Lol yes, they've made several straps for my gens and they don't care to sew any buckle provided. Actually, I guess they don't even think it might be reps. Last time I've been to their shop, there was 2 Pam360 waiting for their daddies with new shoes... Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

Btw, Lug screws are DLC coated too, and the strap comes with tubes!

Hi mates, Yes, I know, another thread about the newest 005 but I just wanted to show you the new strap I've received for it from ABP: Waxed Alligator Tannage spécial, with a sewn in Panerai buckle from Rolexfinder! The skin looks so great, it goes from dark charcoal to grey, with dark green between the scales... I love it and I am sure it will get a fabulous patina!

Hi mates, I have received my 026K this morning. The DLC coating looks really great and the color is spot on. I'm not sure if they updated the fonts on the dial but unfortunately, the dial looks really flat. When you look at it straight forward, It doesn't look like a sandwich dial at all. The leather strap looks great, I own the gen black calf one and the rep is good quality even if it smells a bit like plastic...Printings on the backside are wrong too. FYI, the gen 026K was fitted with a black sueded buffalo strap, I own it too and it is really fabulous, one of my favorite straps. Personally, I wear it on a custom made orange toad skin strap with the newest sewn-in DLC coated Panerai buckle from Rolexfinder. This strap is coming from ABP, a beauty! Last year, I bought the DSN version of the 026K, and it's easy to say that this new version is a huge improvement. DLCed CG is perfect, the pin highly polished, the crown is thick and the caseset great. A very good rep. And now the pics... Gen strap and gen buckle on the left, rep strap and rep buckle on the right: OEM sueded black buffalo strap: Cartel Vs. DSN DSN case and dial (sorry, my dial has been damaged and needs replacing...) 026K Vs. 177L, 219L, 005K... Lume shot after 10 sec exposure, sunny day here in the south of France... Enjoy!

<I've just shot some pics and I am uploading them right now. I will begin anew thread.

I will check but fonts are different from the 177 for sure as I have compared them side by side Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

Taka's 2893 DW is not ready, it is not straight because it is a bit raised, so DW is not perfectly aligned.

Still no news. I have a pretty nice AMG ingy I've never wore because of its crappy DW! Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

It is not full at all! Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

Connie just told me it will be released by Hublot factory. Sounds strange... Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

I guess the I key is missing on their keyboard...

The same to France

Not sure about the font, did they update it ? Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

Are you sure? MSRP in Europe is €7300. Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

Actually I already ordered from them but quit because they don't hide the watches when they ship them, so it's a bit tricky with Customs... Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

Have a look at RG, in the PT section. I'very been a bit rude there, but at least I had an answer from Angus. He said the factory production will be too big to be sold on his site only. Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
