HBB replacement crystal/glass?

[mt666tm]

Anyone know where I can get a replacement crystal/glass for a Hublot Big Bang Rep? Needless to say I was careless today and bonked mine and put a small chip in the edge of the glass

There is a member on RWI that sells a replacement HBB saphire AR crystal. I think he goes under something like taka or? You could also contact Hontwatch.com to see if Hont can get you one. Most of the dealers here could also probably get you one. You just need to know which version you have. If I remember, they might be a different size/thickness for Ver 1, 2 and 3. Tony at Asian7750.com can also source parts for the HBB.

yes, I'd suggest to contact takashi from 2geek.net , he has a crystal with double AR, same thickness as the gen HBB, about

If you bought a quartz rep, be careful. Many of the parts on the quartz reps are not interchangeable with the 7750. The quartz reps are all different (different makers), so some parts will fit, some won't. I tried to swap a bezel on one of mine and I realized the inner diameter (as well as the diameter of the crystal) was actually smaller than the 7750 version.

Hi, is the 2geek crystal a sapphire one? does it have double AR?

You can use one of mine as well. Sapphire with correct thickness and Swiss standard double AR (not aftermarket AR).

I would go with txcollector's crystal, as I believe they are ready to ship straight away

mmhh... I was looking 2geek site and he's offering the HBB crystal for US$37!!

My only concern is whether the crystal is sapphire or not.

Ive jumped on the "TX HBB crystal" bandwagon.......Having considered the 2Geek Vs TX I'd say the TX has the upper hand.....

Way to bump an old thread... definitely get TX's crystal while you can. It's amazing!
