  1. Well,the moment you guys have been waiting for, sorry I said lastnight, but the pictures are too big, and it was taking forever to upload them, so left them uploading and here we are Ok, first of all: WOW!!!!!!!!!! Look at this Baby: Drumrolll..... ....................... ........................................... As you can see, an awesome representation of the sand blasted Ceramic, so far, no factory was able to replicate this in a regular 44.5mm Big Bang, we all know the V4 factory made the king power in matte sand Blasted Ceramic and the quality of this watch is very, but very good!!!! When I say better than V1, I really mean it, the feel of the watch is just like the V1, but with a better DW, and a better movement, and the same or better attention to detail, it is kind of hard to compare since this model was only available from the V2 factory that always has at the most 60% accuracy on their reps! Let's Break it down 1. Datewheel: Look at the DW font, a vast improvement: 2. The AR: Same as the V1, great and amazing true to gen double AR, almost transparent in some angles, but with a little blue hue, really amazing and not as cheap as the V2, but as good as the V1! 3. The Crystal: A little disappointment here, the crystal has the same profile as the V1, which is flush to the case, but not a bad flaw, since this is just something we geeks look after, here is a picture of the profile: 4. Crown: Wow, the most accurate crown I have seen on a rep, look at the rubber and the engraving (if that is how you call it) of the H, it looks amazingly accurate, and the attention to the pushers and the H is amazing. Plus, they are perfectly glued :lol: 5. The Strap and Clasp: They are very similar to the V1, again this is a strap that is different, feels stiff like the V1's, but has the vanilla smell like the V2's, however, an improvement has been made, Silver screws on the clasp!!!!! This is something that takes away the modding of these screws!!! 6. The movement: The great news is this is High Beat 28.8k, while improved with silver screws and correct bearing there are still your typical flaws: Missing Microregulator (now these claim to have the new movement, which per gen they don't have a microregulator, however, the bridges should be modified with a different shape if they want to mimic this movement) Incorrectly placed H, it should be centered and not to the side (easy fix) The center screw of the rotor should be Silver as well, but hey less modding to do than the V1! 7. The Caseback: The caseback is real ceramic, "believe me, I tested it", however, it should read limited edition of 250 pieces for this model, however, don't be discouraged, since it can barely be seen, and the AB2 is 500 and should use the same caseback, the serial number should be just a single line 6xxxx number, and not the 309, but again this is barely visible. In general, awesome improvement on the fonts and great looking limited edition numbers ( a little small, but great looking) 8. In conclusion This is an awesome watch with virtually very little flaws to worry about, I would highly recommend this and since there is only 250 out there in the world, the chances of being called out are very slim, I think if I see one, it would be this rep!!! :lol: :lol: I should point out a 2 flaws with this watch, and probably one: 1. The signature on the crystal: Hublot Switzerland, claims this watch has the signature on the dial, and not on the crystal, the official press release mentions signature on the dial, however in Hublot's website, it looks like it is on the crystal, so maybe some have the signature on the crystal, or maybe the prototype has the signature on the dial, will have to see a gen in the flesh to confirm this!!!, but really no big deal, you can't even see the signature in the first place :lol: :lol: 2. The color of the hands: They should be matte black like the numbers, however, they are matte gray, which is incorrect, but you would have to look at close inspection to notice it. So in reality, this watch has blown me away in quality and know that this factory is going way beyond the regular QC and attention to detail with these watches, an awesome rep, and by far the most promising factory of them all!!!! And to conclude, some more eye candy for ya!!!!! ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
  2. Just received this baby last night, I will have the review done by tonight!!! All I can say for now is this watch is way better quality than V1, in all aspects, the fell of it is real awesome, just wait until you see this baby in the flesh!!!!!
  3. Link strap you mean the Ceramic Bracelet right? Not initially, it will come out in smooth rubber, and the bracelet will come after sometime this year!
  4. Exactly well put, the case is full ceramic!!! And Matte looking sand blasted ceramic, which is why te former models were not accurate, this isthe case that can beused for the Senna 2, the Maradonna, the all black II and the Ice Bangand the black magic EVO!
  5. Yes, the DW is sunken on Gen as well, you see Gen HBB's use a Modified ETA 7750 with a Gerard Depraz Compax Module, that is the only modded part, but in essence it is still an ETA 7750 not 7753 like many think, this will be an amazing watch and you will all see once it arrives next week!!!!! Thanks for valuing my opinion, it is great to be recognized here at RWG as well!!!
  6. I don't post here often, but most of you know me very well, as the resident Hublot expert form RG, and the Hublot Mod from WC, so I will share some info with you as well!!! Ok guys, it is no secret I helped with the creation of some of the new models, this is the V5 Factory, they are Highbeats Full ceramic sand blasted finished and Great attention to detail. Just for teaser purposes, I have to let you know that Josh is personally QC'ing the watches, and he is taking pictures of the watch he is going to send before he sends them (for those who thought he is a dropshipper). Anyway, this watch has the highest standards in quality and we can say almost flawless, the movement has improved with silver screws and just the center bearing screw being black. big improvement, I shall make a Formal Review once it is here, but for now, you have to wait a week!!! Without further a due, I give you, the Bode Miller Bang!
  7. So where is he exactly, singapore or australia? And the RG member says that jakohb says he bought it, but refuses to post pictures of it! Can't believe this! Sander, please sell the plate and save us from this scammer!
  8. Even Worse, A member from RG bought both of his watches, the modded RBII and the Plat Mat HBB, for a total of 2,000 USD, that was almost a month ago, and then he stopped replying, and he just changed his numbers, so the moderators can't find him, so I guess he left with the money from at least 2 RG memebers that were promised the Watch!
  9. The other way around, the rep is in line with the pushers, the Gen is a little lower! Look at the datewindow, has a space between the cyclops and the inner bezel. This is gen all the way!
  10. Finally get it, the numbers should look similar like the hands, yellow with white in the middle, and finally see the logo, not bad though, I can live with these flaws, the numbers, not so sure though, pretty big tell, but awesome watch nonetheless. Will wait for V3 LOL!
  11. Wow, how does one purchase these in Thailand, planning to go in the next months, can someone point me in the right direction?
  12. Man feel good to be back, under a different user name though, Get the Sachin, the rose Gold rubber clad isn't really updated, the black dial is incorrect, the gray dial is too light, and it has subdial rings, it shouldn't have subdial rings that is a big tell, so get the sachin, the rep strap isn't that bad, and AP bands doesn't make one, not to mention that a lot of members have said that the Ap bands straps and the Rep straps are pretty similar in finish and quality!
