WTF?? I like watches, but this is silly
Seriously, who buys a $48k watch on the web, sight unseen? Better hurry, there are less than 5 left!!

I don't know that brand, but there are plenty out there where $48k would be a bargain and I wouldn't have to see it up close if it were from an AD with paperwork. Nice to buy online and get out of that sales tax bite too.

Anyone that can afford to pay $48k isn't going to buy it on the internet.

Hublot is a great watch, but not worth $80K.... or $48K

Not a Big Bang watch guy, but JC Biver has done miracles with the brand.

So, when that rubber strap goes in a couple of years is it going to cost $15K to get a new one?
That deal's a rip off. A quick search shows there are perfectly good Hublots (less the diamonds) available for $15K-$20K.

If I had that kind of money, I'd buy my big ticket items online whenever I could, so as to avoid the huge sales tax. I'd rather burn my money in the fireplace than let the gov't. get more of it.

That Patek has a good chance of holding it's value long-term and even appreciating some. A sizeable percentage of the highest value watch auction results each year are from Patek watches. Even some fairly mundane (for them) watches have done really well, if they weren't produced in great numbers.
The Hublot is just a good way to piss away a sizeable chunk of cash. JR |

That Patek Philippe is often discounted to 950,000. Caveat Emptor.
