TomRiddle Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Does the color of the face match the color of the rest of the watch, or is it a different shade? matches it's an interesting piece.. because it's like wearing a nice big ole chunk of gold on your wrist and it's obviously PRICEY.. but at the same time not so in your face bling'd out because of the matte effect it's definitely a conversation piece once worn, people will be curious about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangers158 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Colour of the dial still seems a little off. Gen is more rose gold. But still, it looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still, it looks great. it's rose gold lighting effect perhaps? but yea, like i said, it's like wearing a big chunk o sexy gold on your wrist ... the matte effect makes it VERY interesting because it's not "bling" but at the same time the $$$ is undeniable i jus wish i could wear it .. but right now, can't wear it for work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 It is something different... one of the nicest Hublots IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangers158 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) Here is the Gen. It has more red colour tone in the dial. Seen the real thing at the AD and the shade is the same as the picture. The mat look certainly make it more wearable if you are working and not a rich loafer.

MADRED7 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) As stated before: the case is red (or rose) gold matt finish and the dial is just gold....so there is deffo a difference from case to dial in the gold-colors.

TomRiddle Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Mine arrived yesterday. I'll take some pictures tonight. If they come out good i'll post them as well what you think of the watch overall? I think it has a very curious effect.. the priceyness is undeniable *BUT* at the same time it is the most casual due to the matte finish it ain't "blingy" it's... probably the closest example I have ever seen of "Subtle Bling" i thought it very interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvn Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 It liked it a lot. It doesn't look that bad on the wrist compare with the blingy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc savage Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 @ Tom Riddle, the HBB screw driver is a must for HBB owners. I picked up one from Trusty, and it brings peace of mind for 20 bucks. When I first used it, there were a couple of loose ones that would have fallen out in time, so be sure to get one, and to all HBB owners do the same as it will surely spare you agravation down the road. I don't know why the factories will not tighten the screws properly, but it is an issue that all of us should pay heed to. I was thinking; I bet you could zap a normal flat screwdriver with the cutting wheel on a Dremel tool and have a homemade H screwdriver, if you didn't order one along with your watch. I would be afraid to wear one of these without checking the screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvn Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Here is my pair of HBB (Ice bang and gold mat) (I have 1 H screw driver that i won't be used) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRiddle Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 great shots dvn seriously.. the gold matte HBB is a killa piece! makes me so sad i have no avenue to wear it except for when going out/etc .. and even then, only when i'm driving not taking the bus/subway in nyc.. -sigh- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvn Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I am still longing for the rosegold and ceramic bezel like yours Tom. But at the price that they asked i won't be able to afford it. I hope someone pull the trigger on the cheaper one which made by the second maker adn share their opion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope someone pull the trigger on the cheaper one which made by the second maker adn share their opion. yea i know what the HBBRGPC commands.. it's mainly due to the genuine polished ceramic bezel and 1:1 dimensions that it's so ridiculous although i have to say i'm sure we all got the email about these matte hbb's from "the best hublot maker' i think we all know what i'm talkin about.. if you're part of tt's list you got this email recently but i do agree with it.. these matte hbb's are not from the 2nd HBB replica maker the main giveaway are the screw-down crown these are push-down crowns and finishing-wise it's so obvious that it's from that infamous "1st factory" that Mr. JCB is so fond of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Just a side-note....the real deal does come with push down crown as well! Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
