  1. Alright guys I finally took some proper shots of my HBB and ROO so here ya go! First let me give you my opinion of these pieces first now that I've spent some quality time fiddling with/wearing them. The AP: Easily my favorite visually and functionally of the two. The forged carbon material is amazing to behold in person. Nice and lightweight, very solid fit and finish on everything, and the lume on this is ridiculous! (as pictured) The hands are very legible which makes it simple to tell time during the day or in a pitch black room. Only issue I'm having with it is the strap is too big for me, so while I wait to come up with some XS straps, I punched an extra hole in my existing strap and that works for now. I do eventually need a replacement though because I think I made it a bit too tight, so if you have a spare XS strap for a 44mm ROO (if such a thing exists) let me know! Final Verdict: 10/10 even though I need a smaller strap! The Hublot: Absolutely love this watch! Not too much to report here. Great look, great fit, the Donerix strap Legend fitted to this is gorgeous, albeit not my cup of tea for everyday wear. I ordered some tyre rubber straps online today along with the H screwdriver so I can swap those out as soon as they get here. I can definitely see putting them back in though for a more formal event. Having tried on a genuine, I'm happy to report that this watch is virtually identical in look and feel! The lume is also very good, but not as bright as the AP, it's also a little harder to precisely tell the time on this watch since the hands are so wide. Also I'm not sure how to wind it. The crown feels like I'm winding it when it's pushed all the way in, but I'm unsure if that's what it is. Anyone out there know? Other than that, I have no complaints whatsoever! Final Verdict: 10/10 Both of these pieces are incredible! They both have an unparalleled wrist presence, especially on a small wrist like mine. I haven't had people approach me yet, but I've definitely seen people look from a distance, and they seem pretty impressed haha. They're also very nicely weighted and feel very similar to, if not identical to their genuine counterparts...and they keep great time! I love fiddling with the chrono too! Not sure why, it's just fun Overall I love these watches, Legend is awesome to work with as well. The guy is a wealth of information and knowledge about our fun hobby and I see him as a great mentor and friend to me. Bottom line, I'm totally broke now but couldn't be happier!
  2. Hello everybody! I am about to buy my first rep but I got this one problem. My wrist is pretty tiny (17cm / approx. 6,7-8inches) and I am affraid that watch such as 44mm HBB would look really silly when sitting on my wrist. You with 44mm HBB's and wrist close to mine, could you please post a wrist shot and help me? Thank you!
  3. Here is my latest purchase (thx devilseam), really a beauty. I guess it´s a v1/v2, definitely not a v6, but nevermind... I like it much, even with some minor flaws (white DW, blue screws...) because of it´s massive presence on the wrist and the polished, shiny bezel. The dial is very well made, also the clasp. Now waiting for my H-screwdriver to replace the strap with a gen. This watch is for sure a keeper! Thanks for looking!
  4. Yes, I am aware of Eric aka Donerix, but afaik there are other makers as well, I just was not able to find them even though I did search the forum. Any suggestions where to look? Banda e.g. does not list Hublot straps any more. Thank you in advance.
  5. Hey guys, I just bought myself my first replica, having a respectable collection of genuine Rolex & Breitling watches. More or less a try-out of the watch, trying to see if it's a design I'd like to live with, before spending €18,000 on one. I bought if from Trusty and it's his HBB 0239 watch, (Big Bang Rose Gold Ceramic Black A-7750). I believe it's the new v6 version, correct me if I'm wrong ( http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=279_280&products_id=9455 ). QR pics: http://imgur.com/a/erIzf . It's one of those "Made with genuine fully dissected - 1:1 replication" reps. I'm actually impressed with it, there are only very minor twirks that would make you understand it's a replica, and that, only in good light situations and probably only comparing it with the original. I have to state that the bezel does not have a blue tint, it's actually super clear. I assume they are now sourcing different crystals, so possibly ,every v6 made from now on will have such a good glass. I got a friend that has a Hublot Aero Bang, he did check out the watch from the back as well, and he didn't even ask if it's a rep. Although I have to say this was done in a night club with bad lighting and the guy was not wearing his Hublot at the time. This is such a good rep that makes the genuine watch price look silly, at least to people having no idea about quality watches. In case the following can be corrected or modded out, I guess this rep is a winner: 1) The top ("ceramic") part of the case has the side-teeth 'pattern' completely wrong. The V1 case has this pattern almost spot on. Does anyone know if this model's top part can be replaced with a V1 top case, provided that this can be sourced out? Has anyone done this? 2) The buttons and crown feel really cheap to fiddle with, at least compared to my other automatic watches. I have no experience on a real Hublot to compare though, so that might be OK. I guess the movement has to be replaced in order for that to change. 3) The movement looks quite convincing if you don't have a good memory and remember the exact dimensions and relative sizes of parts and gears. The 'HUBLOT GENEVE' writing on the winder is not engraved though. I think I've seen a HBB rep version where the winder's font was closer to the original and it was engraved, although it did need a bit of sanding down to really look the part. I can't find the thread right now though. 4) The strap will obviously be replaced, although I have no idea where to look into first. I would buy the original strap and locking mechanism in case they are worth it. 5) Is it me, or is the date window a tad off by almost half a mm? I guess this is the best that can be done on an asian 7750 Vaijoux though. In case someone has bought the new v6 from any trusted dealer and has experience with reps and mods, I guess his input in this thread would be greatly appreciated. Let's start making this version of v6 the new v1 P.S. Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics, if anyone wants DSLR pics under good lighting of the watch it's really easy for me to do.
