I just picked up my second Hublot diver and I'm very pleased with it. It's built like a tank yet not so bold as the original 4000m. I know a lot of people hate Hublots (for wahtever reason) and that's OK. Everyone has an opinion. Now these pictures are not the greatest as I'm a really bad photographer. It only gives you an idea of the look. Trust me the watches in the flesh look 1000x better and the quality and finish is excellent. If you've never actually seen a Hublot with your own eyes I actually encourage you to visit an AD and have a peek. You may even like them!!! Just thought I would show a few pics for those who may be interested in the brand and/or watch. As a reference both wrists are over 7 inches (the left slightly larger than the right). Anyway please enjoy!!!

I don't hate hublot. I think they are a bit pricey but they're cool in my book. Congrats on two awesome looking pieces.

I'm not generally a Hublot fan, but I've liked the original 4000m version for some time. But your newer one is even better! Personally I think they're right at the upper limit of what your wrist size can carry off, but they're great pieces.

I tried the 4000m while I was on vacation. The only thing I didn't like was the quick release strap. For a 20k retail watch the strap wiggled a whole lot. The rep told me its made like that. Then I look at the price, I think Govberg has one used for like 12k. Wayyyyyy to big maybe when I was younger I'd like it. Congrats on your purchase looks stunning.

When I first heard they were releasing a 1000m version I was excited and expecting it to be cheaper, but this didn't happen. I want another Hublot and this is the one I want, but hard to justify when I will not use the majority of the functionality (then again there are so many features of my other watches that I have no use for!).

Great watch and I love the colours of the 1000m

Wow, at first I hated the look of this watch so I wasn't going to comment. But I appreciate the originality of going somewhere most won't. Either because the watch seems overpriced for what it is or the size and shape being too massive for most wrists. I actually have a rather small wrist and I just bought a 46mm Navi World. But yours seems like more of a sport/diving watch, so congrats.

:wink:
