Hi All,

Been offered this with box and papers.

The warranty card matches the serial on the case.

Is the watch a rep?

The font fir BIG BANG looks well off as does the serial number font spacing. There is a warranty card which backs up things that it may be gen but the card does not work.

Do any of the resident experts recognise the rep?

Looks GEN to me
DW cutoff is accurate, rep v6.5 is terrible. Also the holes for small screws are gen like. Lume very accurate as well.

rotor and plate on the movement are engraved on rep it's painted on rotor and sticker on the movement.
Bezel has correct 4 rows.

Thanks Pallmall. Very considerate response.

Are you concerned with the rear case font BIG BANG being a spaced awkwardly? Ie so near to the screws? All gens online have a larger gap.

Also the serial numbers do not align with each other.

Yes the bezel is 4.5 but looks off compared to gen.

My main concern is the font and font spacing.

Look gen , unless it has been very well modified and the whole process of getting box and papers to match serial number on the case is something I don't think anyone will go through the hassle if it wasn't.

We also know V6.5 doesn't come with that strap and looks like a gen strap even though that also can be changed. A lot of gen parts in that watch so leaning towards gen BUT the best way will be to authenticate at Hublot boutique as you never know these days haha . Good Luck :)

Thanks to all who helped with this. I sent it back as the rear of the case and the spacing was concerning.

Appreciate the help as it may have been a gen! But onto the next one.
