It was the second watch that I bought with my own money, when I didn't even know the brands of some of the watches in my current collection.

I also bought the ladies version for my wife, which she still wears very often. I can confirm that it is extremely reliable.

The contenders at the time were mainly Omega, Breitling and Rolex. Hublot was really hot those days.

Indeed our taste evolves quickly, and marketing plays a big role there.

It's still nice to handle this watch, it's sophisticated and I like how it's built.

I'm not a huge fan of Hublot to be honest, but I think that they were the ones who introduced the rubber bands into the luxury watches. This was quite a revolution, in my opinion.

There is most certainly a subtle beauty in its simplicity

Again, I'm not the biggest Hublot fan by any means but this stands in contrast to some of the garish stuff the put out nowadays

I agree 100% 😊

Well here is some good news; bi-color is slowly making a comeback

You may be right, indeed

Maybe it has to do with the fact that bi-color watches are the only Rolexes that you can actually buy (at a sensible price), and that's affecting the whole watch trend 😜 Anyways, I'm still enjoying my Hublot these days of confinement, the yellow gold colo...
