The Air King puts me to sleep!

The Hublot looks powerful, robust, beautiful!

I feel dirty man!
I had a Hublot not long ago one thing I didn't like -the constant smell of vanilla from the rubber band . I didn't think the quality was at a level warranted by the price.They are very hard to get parts for repair, even my Rolex collector watch repair guy couldn't source parts,hope that helps

I did a lot research on Hublot in the past couple of days, i say go for it! its an impressive brand with very very goood service. If you have any problems at all you can send the CEO a msg on tz.com, i found that to be incredibly surprising, and it makes me want to be a part of the brand knowing that the management gives that much care and attention to its customers and the products that they market.

Yazo,
I've owned one of those flybacks and I loved it but good luck selling it...
it is very light on the wrist and a good looking watch... resell I sold mine for $2400 and the retail is $8200 ... just be in it right...

Don't get me wrong it's a very nice watch you just have to own it at a very low $$$

I personally would keep the AK if I was in your shoes. That bezel and dial on that baby is Straight up elegant & beautiful

This was the reason why I backed off - that's way too much of a drop for my taste.

Sticking w/ my OG plan of only Rolex from here on out - Expy II here I come!!
