Think I will give that a miss, so it won’t be joining the list of Hublot watches I have tried on that I quite liked.

Needless to say both were old models in 36-38mm cases.

At £43.00 maybe, at £4300 definitely no :thumbdown:

There are a number of heavyweight alternatives at that sort of money.

Someone would have to give me £43 to take it off their hands.

Reading the above I’m clearly in good company.

Who on earth would buy that watch, and more importantly think they look good wearing it.

^^^^ To be fair Richard beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I don’t like it, but equally there are many watches that I find dreadful, including some that are popular. I imagine it’s the same for others.

Very ture Neil. I guess it helps, in part, explain why I’m not drawn to a Tudor BB. I simply can’t see the beauty whilst others can. Maybe it’s the same with this Hublot, I just don’t see its attraction.

Not at £4.30 - it's hideous.

I'd rather have my gonads clamped in a vice and poked with rusty nails.
