If you can't beat them.... Join them.... (Daytona content - open at your own risk)

so we all know there is the Rolex Daytona Leopard... which is loved by many many ladies out there






.












.

















it is so popular that Hublot thought they should also jump on the bandwagon.... so at Basel 2011, they have introduced the Hubolt Big Bang Leopard...
Maybe they are trying to be slightly different, they made it at 41mm



(more info - http://www.hublot.com/en/NEWS/1874_b...N/71/ZOOM/1170)







your thoughts on this?

/i will get my coat

I never thought I could ever say these words about the Leopard Daytona, but I actually think that that Hublot model makes the Daytona look nice

The big bang leopard looks like the male version, but it would take a special kind of man to wear that timepiece. First name that came to mind is Elton.

They are both beautiful watches, but of course they are shown here out of context. Usually for the appropriate viewing of these watches they should be shown on the wrist of a lady. Also in real life they look far nicer.

i disagree,
in real life it is every bit as ugly if not more so.
yes on a lady it may look nicer.... especially if all she was wearing was a SDDS with the dive suit extension opened and the DS carefully placed over the spotted pig.

Thanks for this Eric...Just woken up on a Sunday and it's put me off my Sunday brekkie!!!!

I have seen a Leopard Daytona (on the wrist of what turned out to be a scammers wife)....to be honest it didn't look too bad. The Hublot, on the other hand, does seem to be designed for a man - perhaps the scammers wife can send it to her man in jailIt would suit him

I know a lady that has that Daytona and its acutally not that bad looking on her. She wears it when she's out in jeans and T-shirt and it looks much better than I ever thought. While there are many obnoxious dressing people out there, they certainly wouldn't wear it to match their leopard Robert Cavalli top. Its really a stand alone accessory.

I've watched the same lady drop $150k on an evening gown and walk across the street to Chopard and buy a $40k watch to match the gown. 20 minutes later, she went back chopard and bought the same watch in rose gold because she like the "look"
