Hublot Big Bang V6.5 is really a super rep?

Hi,
I'm a noob at Hublot, i own one (Classic Fusion) and love it, but besides that I'm not an Hublot expert.
So I hope i'm wrong, but I think that Hublot Big Bang V6.5 should not be considered as a super rep. To be clear - I don't own a Big Bang V6.5, so please correct me if i'm wrong here.

Case thickness is one of the biggest flaws and a huge tell when it comes to reps. based on TD sites it seems that the thickness of the rep is 16mm and the gen is 14.5mm - this is a big difference (more than 10%!) and it is a tell you can easily spot.

I hope i'm wrong (i found this while considering ordering Big Bang V6.5 :)) and the TD sites are incorrect - please share your info and thoughts.

Thanks!

Believe me it's really super rep. For some of models it's impossible to tell is it fake or not, especially if you have gen strap and buckle. And actual the thickness is 15mm in my case.

Emm... so what is it 15mm or 16mm?
a 0.5mm is acceptable in my opinion.

How do you Hublot experts feel about the sunken date wheel issue?

Can you elaborate?


Generally, 7750s has a sunken datewheel issue if the date wheel is in the 4/5 o’clock position. I like the Big Bang but this is holding me back. How does this compares to gen? Is it too noticeable?

The gen and rep has the same case thickness, and there were some gen models with sunken date wheels FYI. The v6.5 big bangs are super reps in my book along with most PAMs (NWBIG)
(Not into HBBs anymore but it used to interest me)

The lack of water resistance is what kills it for me.

Really...? A Super Rep but not even a water resistant ? I can't call this a Super Rep then, most gens 100/300M . 50M minimum to be a super rep in my opinion.

canariasproducts i think aesthetically, it’s a super rep. Movement is a bit loud. But the assembly is flawed. Most rep divers you can grease and seal to amazing water resistance ratings. Not this. I wouldn’t wash my hands with this rep.
