SteveS1221 0 Posted January 18, 2011 Hello all, My name is Steve and I'm new to watches. I was into watches when I was younger but lost my way somehow but have now been found! I'm glad there is this community that focuses on the watch and not padding the ego by buying for the name. I do have a question if anyone can help. I really enjoy the Hublot FIFA World Cup Winner's watch with Spain's colors (the blueish rubber and stitched band). I did not see it on any of the recommended sites (posted on this forum), and have only seen it on Dkwatch.com for about 80 dollars. They have a scary return policy and am dry wary. Anyone know a quality site that sells this watch? Timeshop.net has wonderful Hublots and for very fair, very low prices rather and I have sent them an email but figured I'd ask this community. Hello all and thanks for any replies ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sconehead 5 Posted January 18, 2011 Welcome to the forum Steve. Firstly, that site is more than likely a scam site, the giveaway is they're using gen pics. Secondly, between them, the dealers here can source virtually any rep that's made. Just pm/email them with a pic/description of what you want mate... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KBH 7 Posted January 18, 2011 Welcome Steve, I will have to say that for $80 it's highly unlikely that you will find a Hublot replica worth wearing. I'm not a Hublot fan, but I would expect to pay several hundred dollars minimum for a decent rep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteveS1221 0 Posted January 19, 2011 welcome! Thanks guys. From Timeshop.net, a recommended dealer, I have found some pieces about $150. They are mineral glass but otherwise look exactly the same as the ones costing about $350 with crystal sapphire. Could it be that the glass upgrade would cost $200? Is mineral glass that much worse? If anyone responds, great, but Im sure I can find the answers here somewhere! I swear I've must have spent 15+ hours in the past 3 days reading and looking at watches. It is an addiction. I also like the Patek Phillipe with the big dipper. Black strap black dial Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turnipz 0 Posted January 19, 2011 Its usually a better movement in the more expensive reps, which means a smoother sweep of the watch hand which is more accurate to most genuine watches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,499 Posted January 19, 2011 Hello and welcome . You're doing the right thing by searching the forum and reading - well done! If you have any questions then just ask and someone will be able to help. Your question above about mineral v's sapphire, the crystal upgrade itself would not cost $200 extra but you may find that the sapphire version uses a better casing and/or movement. If the movements are the same then almost certainly it has a higher quality casing. Mineral glass is fine - especially if you look after your watches and don't wear them while working on a construction site or doing an oil change on your car .
