HYT picture and conversation thread

[jschmidtdmd]

I didn't notice a thread for HYT watches. Does any forum member have one? Anyone with experience or feedback on these pieces?

I find some of them attractive, but have never seen one in person.

Roger (Conkers) used to have one if my memory serves me right.

Indeed I did

Roger,

I love that one- would you buy again? Thoughts?

They are expensive for what they are.

I have had my eye on this brand too. I would love to support such an innovative company. I think I will pull the trigger on purchasing if they can get the size closer to 42mm. 44mm maybe depending on thickness. Now I am no size whore when it comes to watches being too big or too small, far from it, I realize they can wear differently in the metal, but 50mm is just too big for humans IMHPO.

I enjoyed the ownership experience. It got a lot of very positive comments and there were no reliability issues which I understand early owners experienced. As I recall I think it is an APRP movement. I kept it about 6 months as I recall and it went during a massive clearout for no particular reason other than my low boredom threshold.

It is an APRP product- I am actively looking into one of these. I know nothing g about pricing, but I feel it's a cool piece and would love to support the brand.

Buy with a healthy haircut. I think I bought at 50 per cent off and still lost a chunk when I sold. The one I find most interesting is the H2.

I was recently offered a H1 18KPG (NEW) at slightly more than 60% off retail. I didn't close the deal cos I need to see the watch in person before I buy n I was outstation. My thoughts at this rate is a reasonable buy. I suspect I will get bored soon n is important to buy at the right price.

I am quite tempted by the H0 thou. ��

A bit big for you Jen no?

Yes they are big but I do wear 47mm panerai, RM55 n AP concept laptimer often. I like oversized watches.

HAGWE Roger.

Same to you too. Speaking of big watches I have a strange need for a Blancpain X Fathoms. Am I mad?

You are certainly not at all. I saw that watch couple of weeks back in Singapore blancpain boutique in marina bay sand .. that was a monster! Love the rubber strap and the honeycomb grills.. you should!

[regnant]

I had worn one of those, not impressed. A cool watch in its own right but doesn't deliver to me

A friend bought a H1 titanium recently. Yes, it is big and thick but the look is cool - especially black/green version.



The retail price was usd 60k, I think with a huge discount some mentioned it would only make sense. H0 is priced at usd 39k but not yet seen in person which will be selling better I believe.

Very interesting (and nice-looking) pieces - looked at a few in Geneva a while back.
