Nice one Lani Might have to get this after all....

The gen with ceramic bezel has recessed numbers for sure, 100%

Or this even : http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=75070

Gigity, gigity?

And while you're at it, you may as well take a hammer to the crystal, to see if its shatter proof!

Sweet watch for sure Looks pretty good in terms of replication Thanks for taking the pictures to share with us!

There are quite a few peeps viewing this thread lol I bet Lani posts the pics in another thread just to confuse everybody

No you have to post more pictures than everyone else.... and better ones too....

A few peeps over at repgeek have the watch in hand now too, so we should have plenty of pictures and a review or two to look over soon All this Rolex talk has made me put on my Rolex SSD, it had been a while....

Nice one Some great shots there, thanks very much! Maybe Lani could try to duplicate them for a comparison?

I think I will have a nice suprise tomorrow when I get up

It seems you have a lot of peeps waiting on your every key press, so to speak I look forward to seeing some decent, non dealer pictures of this watch (and to finding out if the bezel is Q-tip proof )

Hehe, I know you were joking, I just googled "Q-tip" You have the watch already? I thought we were still waiting for peeps to receive the first batch? *Waits patiently for an update/review*

No worries, I doubt anyone will want to I feel after a few weeks we should find out anyway

Is that $50 a typo? Although the accuracy of this replica is actually very good really (we are all spoilt and way too anal ), it will all be ruined if the bezel picks up scratches easily, as the gen does not scratch at all.... So in my opinion, everything else is secondary, if you can't wear the watch because of bezel scratches..... Cheers!

As mentioned before, what we should be asking is........ Does the replica bezel scratch easily? I mean who cares about font and thickeness etc...... As soon as it pics up a single scratch, thats the end of that, it will be spotted as replica easily..... So who has ordered it and is going to do a scratch test? If it is scratch resistant, I may pick one up from the next batch

Great news! I am sure that bit of information will create a lot of interest and anticipation among our members Did you contact the Chopard movement maker? Or were you looking at other ways before hand, via a different maker?

I agree! Here you go rolexadict.... http://www.thefreedictionary.com/humor

Thanks man! What gets me is that rolexadict seems to have been a member since Oct 2007, why wait all that time and then crap on other members and moderators with your first post?

Welcome to the forums, I would like to say what a great first post, but........ Seriously, a rethink of your attitude is most definitely needed if you are really seeking to join this community...... Cheers!

Hi Watchmark! Well the Chopard movement in it's current configuration would not be correct for the HBB, but if the movement maker was contacted, maybe they could change/create their 7750 for a new HBB? The subdial layout would need changing from 6/9/12 to 3/6/9, and it would also need a Hublot decorated bridge and rotor. As I stated before, if it could be done it would be the best 7750 movement in any hublot to date! As it has the high beat with a working regulator! All the other HBB's are either high beat without a regulator, or low beat with a non functional regulator..... Cheers!

Should not raise the price too much, the black dial Chopard is about $385.....

Also for the movement, why not get Watchmark to try and source the new Asian7750, the one used in the ultimate Chopard? The new 7750 version has high beat and a functional regulator.... That way you would get the best possible appearance..... Pics! Now I know this movement has a different base plate for the Chopard case design, and layout issues, but they must be able to change that to work with a new ultimate HBB? They would sell loads of HBB's with this more accurate movement, just use the "H" hublot bridge and rotor..... Cheers!

Don't forget the chronograpgh center seconds hand...... If you look at it can you spot the flaw? The red paint does not go far enough to create the Hublot "H" correctly...... Cheers!

The most obvious giveaway would be the first ever scratch the PVD bezel gets, if they made it that way..... Why should we assume ceramic means expensive? The ceramic Rado replicas are not expensive and yet they are fully ceramic and there are other watches too...... The factories/dealers seem to think that a new watch/ceramic part means 2x normal price Still, nice enough replica though, I have seen the genuine and was suprised by how much larger and thicker it was than any other Rolex....
