Hello guys so here are a comparison between the Quartz and the Automatic version. First of all english is not my motherlanguage so apologize for grammatical or spelling errors.

Thanks to Sead (Quartz) and Nembo (Automatic) for both watches and a special thanks to @iPwnage for the help! :)

Introduction:
First of all the replica is not a "super" rep but a good rep for the little buck. The price range is 130-170 USD so don't think you get the quality of an 350-400 US rep. The Quartz is from an unknown Factory and the Automatic is from J-Factory. My Automatic version comes with a black strap the normal version TDs can order is with brown strap.

Quartz Specs:
Unknown


Automatic Specs:
Hublot Big Bang Sang Bleu - Tattoo Inspired Limited Edition

MOVEMENT: Asia 23J Automatic Movement, Decorated movement with Perforated Rotor
CASE DIAMETER: 45mm
THICKNESS: 15mm
DIAL COLOR: Black Dial with decorative tattoo inspired design on the Hour & Minutes moving plates
CASE MATERIAL: Solid Stainless Steel 316L
BRACELET: Leather clad rubber Strap with Deployant Buckle
FRONT GLASS: Synthetic Sapphire Crystal
CASE BACK: Display case back with detailed engraving
BEZEL: Brushed Solid Stainless Steel Bezel
HACK MOVEMENT: Yes
CLASP TYPE: Deployant Buckle
DATE INDICATOR:

The watch is available in Stainless Steel, Rose Gold and Black.


Quartz: Brown Strap with brown minute markers.

Automatic: Black Strap with white minute markers.

Pictures are uncompressed for the best quality.

Both watches side by side:

So as you can see they look identical both have flaws but okay for the money :)

The Dial/Frontside:

Automatic:


The Backside:

The Strap:

So both straps are not bad but nothing near gen.


The Clasp:

Automatic:



Big difference here the Quartz clasp has a polished finish, the Automatic one is "mate".

Conclusion:
Both are very good reps and i really like them both sure its not a "super" rep but who cares really it looks fantastic on the wrist :) and the only rep that exist from that particular watch. It looks really magical on the wrist.

Apologize i fixxed the white color "Automatic" writing because it was not visible in Tapatalk (because of the white Background) and i fixxed the clasp text because the Quartz is high polished and the Automatic has a mate finish. I wrote it completely wrong sorry for that.

From another dealer, not from the forum.

Upon receiving it I put this grey Donerix strap on it... Not too shabby :)

Looks good, indeed. I'm waiting for mine, and after that, thinking what strap will combine better.

One of the few Hublot's that really got my attention. Toying with the idea of getting one or a super rep Big Bang.. got some more reading to do before I pull the trigger.

Thx guys. I like it but definitely this has its shortcomings. If they make a half-decent rep I'll definitely get one.

Has anyone received there gold one? I'm halfway through ordering but having second thoughts. The gens seem to be so much more shiny and polished than the reps
