The new Daytona looks like a Hublot Big Bang

Do you agree?

I think the photography style is very similar the photos of the new Daytona are taken in the same type of lighting.

I can see where you are going but the new Daytona to me has more of a velvety chocolate feel I don't get that from this watch.

Perhaps Rolex and Hublot are considering a Joint Venture or even a M&A deal. ;-)

No way, please do not compare a dayona with a hublot....ever!

The daytona watch is rich in history, hublot as a company has only been out since the 80's

Not so much. I've made the mistake in my earlier years to confuse an AP with an Hublot, but now, I can't imagine how intoxicated I must have been to have made that mistake.

I sure hope not. I have handled a few Big Bangs and to me they were hideous.

Have to admit, that Hublot came to my mind when I first saw the new Daytona.
My AD says that the new Daytona is in a way designed for ladies. Donīt know if you agree with this.
