Absolute Transparency: Hublot Big Bang Unico Sapphire
Hublot has long been known for its bold use of non-conventional materials and combinations of materials in its watch cases; several years ago, the brand even created its own scratch-resistant “Magic Gold” alloy that it has since used in several watch models. This year, Hublot makes horological history with the first large-scale series of watches with cases cut from pure sapphire blocks.Up until now, only a few one-of-a-kind pieces or extremely limited series of watches �� Richard Mille’s RM 56-02 and Hublot’s own MP05 LaFerrari Sapphire among them �� have been available commercially with pure sapphire cases.

AP Diver weight ok for daily use?

Does anyone know a website online that shows the various weights for each AP model? I'm thinking I need to consult a reference for the weight in my future watch purchases. I'm thinking I should sell this for the FC version. BTW, Here is a pic of the new watch (yep it still has the stickers).
