Unbelievable

Hi Fred,

I hope you're doing well.

I'm glad you liked it, and respect your right to like it but alas I can't refrain from thinking that it is really a good thing that we do not discuss value here, because the value you indicate for this watch seems to me pretty ridiculous!

Although I have to confess I really dislike what Hublot has become in the last years, and fully understand that it is a matter of personal taste and consequently make no judgement about the opinion others can have, I feel forced to ask if money is so easily available that someone can pay such a price for such a watch?

Looking at the number of minute repeaters available out there today, I feel it will be a hard job to sell these. Am I alone?

Cheers

Dje

... after all, as the PP moderator you will know better than most what a Patek minute repeater with tourbillon would cost. What price on a 3939? A 5016? A 5078? Or the 5207 (which you reviewed so thoroughly and so very well)? No, there's a different sensi...

Its not the price; Its the units.....

pplater, I'm trying to translate previous opinions in this thread. I think the issue is not 'price' as in currency, to express 'value', which was the original query term in the first posting. When we try to value a watch, we us different units of measurem...

as always. The proposition under reply, from Dje, was: "I feel forced to ask if money is so easily available that someone can pay such a price for such a watch?" but your point is well made and well taken. However, you can keep the puppy... Cheers, pplate...
