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 not very supportive of spending on another new watch!). I also am not planning on buying a used 15202 as it is my first AP and I want to live the experience... Plus from my quick search I don't think the difference between used and new is worth considering the used...

Few years ago I was a very big fan of Hublot, collected everything related to Hublot too. But back then I wasn't as educated in watches as I am now. Now, I do understand watches much more and I do appreciate what watchmaking is all about. Back then Hublot was a very cool watch for me. Now I am honestly bored of the watches and I noticed that their finishing isn't that great. I also didn't find that the watches are reliable in terms of the movement. I also decided that I need quality over quantity. I want to focus on top watches with history, etc...

I think the answer is clear, and I know what I want - the AP 15202. It has been my dream watch for a while, and I have been obsessing about it for ages. However, it is the first time I ever sell a watch let alone two, so this is why I am a bit worried and debating the idea of doing the move...

I look forward to hear more of your comments. Thank you very much again

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...

... 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...

By: Semper Fidelis : March 1st, 2016-09:46

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...

By: dr.kol : March 1st, 2016-09:50

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

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...

By: leighapfraise : March 1st, 2016-17:48

selling the two watches to buy another one that maybe a good idea,

Yes, I would.

By: fai9al_429 : March 1st, 2016-23:48

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!

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

By: Watches4ever : March 2nd, 2016-06:52

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

By: ns23 : March 2nd, 2016-08:00

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...

By: kennygfunk : March 2nd, 2016-17:30

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 ...

Quick update!

By: ns23 : April 7th, 2016-13:36

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.
