Hublot

After many years of enjoying wonderful watches I finally bought my first Hublot so I am officially an Hublotista 😁 Some background information: I always admired the innovation at Hublot and especially Jean-Claude Biver (which I had the pleasure to meet at...  

PS: I killed your earlier thread which was empty, so the review can stay here. Enjoy.

also for killing the other thread which was opened by mistake

here in Switzerland only women models in stock, truly nothing from Patek (Calatrava, Worldtimer, nichts!). I wasn't hunting for a specific patek model (imagine, you go in for a Patek and exit with a Hublot 😁 that would be something) but I found it interes... 

When even the annual calendars or the PM Calatravas sold out fast, then you know it IS getting competitive! ;-)) Seriously, I do hope you can find a Patek model you like as your next purchase, should you choose this direction --- especially at this same b... 

I have a 5127 bought 10 years ago. There was plenty of inventory back then but also now if one is patient and has AD history can get almost anything. I wanted something very different and Hublot does have that

I actually like the shape if this case and 39mm 3 hand with no diamonds would be good. I also like some of their editions and the one with the tattoo artist - just too big for my taste. It looks like they are changing that! Very cool didn't know El primer... 

before looking more in detail. I knew about their Unico model but not that they had this great movement for the spirit of big bang.

I would be also very curious about the rate accuracy of your stunning Hublot!

Contrary to what everyone on this board may say, I'm glad you bought the Hublot over a PP. That watch is killer- from one Hublotista to another

Love the watch, beside the deployant clasp issue which I will sort out. Will try a different strap or length, need to figure this out

0 issues with deployant. For me it's very comfortable

perhaps will post some pics of the clasp in a separate topic to gather more information

But I bought as aftermarket from Hublot with custom leather straps from Stonecreek.

I bought SS straps and got the owner of the strap business to incorporate with the Hublot Ti clasps that I purchased after the fact. Works great

On this beautiful watch. Something different. My tip: contact Hublot, there are different lengths of bracelet pieces, so the punchings begins elsewhere. But i can confirm the same phenomenon on my 2 BB, on my CF i don’t have this. Grtz,Dom

at the moment with the regular strap I am on the seconds 2 holes (so there is quiet a bit of strap touching the wrist) so may be I need the small size and see how it goes Will check in the boutique and find a solution! in your experience with the big bang... 

Christian, it also depends on daytime or outside temp. I am used to it ,so it doesn’t bother me. But your clasp is at bit different, you have 1“pin” and 1 “mushroom” so i think it has do something with it. I had a KP who shares the clasp with the Spirit, ... 

pardon my ignorance, what is KP ? BB is big bang I guess here is the clasp for reference perhaps the rubber only strap will do. At the moment I am trying to wear it on the right wrist and somehow it doesn't hurt ... ...  

So they changed the Spirit clasp, first were like the KP or Zenith Defy21. Grtz, Dom

...I had the same problem with a different Hublot model years ago and the only solution I found was to stick a bandaid on the inside. Just my 2C. About the watch... ...it's extremely cool and you wear it well. Congrats!

pity about the clasp but I will find a solution I am sure. I read somewhere about the bandaid solution and I am trying to avoid it 😁

...required bending the clasp a little but I didn't go that far so I cannot comment on it. For sure it's a widespread problem, you're not alone and I'm sure you'll work out a solution.

I noticed (saying this also for the benefit of others that might have the same issue) that in the default regular strap the increments are not very precise so it is a bit about finding the sweet spot. This is definitely something they should improve in th...
