To test things out I would go for the cheap version first , you're new to the game so why go for the top one first off. Hublots are a very defining watch they are pretty much in yer face look at me I've got $10k to splash on a watch , I really felt a bit self conscious with mine and let it go and went with the much more civilised APROO ( I jest ) . Seriously 100$ might be well spent rather than you moving in to the bigger league with your first purchase, also can you pull of 48mm that a big old piece.
