Well, I can't say I see no similarities, but enough to call it a "knock off," no.







I see the Hublot BB as "like" an ROO in the same way I see the Chrysler 300 as "like a Bentley." It looks like one until you put it next to one.





In each case, I think the similarity is found as follows:
  • they are both watches with bezel screws
  • they are both cars with four doors and squarish-grilles
As for which one is cheaper it's not obvious to me just by looking at it which one is -- which vehicle of pair of cars or which watch of the pair of watches.


All the best.
