What is your opinion of Hublot?
I have two in the Classic Fusion line which I got in a trade and just have never flipped, the prices in the gray or used market are reasonable but the new prices are inflated for what you get... even in the Veblen market of watches. The general design is somewhat a knockoff. Based on the iconic porthole design Gerald Genta produced for AP and seen in their Royal Oak line. Jena-Claude Biver once the sales manager for AP in Europe later became the CEO of Hublot and introduced the porthole language there. He has a dozen reasons it is different but some still see Hublot as an Audemars Piguet knockoff.
ETA link to Hodikee Talking Watches segment with Biver where he talks about his time at AP then Hublot and the similarities between the design language

AP knockoff
Thanks for that history lesson, I’ve always wondered why the two look so similar
I’ve always wanted an AP, but if I ever decide to get another watch, it’s going to be very tough to choose between that and the Classic Fusion
