  1. The H is engraved on the plate. Therefore, we have to use a material that has to be very, very thin to match as much as possible the aparience of the gen watch. Check the pictures when the H is separated using water. It is very thin.... decals are very thin. Francisco.
  2. I think you have missed the final tutorial: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=87659 Francisco.
  3. If someone is interested in receiving by post some decals, just send me a PM. Francisco.
  4. Thanks for the review. For me the biggest flwa is the different shape of the small chrono hands... Francisco.
  5. Thanks for the idea. I am considering offering this mod...well...which one? there are three mods here... rotor, regulator and decals. However, the three mods are a long work...not cheap... sorry And I am worried about customs problems if you are not in EU. Francisco.
  6. A2mweb.con is the place where i bought it. I am not sure about the brand of paper, because tehre is no brand. But, be careful, reading on forums some people are complaining about the quality of some makers. This paper is great. Francisco.
  7. Hublot Big Bang reps can be detected using a pdf file that can be downloaded form Hublot
  8. I wrote a tuto showing how to change the Omega logo: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=80595 Francisco
  9. Yes, as I wrote in the tuto, these are the two alternatives. However, have a look to the last picture, some black paint need to be removed, from the 4 holes of the bolt. Francisco.
  10. be careful, if you screw too much the screws...the ceramic bezel can break itself...
  11. All the info is there!! http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=86883 Francisco.
  12. You can do this: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=86883 Francisco.
  13. The H is, of course, engraved on the gen. I am making a sticker...a good one. Francisco. I know you are a busy man. Thanks for thanking Francisco.
  14. In a close future I will show the final result, when the regulator and the H was added. Francisco.
  15. On the web page of Hublot it is possible to download a pdf file where it is explained how to detect a rep of the Big Bang model. Follows some pictures taken from this document. As seen, following Hublot, we have to check three things: a) Absence of regulator. Well, now this is not true, as the versions running at 21600 have a regulator (not functional). If we buy a version running at 28800 (BTW I think they are a better option) there will be no regulator. However, I explained here how to add a regulator: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=74855 b and c) There are two versions of rotors in the rep market. One, with good ball bearing, but using sticks on the rotor mass. And another version with saw-like ball bearing but with engraved rotor. No version is perfect, so modding has to be made. About modding the H… I am working on that. Some examples of reps: The watch I bought, rotor engraved, bad ball bearing. There is no H under the rotor. And follows one example with good bearing, but with stickers (and of bad quality). In addition, the screws never can be blue! They only can be black of with no colour (silver). Therefore, modding on the rotor has to be made. In my opinion, the best option is to buy a rep with engraved rotor and modifying the ball bearing. After that, adding an H (future tuto) and adding a regulator, will produce a very good rep of this watch. Needed Materials As a minimum, you have to buy the ball bearing of the ETA/Valjoux 7750 and the external bolt. Follow the prices of these two parts and the references for Cousins web store: VAL77501497 Valjoux 7750 1497 Ball Bearing
  16. You have in this forum a very detailed analysis of the movement of this watch: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=78001 Francisco.
  17. The minute counter needs adjusment. BTW, some times counts 2 minutes instead of 1 minutes, a similar problem to yours. Next picture shows how to adjust the minute counter. Francisco.
  18. No. This is not a watch from AngelaB. I bought a second hand watch with the correct He position. Francisco
  19. Hi: The info you are asking is in that post. I bought the gen dial from Ofrei. Bezel in Ebay (quite cheap) and a friend of mine relumed the hands for free. Francisco.
  20. You can check this: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=80653 Francisco
  21. I cannot see any difference with mine (pearl). About the crown, yes, it screwed more than mine. I am going to correct that. Probably it is due to a too long stem Anyway, I am going to fit a gen tube and crown. Francisco.
  22. Well, probably you have tried this before. 1.- Try to lubricate the bottom part of the hammer. 2.- Try to bend it up. Howeer, this is a bit dangeorus. Francisco.
