothing from Patek (Calatrava, Worldtimer, nichts!). I wasn't hunting for a specific patek model (imagine, you go in for a Patek and exit with a Hublot 😁 that would be something) but I found it interes...
indeed is a very interesting situation, for calatrava luckily

I have a 5127 bought 10 years ago. There was plenty of inventory back then but also now if one is patient and has AD history can get almost anything. I wanted something very different and Hublot does have that
Nice review

I actually like the shape if this case and 39mm 3 hand with no diamonds would be good. I also like some of their editions and the one with the tattoo artist - just too big for my taste. It looks like they are changing that! Very cool didn't know El primer...
Congrats and a wise choice

Contrary to what everyone on this board may say, I'm glad you bought the Hublot over a PP. That watch is killer- from one Hublotista to another

0 issues with deployant. For me it's very comfortable
quick swap
By: sschew : February 14th, 2022-00:31
But I bought as aftermarket from Hublot with custom leather straps from Stonecreek.

I bought SS straps and got the owner of the strap business to incorporate with the Hublot Ti clasps that I purchased after the fact. Works great
Congrats,

On this beautiful watch. Something different. My tip: contact Hublot, there are different lengths of bracelet pieces, so the punchings begins elsewhere. But i can confirm the same phenomenon on my 2 BB, on my CF i don’t have this. Grtz,Dom
Thanks a lot! this is excellent advice 👏

at the moment with the regular strap I am on the seconds 2 holes (so there is quiet a bit of strap touching the wrist) so may be I need the small size and see how it goes Will check in the boutique and find a solution! in your experience with the big bang...
Well,

Christian, it also depends on daytime or outside temp. I am used to it ,so it doesn’t bother me. But your clasp is at bit different, you have 1“pin” and 1 “mushroom” so i think it has do something with it. I had a KP who shares the clasp with the Spirit, ...
thank you Dom, appreciated your help
By: christianch : February 13th, 2022-13:00
pardon my ignorance, what is KP ? BB is big bang I guess here is the clasp for reference perhaps the rubber only strap will do. At the moment I am trying to wear it on the right wrist and somehow it doesn't hurt ... ...
King power

So they changed the Spirit clasp, first were like the KP or Zenith Defy21. Grtz, Dom
About the buckle...

...I had the same problem with a different Hublot model years ago and the only solution I found was to stick a bandaid on the inside. Just my 2C. About the watch... ...it's extremely cool and you wear it well. Congrats!
Another solution I read of...
By: fmc000 : February 13th, 2022-13:31
...required bending the clasp a little but I didn't go that far so I cannot comment on it. For sure it's a widespread problem, you're not alone and I'm sure you'll work out a solution.
thanks a lot, will definitely find a way, perhaps with shorter straps
By: christianch : February 13th, 2022-14:39
I noticed (saying this also for the benefit of others that might have the same issue) that in the default regular strap the increments are not very precise so it is a bit about finding the sweet spot. This is definitely something they should improve in th...
