HeadToucha Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Ok guys, i know you have seen a lot of new 005 pictures this days but i received it this morning ans all i can say is...Wooohh ! I still own a 005G fully modded (see in my sig) and side by side, well the 005G looks like....a rep ^^ Seraphe has posted beautifull pictures of the new 005k so i wanted to show you just few details who make this new rep a keeper. First an overall view, no much things to say on the dial, i have waited a long time for a perfect logo & now i have it. I'm sure there's some small flaws about the letters or the placement of something etc... but to me it's verry, verry good. Then the cg + crown, the space between the crown and the case is not a major issue IMHO and on my wrist i can see a little bit of the hex tube. The cg has a perfect fit with the case, not a small gap & the overall finish of it is pretty amazing, nicely brushed & the pin is polished. The crown is perfectly center with the cg and i have a nice gen click when the lever meet the crown.And the fact that it's springloaded me like it! Again a nice gen feeling when you open/close the lever. Like Seraphe said in his review the lever is a little bit floppy, but on mine it's hard to desengage the lever, the lever is floppy just when it is fully open, it moves a little bit from up to down but not floppy from left to right. Compared to my Toro cg honesty i definitely prefer this one & the roller ball is a "plus". And the two other major improvements of the Hublot factory are of course the AR & the lume. For the AR i believe it's single sided like the gen, on my 005G FineDD made me a double sided & in comparison i still can't decide which one i prefer, may be the double for now but after few days in the sun i will make my mind. But of course no blue reflection, it's just the dial appears less black with single sided. For the lume, again...Wohhhh! It's a torch, i will see tonight & tomorrow morning the last of this lume but for now the intensity is verry good. The lume shot: The wristie: And the two in one ^^: The conclusion is obvious to me: it is definitely a keeper, no mods needed for now, maybe a serviced hi beat A6497, make the lever less floppy ? In fact i didn't open the caseback so for the low beat movement it's what the rumors said about it. Thanks for reading it & comments are welcome, now i'm gonna enjoy this baby for the rest of the day, cheers all !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraphe Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Very nice, isn't it? You're lucky you got a better CG lever than mine. It's more flushed into the CG body than mine. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmurphy926 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 She's a beaut HT! Mine is in the air right now between China and SF. Should reach me late this week or early next. That certainly is a nice and flush CG, but don't worry seraphe, a lot of gens don't have flush CGs. Here are 2 different gen 005s. One has a lever slight proud of the CG and the other is slightly shallower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
