Hublot Big Bang King has surfaced

[Dario33]

Was only a matter of time...looks to be quite poor at first glance though.

It seems pretty inaccurate to me. Color, sweep seconds hand don't seem right.

[Dario33]

^ Yep - sweep seconds hand is off as is the pearl. Caseback doesn't seem right either.

Well, as we all know, this is just a crude prototype. Give it a month or two and they'll be improved. I bet this is the 21J movement.

Fugly watch if you ask me.

Fugly watch if you ask me.

Wow, it looks like a Franken project by a particularly mad Panerista. A marriage between a PAM 187, a T3, and do I see a bit of Corum too?

[BobM]

Fugly watch if you ask me.

"fugly" ... ... Wonderfully expressive term! Never heard that before. Hmmm. I learn something new every day on this forum.

[dluddy]

Looks like a "Yacht-Zilla"

[Craytonic]

This is why you don't [censored] your cousin.

[jfreeman420]

Is there really a genuine counterpart to that watch?

[anton]

Apparently there is. Here's one iteration:

Being that it probably uses the Valgranges movement, I'd be darn well upset if it costs as much as the BB Chrono.

[jfreeman420]

I just read the Big Bang king is 48mm. The reps seem to be 43mm. Trusty has one that looks just like the chrono big bang without the chrono, but alas only a fantasy model.

The gen has fake screws on the bezel. WTF were they thinking? Far stretch from the beautiful big bang.

[anton]

This watch is assumedly an alternative to the AP Royal Oak Jumbo, since the Big Bang is the "copy of a copy" of the ROO. But I can't help to think that it looks like a Yacht-Master alternative instead.

[Rxus]

Actually if their is a gen variant with ceramic bezel/SS non chrono a rep would sell pretty well. Not to mention it would be a cost effective alternative for those of us who refuse to pay 800+ for an asian 7750 watch.

Maybe have a ETA version and a lite version much like the UPO both with double sided AR and saphire. Or heck make the lite version have no AR but keep the saphire.

[Dario33]

As per Josh/Andrew, much better version of the HBB King to be released in June.

What stinks is that they'll undoubtedly use the running-chrono-seconds 7750... which... the sweep sucks on. even though there's a closed caseback

[MADRED7]

Where did it surface? C-street?

Honestly....this BigBang is not KING!

Saw a real one today, and it actually looked pretty good.

[rodwc]

I honestly can not find one good thing to say about this "piece".

The faux screw heads actually look tacky.

[DemonSlayer]

I'm not very impressed with this model, I think the HBB looks a lot better than this one. I can definitely see the similarities between this one and the YM, the bezel says it all.

[Blobzor]

Hublot sucks, they are only good at copying others design and then copying themselves to oblivion.

The movements inside the gens are nothing but common movements, but the price tags are still VERY high.

[vric]

I really love my Black Magic, but this ons is blah... And I guess it will be in the same price range as the HBB lite..

Sooo happy, more money in my pocket... til next one

[nmachen]

Looks pretty damn good to me. Check out the pics:

As much as

I admire Biver for turning half-interesting design and plain stock parts into a personal gold mine, I just don't see the Big Bang thing, rep or gen.

[fotoman]

i don't see what the hype is all about
