I am considering adding a Hublot to my collection. I was curious, of the larger sizes, what do you guys prefer? I want to explore all models and options. I am also curious how their value holds over time (if kept in mint shape)?

Certainly better investment grade options (very few watches at all are investment grade anyway) but the Big Bang Sang Bleu has to be one of the most striking and unique timepieces
The top of the line watches have in-house movements; their "regular" counterparts, like Classic Fusions, cost above $7K with the AD, but use generic (although nicely decorated) ETA movements. Paying 7 large for an ebouche... don't know...
If you are worried about resale then just buy one on the used market. That's what I try to do. Just try to find one in very good condition with all papers and box.
They don't hold value that great for new purchases. Look for a pew-owned. Also, IMO... 48mm is too big. They look huge on my wrist, so I'd look for a 44mm or smaller personally
I currently own 3 Hublots. My latest I bought earlier this year. They annually release many models and configurations and seem to be using a limited edition strategy. Their technology and innovation is definitely improving. This year's release of the MECA 10 was reviewed very favorably by the watch blogs.
preowned hold their value rather than buying new ones. it all depends on your budget but you could start with a classic fusion or a SS big bang with carbon dial 44mm. I think they are going on the market for $7k
Typically if you buy used they will hold their value pretty well and you can get in and out of it without much expense if you take care of it. If you're buying from AD obviously you will take a hit on second hand market.
Hey Chad,
Any variant of the big bang holds its value really well. More limited editions are also solid routes to take, as their scarcity adds to their value. The Big Bang Aerofusion is one of my personal favorites!
Definitely go pre-owned as people have suggested. They may be using the “limited” technique, but it gets played out and collectors catch on quick. Even the “limited” don’t hold that well.
Like you i'm interested in possibly adding one to the collection. 1-3k pre-owned is where i stand on the basic big bang's - not quite current market but will see what the next few years bring.
I had a black magic ceramic classic fusion for a while in 2015 and it was a great watch (smaller than the 45mm case size would suggest), if a little flashy. I saved around 3k off retail by purchasing it 2nd hand, it was 2 years old
Not an investment for sure, but if you like it better try them on in person and they are coming up with smaller sized watches now if you are also interested
Personally love the look and 100% agree you need to find a good deal on a pre-owned. Currently shopping for a PO Big Bang myself.
