AP or hublot?
Which one do you prefer guys, hublot or AP? Because I think they produce a very similar type of watches? What do you think?

AP has better quality, long time established , away much better then Hublot. Cant compare between these 2. Hublot can match the price whatever they want, they will having a hard time to catch up AP. Just like Casio compare to Seiko.

AP has the better pedigree. I like AP better but from everything I've read about Hublot their watches are of high quality and are developing a strong following from the young crowd. They haven't been around that long so who knows where their future will go. I think asking on here will give a huge AP bias. Pick the one you like best.

Seriously, if you're asking this question, you should probably do a bit more investigation before buying a watch from either brand.

AP but I'd be curious to hear the OP's theory on the similarities.

I do some investigations, I don't know in US, but in switzerland, hublot is a very solid brand, even better than AP marketing ( in switzerland ) that's why this question came out from my mind.

I don't doubt that JCB has done wonders with Hublot. I'm interested in the perceived similarities between the two brands.

I picked AP over Hublot myself, as I preferred the RO over the Big Bang, but I do think that Hublot use some pretty interesting materials for their watches.