  6. Hello community, I search a good Hublot Big Bang, which is near to the GEN. I've seen that, the Hublot Rep's are still good in their quality, very close to to gen. I already looked at trustys shop, but i have few questions. - How good is the quality of Hublot BBs Reps ? (In their "best-editions") - What about the weight? Like gen? - What about GEN Parts? I already read that i can change the parts (like Rolex Sub's). But is this really possible? Are there some Stores to search the Parts? Because i want to buy a GEN Dial, but only then, if the rep is sooo bad. - Do I have to change some parts, or looks it really like Gen? At which parts you can see the Rep? I already find this HBB's, what do you think? - http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=279_381&products_id=8682 (Favorite 2.) - http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=279_381&products_id=10936 - http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=279_381&products_id=7766 (Favorite 1.) - http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=279_381&products_id=9037 - http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=279_381&products_id=8344 Thanks for your answers, and every help! And sorry for my bad english.
  7. First off, thanks tony and thanks ALE!! (Asian7750 under the TD's at RWI) (ALE7575 from the official hublot Big Bang on RWI: http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/official-thread-hbb-82678.html)For the speedy and efficient delivery and replies @ tony and the great help and patience provided by ale who replied to all of my posts on the thread and many others too!! A review of my dealing with tony can be found here! (http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/hublot-big-bang-141911.html) I would recommend him to anyone and everyone since he has great prices and great service! This is my first 'review' and purchase so it'll be of a certain mediocre standard haha. My pictures are not the best but here goes! It looks gorgeous in my opinion. For those who said the bezel is not shiny, it SPARKLES! Just like the gen. And the stopwatch is perfect, played around with it a bit hahaha yes I know I shouldn't but I was excited. :hehehe: the dial looks scarily identical to the gen and all in all I'm very pleased with the v6!! It's an amazing watch and my marker at 6 is not off as a lot of people have claimed. Heck I told people who asked if it was fake, "yup" and they didn't even believe me! One of my friends is a watch enthusiast too haha, well my gain! The following photos were taken with my ipad and on my dining table/wrist so sorry if they aren't great! The couple of gripes that I have with respect to the watch is that firstly the red of the seconds hand on the chronograph is not as red as the gen! Secondly, the clasp is a but sharp which can hurt after long periods of wearing it or short periods if you wear it very tightly. Lastly, it's not a problem with the face, it's with the strap. As you can see, it sticks out in the photos and is quite ugly because of that. As such I'm purchasing an all black strap from Eric of hamiltonleathers who will make it for me in a week, I shall post photos when I receive them! That's all for now! :cheers: do ask me any questions!
  8. Hi All, I was wondering if my fellow Hublot collectors would be able to help me out please - I'm in need of a good source to locate another bezel for my HBB. There is nothing wrong with my current black bezel as my watch is the black evo with the silver screws, but feel I would need to spice it up occasionally with preferably titanium/grey bezel, also a Hublot screwdriver advice would be ideal Sorry if the bezel question has come up before guys Thanks in advance Guys and girlz !!
  9. Hey guys, this is my first post on the forum- I've been browsing the site for a couple of weeks after I saw an ad for a Hublot big bang in the New York Times. It immediately caught my eye and I decided to google the price and of course it was way out of my price range. That's when I started doing some research and I found out about replicas and I browsed here for a while to find a reputable dealer that I could buy from. Long story short, I decided to go with Watcheden. I placed my order on May 2 and finally received the watch today. After days of checking the USPS tracking site, I am glad to say that I love the watch. I don't know much about watches but it definitely looks the part and feels the part. I think that this purchase will be the first of many! Here are some pictures:
