loopy29 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Hi all, Even though the new marinas are stunning, I am still pretty much in love with the flyback, rattrapante, 1950 chrono style. I think it would be real nice to have all info about these new hublot factory versions in one place. Anyone care to contribute? I feel they are gorgeous, but often overlooked because of movement replication issues and the mineral crystal. This post could maybe fill everyone in on e.g. The durability of the mineral crystal, where to find replacement parts, strap combinations, comparisons among each other an with gen etc. And if course many many many pics:):):) Thanks!!!!

subbiesrock Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 The info is all there, judicious use of the 'search' button will reveal all search user 'PeteM' as he has made many direct comparisons and reviews, and has his finger on the pulse on all things PAM.

btocamelo Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Kbiz mentioned that the WSO990 212 sapphire crystal he picked up a while ago was not very good....maybe you can post a review once you get yours....also, if it is sapphire and not mineral.

Yes did that many many time but I thought it would be nice to have one "overall" post for these watches as right now the info is quite dispersed. For those looking for some nice pics and starter info, here are some nice posts: Pete Sells the 253: link Post on the 286: link Post on the 213: link PeteM shows off his 286: link A side by side (by PeteM): link Some QC pics of the 253: link Some more pics of the 212 and 253 (PeteM again, see a pattern? ) link Cheers!

loopy29 Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Actually there is really only one thing holding me back, and that is the durability of the glass... What happens when you scratch it? There are appatently no good replacement parts available.... Anyone care to comment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought the same watch for my father, and the crystal has exploded twice, wich I don´t understand why, cause I changed crystal + case.

loopy29 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Anyone has had scratches on the mineral crystal? Any pics? Or is the crystal holding up really well. I am really in doubt between 286 and 26. Totally different I know, but both sporty I think... On look I am more set on the 286, but I would hate a scratched crystal...
