Hublot Black Ice (finished)

[mt666tm]

This was definitely a bit out of my league, it has taken the better part of my day and it has been very frustrating, but it's done save for a bit of cleaning.

Ice Bang with 2geeks date wheel, 2geeks crystal, ETA rotor, faux-regulator, Black brushed ceramic bezel, and a textured rubber strap because I like it better

And a big thanks to ' jmb ' for the hookup with the hand-pressing tools. They are amazing!

Wow, what a beauty!! That is great work, congrats! By the way, if you're selling the original V1 Ice bang bezel, i'm buying.

Looks great!

How much higher does the new crystal sit?

Thanks

How much higher does the new crystal sit?

This crystal sits about 1/2 of a mm higher, so not that much, but it does have a beveled top edge so it 'appears' to be higher and the edge catches light more like the gen.

I think the TX crystal would be the best, but i'm on the backup-list for that so i figured i'd try this one out in the meantime. the AR is amazing!

Very nice - I am digging this. Can you give a picture of a two numeral date like 18 or something. I want to see what the date looks like that way. The two bangs dw is supposed to have a larger second numeral like the gen. Also can you provide a link and dealer where you bought this one?

Can you give a picture of a two numeral date like 18 or something. ...

This is the best i can do for now cuz i can't find my camera, which is a typical problem for me along with my keys and wallet. Anyhoo, the 2nd numeral is larger, you can see it in the pic where i lay down the tricompax gears as well.

M,

let me know when you get the crystal installed. I'm curious to see how they compare.

[mt666tm]

I'm actually thinking of putting your crystal into another HBB cuz I already have the other parts to mod one. Just trying to decide which one to pull the trigger on, black magic or all-black. hmmm...
