If buying watches as investments...
Buy icons. Remember, the market determines the value. So, if you buy something that everyone else wants and the supply is small, you can't lose big. Never buy a piece just because you like it unless you could care less about the money. A few icons: Patek 5711, AP Royal Oak and ROO, Rolex Submariner or GMT. Of course, the ideal situation is to buy one of these in good condition second hand. Also, stay away from Big watches 42mm and funky colors. That's my two cents on buying as an investment.
Funny thing, I regret every time I traded or sold a piece. My advice is, instead of taking a BIG hit by selling the Hublots and reducing the size of your collection, just be patient my friend. Looks like the money is coming, so just push back the purchase date.
Your opinion and help please!
Hi, I am a big fan of this forum and I always follow what's going on but never posted. I always learn new things from everyone here so thanks for that! I am considering selling my two Hublot watches so I can buy the AP 15202. I used to be a big Hublot fan...
Welcome to the forum.
We hope you will become active and share this passion with your friends around the world. I am sure you will get an even handed response from the members but from the sound of your voice you have made up your mind which is what it is all about. As things ...
The 15202 is so different...
... it is a real icon, one of the most beautiful, timeless watches out there imho. It also is more delicate when it comes to it\'s movement. The 2121 is not a rugged calibre like the movements your Hublots contain. Whether it\'s worthwhile to change to th...
Never too late, but...
Bill makes a solid point with his comments. One aspect to add is that the purpose and circumstances when wearing one of your Hublots vs adorning your wrist with a 15202 might be very different. The natural habitats aren\'t exactly the same, and adding the...
Even I am not the biggest friend of AP,
I would change without any hesitation. It's like a jump from Skoda to Porsche. AP's 15202 is a really beautiful watch. I bought to mine a bespoke rotor and when I happen to wear mine, the design gives me a lot of joy. Best, Kari
Thanks
Thank you all for welcoming me to this forum. Also thanks to all of your valuable replies. To be honest, in order for me to be able to afford the 15202 I need to sell both watches. I am not willing at this point to spend money on a watch (plus the wife is...
Don't worry!!
I feel it is a great move which you won\'t regret. Now keep in mind that I\'m not a Hublot fan so I am biased as .... But will try to keep my reasoning sensible. You already have the best rugged sport watch(es) in Rolex. The Royal Oak is a classy classica...
Welcome
Welcome to PuristSPro and glad to see you posting. You'll love the 15202, good luck and let us know when you get it. Regards, ED-209
Yes, I would.
I used to like Hublot and I have owned an Ice Bang which didnt last very long. As for the 15202, well it is a masterpiece of fine horology and I would sell those two to get it in a heartbeat. GOODLUCK!
Beware of the AP bug, it is contagious
It started with me and I am infecting my friends ) Here is the proof! Good luck with your decision ...
If only
It was that easy as walking into an AD and getting one. I guess thats the beauty of having one......
You Are absolutely right, these two came from opposite sides of the world
One was lucky enough and the other had to wait ....
bye bye Hublot, go for AP
I was in your shoes too, the AP15202 is a must have, after having half a dozen ROO, I got my 15202 from the boutique and they even gave me the travel alarm clock as an appreciation for becoming their customer, how sweet could that be. Last week, my D. Wad...
Thanks a lot
Again, thank you very much to every single one of you! Your comments motivated me even more. I did expect to get many comments telling me to do it but didn\'t expect the majority to say so. I am already trying to sell the watches but to be honest the pric...

Quick update!
I sold both watches and will soon pay a deposit for the 15202, but not sure of the delivery date yet! Super excited! Thanks to all your valuable comments.
