I like the look of the Unico Big Bang Carbon, what's the thoughts of those that know about these things?

Cheers in advance

You like it, that’s all that matters.
If you think there’s a chance it’ll be re-sold within a year or two, then make sure you buy well discounted or pre-owned.
If it’s something you’re likely to keep for the next 5+ years, then residual value isn’t a major concern, in all probability.
Other than that, a more than decent enough watch, with generally excellent customer service if you need to make their acquaintance inside or outside of the warranty period.

Buy used. New, list prices are very overpriced for what they are. On the plus side Hublot offer some desirable materials such as titanium and ceramic in their cases. On the other hand, movements tend to be generic industry ebauches from ETA/Valjoux. This does however make them open for servicing by independents, subject to parts availability.

Styling is personal. I think you either get Hublot or you don't. If you like them, go for it.
