bingoofsweden Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I'm searching high and low for the Hublot Big Bang King Ice Bang (rep), but can't find it. Any ideas on where to find it...except the real deal. Only version available seems to have the red second hand and red second markings on the dial. Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bingoofsweden Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 It's usually the Hublot Big Bang King Palladium (as seen in picture) that's being referred to. So if anyone have a clue where I might find the Ice Bang please let me know...just love the way it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like you, I absolutely love the Ice Bang King, so here is what I did: 1) I ordered this one from PWC (aka Robert), 2) stripped off the white lume from the hands, 3) stripped off the red paint from the seconds hand, 4) applied a mix of clear nail polish and graphite powder to the hands. Note, however, the case is not ceramic as the gen is. And the version from PWC in particular has an innacurate crown (irrelevant IMO).

bingoofsweden Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Nice Do you have any pictures of the modification? Was it difficult? Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroAvia Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Nice Do you have any pictures of the modification? Was it difficult? Thanx I probably have pictures, I'll check. No particular difficulty is to be expected, unless you have never dealt with removing hands before. Oh, wait, there is the effing keyless works difficulty, so to speak. This is a hit and miss, however; you may experience it or not, regardless of how careful you are when removing/inserting the stem back into position.

bingoofsweden Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Sounds like a project i wouldn't dare to embark on....as I'm not that skilled watchmaker But would love to see the before and after pictures so I can make a judgement on buying the watch in the first place....
