Damn, I was considering getting the non carbon fibre version which comes with the regular black strap as opposed to the gummy strap simply due to reviews saying it feels heaps better, do you think that would be true because I don't have the budget to spend an extra 4-600 on a gen strap

There is a seller on ebay who sells a rep strap that is far superior to the included strap. If you use the search function, you will find it easily.

Post some pics of the strap and the buckle buddy!

Cheers!

Hey miyagi-san,

I just posted some pics in another thread with a little comparison of gen and rep :)

Watch looks fantastic. I'm about to pull the trigger on this one....can you please confirm if the chronograph is fully functional. Many thanks :)

Thanks man !! :)
The chronograph works, BUT be carefully with it ! I would not recommend to use it frequently. Using the chronograph can damage your watch. You can be lucky and nothing happens but possible problems could be that the second hand or the small hands don't reset in the right position anymore.

You can service your watch and get the movement clean. There is a watchsmith mentioned in a previous thread who gives a warranty on the movement functions after his service.

I can highly recommend this watch, you will be happy with it even when don't using the chrono !! You won't regret the purchase !! This thing is awesome, even more in real life on your wrist ! Go for it :)

I would not try to take it into water, some drops are okey but for swimming it is too risky I think :)

Yeah I would say they are both super reps :)

Did you by any chance see or have done a review of this rep vs. gen? I am trying to figure out what the differences are? One obvious one that I noticed is that gen doesn't say "Geneve" on it... So not sure how this could be a super rep? Perhaps in some older versions they had "Geneva"?

Here you can see my franken review :) https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...hublot-big-bang-steel-ceramic-franken-project
I installed gen dial an gen clasp, you see on the clasp that it is a newer clasp because they left the "geneve" :) on my gen dial it also has the "geneve" printed, on some newer dials they also left the "geneve" print :)

Hublot1704 thank you this is helpful!! I wish there also was some direct gen vs rep comparison like for so many AP models that forum members here have. I guess I have to save up, buy a gen, and then do a comparing myself! P.S. great looking watch you have ! :)
