Guest Sql_pl Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Angus just had it listed on his site: First I got really excited! I want to get a full ceramic HBB but all pieces that have been released so far have some flaws. All Blacks have wrong datewheel and I am not sure if markers and hand are appropriately black. Ice Bang is very close but has a PVD coated bezel that is not made of the material used in gen. The closest one is probably a Black Magic but it is somehow very boring with the plin dial from SS model. And now it is this Gstaad! All materials just like they should be. Then I found this pic: Gen watch in the above pic has skeleton hands with no lume and ribbed strap that we do not have repped as of yet. Dang. But after some more research it turned out it really is true about Hublot and their unbelievable inconsistency when it comes to their models. Look at these gen pics: Not only lumed hands but also regular smooth rubber strap! So this rep is really VERY very good. Last thing is the caseback. Rep is using regular ceramic caseback while I am afraid this one should have a different one as it was limited to 250 pieces.... will try to find a pic of gen casebck and post here. Anyway I need to say this watch is really tempting for me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwhitesox Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 The datewheel looks almost too good on the top photo...Very nice looking watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dario33 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Very sharp watch -- may have to pull the trigger on my first Hublot too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veyron Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Think last one is a concept model. Also dial is not good, colors of lettering is different than rep. never will be a perfect rep I guess with HBB if it's a special model. These models are based on pictures not with a gen in the hands of the maker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redemption Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Couldn't find this at the site, could you please post the url? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4jure Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Couldn't find this at the site, could you please post the url? thanks Here ya go: http://www.puretimewatch.com/index.php?productID=717 On the topic of accuracy, I noticed the dial colour on the gen is different than rep. Whereas the rep has the whole dial (including the Gstaad logo) in the same shade, the gen has the logo in a notably brighter color tone than the rest of the dial. Quite a big tell really.
