Considering Selling Hublot. What is it worth?

[cyberstven]

Hey everyone. I've made a handful of purchases over the years, and while I have basically been obsessed with most of them, I just never really "clicked" with my Hublot. I've considered selling it, then I'd wear it again and want to keep it... you know how it is. Anyways, I've finally decided that I want to sell it, but I have no clue what range I should list it for. I bought it from Josh back in the day while he was still on the forum (I don't even remember which model this is), its not the ceramic version and was in the $350 range when I bought it. Very good condition. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

From the looks of it this one doesn't have AR does it? Got a shot of the back and rotor?

Yeah, I don't recall it having AR. Here are pics of the back. I don't have anything to open it up, but I remember that it was some sort of asian movement (I know that doesn't help much). Thanks for the help.

Hmm I thought all the auto HBB's had display casebacks?

Is it definitely an auto (vs a quartz)?

Not at all, there are a lot with solid backs. Mostly the special editions though.

Need a shot of the dial head on to determine 100% but it appears to be one of the early Tuiga's from the V1 factory in the "lite" offering. They were PVD bezels instead of ceramic and they had no AR and sold for about 300-350 depending on which model it was.

it is a Tuiga with solide case back, the qustion is high or low beat.

Yep - if it is a V1 Lite, which is what I suspect since they came with the PVD bezels and no AR back in say 07-08ish then it'd be a high beat - in fact I think that was the only decent quality HBB rep back then, don't recall a V2 factory going back that far b/c I bought my first one back in early 07 and the only cheap ones were the lite V1 model w/ no AR PVD bezel. Date font would tell us, but so would unscrewing the back and opening it up.

That's right. Forgot the special editions came with closed casebacks.

Oops, learn something new every day

Yup this all sounds about right. I won't be able to send pictures of the face as I am traveling on a business trip for a few days. Assuming that this is the V1 from the noob factory, what do you think I can get for it in the member sales area? I really want a new watch and could really use the funds to contribute toward it! Thanks so much for all of the info everyone.

Check your PM's I sent you a message - perhaps a trade? Otherwise I'd say given the price of the new V1 ceramics you're looking at 230ish shipped. The lite stainless version that Angus can still get comes with ceramic for around 260 or stainless bezel for 240, so prices have dropped considerably. If you're interested in the blacksteel I offered, let me know - I'm in SoCal.
