kimerathon1 Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I don't post here often, but most of you know me very well, as the resident Hublot expert form RG, and the Hublot Mod from WC, so I will share some info with you as well!!! Ok guys, it is no secret I helped with the creation of some of the new models, this is the V5 Factory, they are Highbeats Full ceramic sand blasted finished and Great attention to detail. Just for teaser purposes, I have to let you know that Josh is personally QC'ing the watches, and he is taking pictures of the watch he is going to send before he sends them (for those who thought he is a dropshipper). Anyway, this watch has the highest standards in quality and we can say almost flawless, the movement has improved with silver screws and just the center bearing screw being black. big improvement, I shall make a Formal Review once it is here, but for now, you have to wait a week!!! Without further a due, I give you, the Bode Miller Bang! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just because Josh says he personally will be checking all of "THESE" hbb's doesn't mean he checks every watch he sends. Josh is too big anyways NOT to dropship. He sells more watches in a week than many others probably sell in a month. He's an amazing dealer, but let's not open the can of worms on whether or not he dropships!

OSRep Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hi Kimera! Thanks for posting and sharing this great info! The watch looks great (even better if it has your stamp of approval). Is the vase/bezel bead blasted? Are there going to be variations i.e. different dial colours? Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jos Nana Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 looks great.

Thank you for your compliments... But I need to stress time and again .. I DO NOT DROPSHIP. I have brought in a couple of guys to help with the operation.. For every watch order.. Yes.. Every order... Pics of the actual watch to be sent will be taken with calibration /waterproofing tested. Approval from client need to be given before they are sent out. You deal exclusively still with me.. There will no Lucy , Sucy or Mary for you to contact. Personalize approach from yours truly will still be and always maintained. Many have already been receiving my QC pics since last week. Thanks Joshua www.1-pc8838.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossanti Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 if the movement have the regulator like the gen ? why they cant even fix the sunken DW ?? so it will make a perfect HBB for us ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never heard of you sending qc photos before shipping the watch, and don't recall you doing so in the past. Is this a new practice? In any case, I apologize for painting your methods to be something they're not. I recognize and accept that you're one of the most reputable dealers on this forum, and that says alot by itself, regardless of whether or not you have drop shipped in the past, present or future! Keep up the good work Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jos Nana Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 if the movement have the regulator like the gen ? why they cant even fix the sunken DW ?? so it will make a perfect HBB for us ! Gen Big Bang (44mm) datewheel is also sunken... this is the reason why everyone is obessed with this watch from the beginning .. you can see the sunken gap even on the genuine.. ! and the genuine movt these days does not have a regulator these days !!

Watchmeister Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Very exciting. I will have to take a look when I get in front of a real computer. But Kudos to all involved for making the effort to come out with an improved line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimerathon1 Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Yes, the DW is sunken on Gen as well, you see Gen HBB's use a Modified ETA 7750 with a Gerard Depraz Compax Module, that is the only modded part, but in essence it is still an ETA 7750 not 7753 like many think, this will be an amazing watch and you will all see once it arrives next week!!!!! Thanks for valuing my opinion, it is great to be recognized here at RWG as well!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Thanks for the update on this, good to see sellers getting more involved Hope to see some Senna Editions out soon or some all black. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynimrod Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Thanks for the update on this, good to see sellers getting more involved Hope to see some Senna Editions out soon or some all black. Cheers Ice Bang for me. I wonder why, after all the effort to "get it right" they use a black rotor screw???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossanti Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Ok i take ur word on the sunken bit but will do more research soon. The watch look cool. Did u guys bought the gen to do the replication or just from marketing pictures? So the case is totally ceramic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossanti Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 They r using the black screw in the middle just to make sure all the people still have to mod their watch. Lol. So more money and time to spend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaPOFL Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 can't wait for some real nice pics from kimerathon nxt week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Ok i take ur word on the sunken bit but will do more research soon. The Gens have sunken DW's, as tried on many at the Hublot Boutique in Warsaw. Other high end Swiss brands do the same thing that HBB does. Graham of London, etc. all use the ETA7750 with module to move the 12 sub-dial. Thus they suffer from the Sunken DW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimerathon1 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) Exactly well put, the case is full ceramic!!! And Matte looking sand blasted ceramic, which is why te former models were not accurate, this isthe case that can beused for the Senna 2, the Maradonna, the all black II and the Ice Bangand the black magic EVO!

mossanti Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 So KIM do u know if they will produce the Maradonna? how about the link strap for All Black 2? Cant wait to see more pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimerathon1 Posted August 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Link strap you mean the Ceramic Bracelet right? Not initially, it will come out in smooth rubber, and the bracelet will come after sometime this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatInTheHat Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Ok you guys just made me fall in love with Hublot. Can anyone tell me the differences between this one and one of the cheaper version: http://www.1-pc8838.com/hbsp10006-bang-bode-bang-limited-ssoff-white-a7750-p-8602.html I much prefer the one in the link and its cheaper but would I be making a big mistake not purchasing the one in the OP?

raptor Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 To bad the signature is on the dial and not on the crystal like the gen Thats a huge mistake according to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefcook Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 The genuines without regulator have a different bridge design under the rotor. So: Put a regulator on it or fabricate custom bridges like for some panerais before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimerathon1 Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Just received this baby last night, I will have the review done by tonight!!!
