Hi all, im a fairly new member although i have been browsing here for quite sometimes.

Looking at some of the photo of hublot bb makes me want to get some.

The question is who is a good vendor to buy from?

I have been looking at www.puretimewatch.com is this a good place to buy?

I would greatly appreciate if you guys can share a list of recommended vendors and possibly a photo of the actual watch you have purchased from the vendor.

Thanks

It is well made, but it is not swiss!

How do you know its not swiss without looking at the motor?

I sent my Carrera to The Zigmeister for a movement swap to ETA 7750, and somehow the big Chrono seconds hand got lost (most likely on my side). The Zigmeister sourced a similar hand, which were silver. He did a good job painting it, however if you look closely you can still see that it is repainted.

You can always say it is a custom piece! Actually, black/ Orange sounds kind of cool... Let's see a picture! :smile:

No doubt this watch is a nice piece and its swiss because it felt so solid! Check out the pic, I've yet to take without too much flash exposure.

Pic was taken when brand new and the saphire still covered in plastic hence the reflection.

As stupid as that sounded, I didnt think that the color was off because I ordered a blue one and if compared to a blue tag, its 1:1. lol

What did The Zigmeister do to your black/red? was it repainted to look brighter?

I thought I'd ask anyways, maybe one or two dealers can get these parts for me who knows

" 2 months later, you discovered that the hands were orange, not red!?" :laugh:

Well, I think the most likely solution will be to repaint the chrono hands. The Zigmeister did a nice job for me on the hands of a black/red Carrera.

It is hard to get such spare parts for reps. It seems like most dealers dont want to bother with selling parts, unless you are a good customer.

Hey guys,

I'm fairly new here in the forum, 1st post actually. I have a big problem with my carrera. 2 months before I found this forum, I purchased a swiss made tag carrera from Singapore. Everything was very nicely made including the motor, stainless strap, Saphire glass etc, BUT it is supposed to be the Black Sport Carrera with RED arms.

2 months later I noticed that the carrera actually has the orange arms. Imagine the blue or brown carrera back ground and orange arms, now change the background color to black!!

How can I change the dials and arms? Any dealers here willing to do it for me? I will try and get a picture up soon.

Thanks for the help.
