Does anyone own a Hublot Big Bang ?

Thinking of treating myself in the new year but dont know anyone who owns one.

Worth it ? quality ?

yep, had one since they first came out.

have always liked it but actually in the process of moving it on as having reached a 'certain' age i'm drawn to slightly more classic styles. on here they tend to come in for a bit of stick, not sure if that's due to all the silly variations and specials or if they are genuinley unloved. But at the time i was looking at the APROO with a rubber strap and decided on the Hublot instead as it was half the price and i'd probably just bought another watch as well.

it's never been anything other than reliable in the time i've had it and is very comfortable to wear. on the odd occassion i see one on a wrist i'm always quite taken by it and find myself getting it out of the safe for a bit of wear.

has been one of my most worn in the past few years.

Not that particular one but can't say I'm a fan of any of the other versions I have seen out in the wild.

Hi. I have a BB. Had to get one as soon as they came out. Virtually my daily wear. Great bit of kit. Rare as hens teeth in most places (I don't hang out with footballers).
Highly recommended!

Tried one on yesterday but couldn't make my mind up whether I liked it or not so gave it a miss!

Not a fan at all, had one briefly and just didn't like the feel or look of it, hate to see screw heads on watches, makes them look cheap, but maybe that's just me. Just back from holidays in Dubai & Maldives & must say it seems that Hublot have become very very popular out there, I would say easily the number one watch on the well heeled foreigners, particularly Russians. pretty common sight indeed

I couldn't quite put my finger on what I didn't like about it and as you sad it was the feel of it on my wrist especially after taking off the Daytona which feels just perfect!

I have a Hublot Big Bang Black Magic Big Aero - Carbon Fibre with Black annodised Titanium casing, Alligator (rubberised) strap. Has been my daily until last week, when I brought a Tread 2, which I've been mulling over for some time. Decided that the Tread 1 SteamPunk is just too big, but it's a delight to watch the movement of the bands and hear the mechanical noise.

The Hublot is great, less garish than many other Hublot's and is a keeper.

I have a Big Bang in Rose Gold and love it - beautifully made and very wearable. The controversy they generate only makes it more fun.

Interestingly I get the most compliments from non watch geeks who don't look twice at my AP or Rolex when I wear them.
