I find it also strange that Angus is saying 'from the maker of.... bla bla'. Like he owns one factory and J&A own the other one. Fact is that J&A also sell UBCEs, UHBB etc. so they have access to the same maker(s). No advantage or USP for Angus IMO. As soon as a supposedly 2nd version is out J&A will also offer it, no doubt. Maye we can order 'a whole lume dot' from the V2 as a upgrade LOL

As can be seen on King's pics posted earlier

I think it's the lighting... Based on the other pics the blue dial looks spot on, both in regards to guilloche and colour. By the way, I ordered a black one so it doesn't really matter anyway

What could he possibly do better?..... oh right.... 'half a lume dot' All the rave about the ultimate BCE.. jeez.... it has more glaring faults than the Skyland. White dial: complete wrong colour white, TTs: too light subs, slate grey: too dark, graphite: ... where to begin. Not even mentioning the bracelet. I owned almost all dial colours at some point so I know what I'm talking about. It also suffers from the same flaws as the Skyland (mentioned earlier by Andreww): Too long chrono pushers, wrong rider tabs and wrong pearl so.....

If we had these reps 2 years ago we would be the happiest collectors alive. Don't forget we are dealing with reps and with reps come flaws. I don't mind.....

They ALWAYS incorporate flaws, not just to make a V2 later. The V2 will also have flaws. Probably even worse flaws than the V1 (the '1 step forward, 2 steps back'-principle).

According to King's pics the subdials are guilloched

There are different Asian versions... at least 3 I know of. Only 1 swiss version.

Damn I

Who's the guy that want's to write him an extended guarantee on his HBB? A Hublot official? If he sends his serial to him (as opposed in his post) he's screwed! Hate to say it but that's what you get if noobs get acces to super reps... there should be a minimum post acces to dealer offerings. Set at 500 posts or so....

Just got this reply from Andrew: Me: Is the Skyland ready for sale? Are the pics prototype shots or shots of the finished product? The reason I ask is becasue the lume dot at 3 o clock is rather bad (only half a dot). Andrew: The Lume at 3:00 is supposed to be half a lume. Thanks So I doubt wether the dot will be fixed...... Just an other flaw we have to live with.

Great news... when the bracelet is out my order is in I'm glad it looks this good..... can't wait to order but I have to be strong.

Sweet.. thanks for the heads up! I will buy it no matter what the price is (Euro > $ ). As long as it is a super rep.

butt ugly!

Man, I just want the plain SS....... no fancy stuf.

Thanks for the update. Any news on the maker? I hope it's not the SA maker......

Pics over words

This is not correct. This applies only to the slate grey version. The graphite version has a graphite rehaut.

Same here. My V2 with (slim) ETA font and gen for reference . (sorry for the crappy pic, the lighting is [censored])

Euro 40,- including the buckle... no need to buy the rep.

I don't get it..... Your old one is a V1 with AR (different bezel, beveled edge on pusher's buttons etc.) the new is one is a V2 (longer chrono pushers, different bezel etc.) .... but indeed with a really nice DW. But besides that, same ol Same ol

Aftermarket DW = Lello DW?

Thanks for the update. Great project. Looking forward to see the finished product .

Again a MOTHERF%$#$#ING rubber strap....

Looks like the Evo has a really bad date alignment. Other than that it's breath taking!!!!
