    Guys, buying my first Hublot.. which one would you recommend out of the two. Hublot Ferrari King Gold or Meca-10 King Gold (manual new movement). I really like both, about the same price Ferrari comes with a nice winder box and extra strap.

    Unless you are set on a hublot, I'd steer clear of them. Grab an AP, 15407 if you like open-faced watches

    I know its heresy on this forum but I'd personally steer away from the Ferrari one. Never been a fan of collaboration car watches. And I'm with gh0st0 in the fact that overall I'd lean towards an AP.

    F me.. Geesh well I am somewhat pot committed right now.. I bought a watch from them that I didn't love and they have given me a store credit. I have an Hublot smart watch that I really enjoy as a daily use one and wanted something more bling for the casual days or weekends out. Agreed on the AP, next time for sure. So stay away from the Ferrari?

    If you have to have a Hublot, get Spirit of Big Bang - my 2 cents - better resale value down the line, but the experts here might disagree and can chime-in.

    I have a 1997 Girard Perregaux 8020 which has the Cavallino Rampante. I am not the type to wear much logo-ed material but absolutely love the watch. It is both elegant and subtle. Love it. If you want a watch with the prancing horse, buy it!

    Having said that, I would expect that logo-ed watches are much more difficult to sell again; they appeal to a very small niche market. If you know you are only going to keep it for a fixed duration, be prepared for substantial depreciation when it comes time to sell it. I bought my used GP8020 for less than 25¢ on the $1 of the original MSRP. Besides being THE Ferrari watch I wanted (GP vs Panerai vs Hublot), I feel like I got a fabulous watch for small money.

    So theoretically you could recoup the money? Otherwise if it's what you like then get it, doesnt matter what we think. I know hublot take a big hit on resale and don't have the appeal that patek, ap, rolex, rm, etc. But it's all perspective right?

    Yep, you’re right. It really does look like dog crap. I like giving back to the community. I’ll help you out. Just send it to me and I’ll save you the future embarrassment of wearing it.
    :D

    Good for you!
    If they’re stupid enough to fly you for $39 or $69 take their money and go.

    Nice piece.
