Does Hublot offer gen replacement bezels....

[Guest]

My boss saw that I replaced my rg bezel with the ceramic black one and he asked me how I got it.....We both have the same watches,mine is a rep though.... ;-)

So can he just go through hublot to get another style bezel?

[Watchmeister]

I assume your boss knows it is a rep. If he doesn't I would like to congratulate you for having brass balls. He is going to have to ask though.

haha nice story wondering how he reacts when you tell him it's a replica

[supermanx]

They do, or did last year... But its VERY expensive and and extremely long wait.

there are some delaers who claim they have OEM bezels for the bb, I thought oem meant that it was original. am I not correct? if not, what does oem mean?

[geo1nah2a]

I think they only do replacements and it costs around 1000euro. I doubt they will give a bezel without some proof of owning a genuine BB, with the specific bezel too. Still, a lot Gen owners know about our 'after market' bezels, so You could explain to him that You did it in this way.

Regarding the 'OEM', I have no idea if all of the ceramic bezels are trully OEM, a production overrun, or 'according to OEM specs', what I can tell You and You know it already, they are really impressive I think You should do some explaining (need to know basis..no forum-reps etc) to your boss and order a bezel for him too

I think its a lie that ANY replica came with genuine Hublot OEM bezels.

They just use this lie to charge 1000$ for the watch.

I agree.

But If the rep ceramic bezel fits the gen, probably some can confirm that, then you can tell him than it

First run ceramic HBBs are rumored to have gen Kyocera bezels.

Then this would really show the greed....

The first run ceramic HBBs (with the so-called genuine) were around $600-700, and now they are $1000 and up and now without genuine bezels? Is that not just pure greed for what is now an inferior product?

First run ceramic HBBs are rumored to have gen Kyocera bezels.

I find this rumor HIGHLY suspect... kyocera could not meet hublot's demand at the time the rep came out and was on the verge of losing their very lucrative contract with Hublot.

[donpedro]

I agree to - it's mostly likely a planted rumor to add to the "myth" of the first run hbb's

Edit: Nevertheless, the quality of these bezels are impeccable, so it doesn't really matter. $1000 for a "OEM" bezel wouldn't surprise me at all - pretty nice margins for Hublot, one would assume!

it seems to me you should ask your boss what style bezel he wants and then go and get the rep that has that bezel style.... then take off the bezel and give it to him as gift!!

he will be very grateful!! ;-)

[Samurai]

Good idea....gift it to him.....tell him you paid some [censored] loads of money for it and had to massage some egos to get it.......then ask for a raise
