I wouldn't recommend bending the deployant, you could lose alignment and make it unusable, or it can easily break from the pressure of bending it.
Just buy a buckle w/ springbar at AP Bands if you want some branding, or you can find generic ones on the bay.
You should be able to micro adjust the date wheel. Just move it a little, like you are changing dates, until it's centered and then push the crown back in. It may take a few tries, but I've been able to do this with the ones I've had that were slightly off. It's normal.
Flaunting a rep anywhere to anyone is in bad form, and absolutely moronic to try and fool an AD. I would hope that every AD would call out the fool and embarrass them in public, because they deserve to but put in their place.
Wear your reps discreetly. It's really for your own satisfaction anyway. I think it's really embarassing when I see people seeking attention with their fake watch by waving it around to get eye contact from strangers.
I agree with this especially for the rose gold versions. The contrast of the black rubber and rose gold pieces in the middle of the strap, makes it really stand out as unique.
No such dial exists. The sub-dial spacing is not per gen and therefore there is no room for the 12 o'clock marker on the rep dials currently out.
We can only hope for a future update w/ secs at 12 and correct dial.
I think Hublot's 2009 Basel releases are keeping their lineup fresh.

I'm digging the King Power and the BB Evolution.
