I have never really look into Hublot but the 45mm classic fusion on a bracelet got me thinking. My only problem with this watch is the Hub 1112 movement. I don't know of I can justify the price for a Sellita SW300 movement with an "inhouse date mod". What is everyone thoughts on this? |

Frankly that's my problem with a whole bunch of super-expensive watches. Past a certain price point I insist on a fully in-house movement. |

Not a big fan of Hublot, and would have a harder time buying the generic movement now that in house variants are available. I don't have an issue per se with non in house - I have a number of pieces that are technically based on generic movements - but hugely modified - my Franc Vila for example pretty much only uses the main plate. I do think that the price for Sellita (which is after all a generic copy of a generic movement) is ridiculous - I can't think of anyone else close to that price point using them. |

I was in the Hublot boutique a while back checking out some pieces, and they were actually very cool The designs were great, and I loved the way they wore. The prices were pretty preposterous though. And the saleslady acted like they were the holy grail of watches. It was a real put off. |

You cannot beat the durability and service of Hublot. Yes it is a high end watch so it comes with a high end price. Is it worth it? I got a decent discount on mine but was still hesitant as I thought I was overpaying for what I got, but now after having it, it is my favourite by far. Having one makes me want to buy another one. |

Seriously, I like Hublot's designs... but too expensive for my blood. Plus with all due respect, I can think of 10 other watches that I would buy with a budget of 10k plus. |

I was just reading that the Big Bang Hub 4100 movement is a modded eta 2894-2! Tell me I'm wrong please, 14,000 for a non inhouse. Does anyone know if this is an accurate statement? |

Did I hear someone say subc?? It's a great watch. And if there is one that will stay in the collection for a long time....I would bet dollars to doughnuts the would be the piece. |

Personal preferences here, but while I like most GOs the sport for some reason doesn't do it for me. Of the three you mentioned, you can't go wrong with the GMT. Never out of style, a helpful complication and to the degree it may matter that your mom understands what she's spending all this money for, far more people "get" a Rolex. Since you mentioned an AP, used AP Jumbo 15300s can be had around the $9-10K mark. |

Does anyone know if this is an accurate statement? i think you should stick to a cheaper watch if you are hung up on this. with the finer things in life they will not make economic sense and hublot is in that category. |
