om3ga_guy Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Hey guys, picked up this Hublot v6.5 with upgraded Mikey Ti screws set from a good member on the RG forum. My brief observations: Flawless colourless xtal and a well worn gummy. Nice and smooth. Really makes me think twice about swapping it to a Donerix strap. And gen for comparison Checklist: -Colourless AR - chek -Ti screws - chek -4 tick subdial @ 6 o'clock - chek -Smooth outter bezel rim - chek -Movement engravings - chek -Recessed date disc - chek And two details I was surprised to see are: 1. Brushed hands and hour indexes - chek Rep... 2. Textured subdial! - chek Rep... Gen...for comparison...

Legend Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Beautiful watch, congrats! One thing I learnt recently from my friend Martijn (@Martijn), is that some of the genuine Big Bang DO have 4 subdivision markers on the 6o'clock subdial instead of 3. I have always thought that the 4 markers on the rep subdial@6 is a tell, but I was wrong. I have since also seen 2-3 genuine big bangs with 4 subdivision markers on that subdial. I guess we all learn something new everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Your absolutely right. The 4 tick subdial is accurate. Predominantly on the steel bezel model. Some more examples... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thank you kindly. To be honest, I like the look of the subdial with 4 markers instead of 3. I have seen this subdial type on a genuine carbon fiber dial (ceramic casing) too. For a long time, the guys on the forums, including me, always used this as a tell that a Big Bang is rep. I was really glad when I learnt that it is not the case. However, I still do not know which Big Bangs have the 3 or 4 subdial markers.. It could be from a batch, or specific to some models. The number of similar Big Bang models produced by Hublot makes it difficult to track this. I am no Hublot expert though. Perhaps someone with more knowledge from me would care to chime in.

I must remember how lucky we are with the quality of our reps and this post confirms that's That's true mate! And the Hublot V6 or higher reps are so close to gen. I think it's the most accurate rep on the market these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
