Cool to handle and look at but not something I would personally purchase.

Honestly, I'd rather wear that Swatch all day than the Hublot or RM.

Mine too, Brian, but even if I had the $$, I'd rather not walk around with the horological equivalent of a trophy wife on my wrist

I would never wear a Hublot and especially not that one...

I'd wear the RM if given for free ;-)

I wore a sapphire GP three bridges.

I guarantee the watch would have looked a LOT better had it been in rose gold.

Instead it just looks like a plastic watch

I actually like some hublots.

But find most see through cases don't excite me, so I guess I vote plain.
