Hublot

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...  

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 ...  

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 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

but it just looks like normal gold... :( Cheers Andrew

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

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 ... 

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... 

Thank you for the information and for your interest Should you one day buy this watch, then please send me via jcbiver@ your address and case number and I will send you my personal, handwritten and till end of 2020 extended guarantee

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 ...
