fischyyy Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hey guys, I'm looking for my first purchase of 2012 and have selected the Hublot Big Bang Ice Bang with the new circulated bridges. How accurate is this rep and which strap should I choose? Right now I'm leaning towards the Smooth Rubber Strap. http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=8936:33962263d105f424d024038308e4260a What do you think?

Watchmeister Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I always vote for the Gummy croc for Hublots if it is available. It dresses up the watch and no one expects you to swim or shower in a croc strap. And although I don't own it I do know that it uses a titanium bezel rather than tungsten on the gen. The other thing I recall is that the Ice Bang did not come with the newer movement but that may have changed. Obviously wait for someone who owns one to chime in as well. I haven't bought a Hublot since V1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fischyyy Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Thanks! This watch just died for me, I went on the Hublot site and saw that the watch has actual numbers on the dial, not stick markers like the rep. What Hublot rep is a 1:1, I thought the new ones were supposed to be really good. Edited January 2, 2012 by fischyyy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Wait for an expert to weigh in before you kill it. There may have been two versions. Although for me the new version lost interest the minute I learned that the bezel was the incorrect material. If you can't get the basic case material correct - what is the point. But that is my pet peeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fischyyy Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Thanks for the advice. I knew about the wrong material, but the wrong dial just was the last nail in the coffin. I know there are "Evolution" versions with stick markers, but this one does not seem to have one. All you get when you google it is pics of reps with the stick markers. All gens I've seen have numbers. But maybe a Hublot expert could clear this up and recommend the most accurate Hublot available at the moment.

timj Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I have a ice bang evolution with numbers. Only obvious thing I have noticed that's different from the gen is the hands.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
