Mickey Padge Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I have had this watch a while, just never photographed it. I sent it to Domi for a rotor and regulator mod (fantastic work as always!), and more recently I upgraded the bezel to a polished ceramic bezel, as well as changing all the H screws (old ones were a bit rough) I know it's not accurate to genuine, but I just wanted a full ceramic Hublot watch with the ICE dial and hands Here are the pictures! Click to expand Please excuse the pictures, I took them without natural daylight, had to tweak them a bit too! What do you guys think? This uses a high beat 7750, runs smooth and accurate. The strap is smooth rubber with a nice vanilla smell. The crystal is not from the 1st factory, but another factory, it has better AR than the first factory, not light blue, but a deeper blue/purple, it's very effective!

I wanted an all black, but one where I could actually read the time, so the ICE dial was the best choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kronos twin Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 It's a fantastic watch. I would like a mat platinum Hublot. I like them when they have one color scheme for some reason. Great job, man. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Yeah, I like the plat mat HBB's too, I really hope the come out with a bead blasted ceramic case Hublot, that would be the ultimate scratch proof mat Hublot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anics Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Nice piece. I did exactly the same thing. Ice bang with a spare polished ceramic bezel. Looks great. Hublot made a limited run of a piece called the Black Ice bang. They apparently made only 30 pieces for the Japanese market. Excuse the massive link but you can view it below. Also if you google Black Ice Bang it gets a few hits. Mostly in Japanese though. How's your PVD clasp holding up? Mine scratched on the 1st bloody day! http://www.watchuwant.com/watches/hublot-big-bang-ice-black-chrono-44mm-special-edition-only-30-pieces-new&usg=__eOobGmIEgrt61-54L7E0wcITA6I=&h=480&w=640&sz=134&hl=en&start=3&sig2=xKRN7X5_yGfq32v877UvIg&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=HBgwqQmn113zSM:&tbnh=103&tbnw=137&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dblack%2Bice%2Bbang%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1G1GGLQ_ENES311%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1&ei=AOdzS_KDDIqOjAftncykCg enjoy A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anics Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 No worries Just out of interest, where did you buy your Ice bang from? Cheers A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I picked it up on repgeeks, via member sales, it was not in the best shape, so its had a new dial/hands, bezel and H screws, plus smooth rubber strap! Add the full A7750 regulation/service and rotor/regulator mod, and it is like a totally new watch! The PVD clasp is holding up very well, but then I have developed an automatic reflex to not bang my watches, so they stay in very good shape!
