Great to hear Peter...
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts after a few weeks of this love affair 
The Spirit is always compared to an RM, I have had them side by side a few times and yes its tonneau shaped which of course is RM's bread and butter, but I think it holds enough Hublot DNA to proudly be a Hublot.

Wow. This timepiece is incredible. Mind blown! Ok some deeper thoughts - like many collectors of both AP and Richard Mille - I had extremely skeptical of Hublot. The Big Bang is just a “cheap copy” of the Royal Oak. The Spirit is another fancy replica of ...

You now know you have been wrong for so many time, the only way is up! Joke aside, this brand is different from the rest. And like Andrew states, RM doesn't have a patent on tonneau watches. Those who think so know nothing about horlogerie. Grtz, Dom
I guess you are right!
Hublot has really established itself in a very short period - the future looks very bright. I had a chance to see some of the tech frame models and the laFerrari and i am pretty impressed!
It’s a stunning watch.
Who cares what other people think. It’s for you. And whether you like it is all that matters. I own two Hublots and enjoy them just fine. PS: a serious watch company ... ...
You are not the only one. Recent froth in prices will drive admirers/enthusiasts to better value propositions. There are plenty alternatives if one opens up their mind. You have to post...
...more pics here. One reason of them being less appreciated mostly only AP/PP pics are posted - Its just a self fulfilling prophesy- You go after what you see more. There is a reason why we think models have to be Victorias of the world )
Wow awesome and congrats!!
Please do give us another update when you have time. And please do share more pics too Btw, how's the wearability of a sapphire case? Does your wrist get hot or sweaty? Cheers, Anthony
