Simple question. All things being equal, which would you choose?

Oops! Wrong forum. Mods, please move to the proper forum. Thanks, and sorry!

IWC makes some good looking watches, but so does Hublot

I like the IWC 3717 with the black dial & red second hand, metal link

2th Dr · 5 May 2010, 01:02 PM

One thing I'm wondering, and I'm NOT big on flipping watches, but I know first hand that IWC does not hold it's value well.

GMTJOHNNY · 5 May 2010, 01:07 PM

HUBLOT! Creative company and CEO is a very forward thinking and disruptive (in a good way) artist. Hublot should hold its value better too.

2th Dr · 5 May 2010, 01:15 PM

My choices are between these two...

The Hublot retails for $7300 and I can get it for $3595 +tax. The IWC retails for $4400 and I can get it for 3080 w/ no tax.

Watchdog · 5 May 2010, 01:18 PM

Mark, I generally prefer the aesthetics of IWC to Hublot. However, given the choices you presented (and the fact that the blue Hublot looks very nice), I would go with the Hublot.

2th Dr · 5 May 2010, 01:20 PM

Thanks for your input guys. I'm leaning towards the Hublot myself...

2th Dr · 5 May 2010, 01:23 PM

I've seen the IWC in the flesh and it's gorgeous. I haven't seen the Hublot, but from past experience, the colors on their dials are very vibrant!

sleddog · 5 May 2010, 01:26 PM

My choice and only my opinion Mark is the IWC......Pleasing looks,but the Hublot is a chrono....Tough choice!!

It IS a tough choice!

kyle L · 5 May 2010, 01:36 PM

What about an Audemars Royal Oak?

kyle L · 5 May 2010, 01:38 PM

Personally this is my favorite IWC:

Yes, yes I am!

But it may be a while before a new Daytona comes my way from MY source, so I figure I have some time to play... May be a BAD decision I know...

I was just joking!!! If your happy,so am I.!

Ultraman · 5 May 2010, 10:27 PM

The IWC sings to me more than the Hublot. But I think you can't go wrong with either!

Cru Jones · 5 May 2010, 10:46 PM

IWC....that's only b/c I am not a fan of Hublots....I think Hublots tend to be a bit of a cliché.

That being said, there are other IWC's I prefer to the one you've presented. Seems like you're getting great deals either way....If you're also ecstatic about either watch, great, but, if it's b/c of the deal, I wouldn't pick up either.

dalip · 6 May 2010, 12:22 AM

Hublot....no doubt for me Mark

Seems like you're adding regularly here Mr......

Those toothies keeping you busy

kcmo · 6 May 2010, 12:25 AM

NEITHER - Wait for the Daytona!!!!!!!!

Mark, are you being impulsive over the two watches.....especially if you like the Daytona? If so stop and think that that money is a good sound base for the needed funds for the Daytona.....

brkb · 6 May 2010, 12:54 AM

Overall? IWC

In this specific example? Hublot

JBat · 6 May 2010, 12:56 AM

I prefer the IWC's myself.

No, not really, I like both of these a lot!

Besides, I'm sure it will be a while until a Daytona is available from my favorite source...
