i know that hbb is inspired by the APRO, the guy Jean-Claude Biver was working in Ap before he joined the swatch group and became CEO of hublot...
well copy or not, the watch is simply beautiful both design and qualitywise (if you ever owned or handled gen HBB you will agree with me)..ok its more a fun watch rather a "horological timepiece" but most people dont care anyway, the movt is good enough. although i of course prefer AP over HBB because design, movt all just better..
UN, its just not comparable imo. quality is ok but design is just tasteless, boring, trying too hard to impress with details..plus they use ETA base calibers...(maximarine etc)
looks a like watch you would get as gift+chocolate when you buy a yacht, lol. even that im involved with marine buisness, i dont like that brand.
