Hublot Big Bang V6.5 Ceramic or SS

[Rickster1978]

So I’m torn and turn to the fantastic members of this community to assist.

I’ve decided that a Big Bang will be my next watch. I see that the SS is listed in the list of Superreps but also see people mention the Ceramic one as another super rep.

I’ve messaged Ryan at InTime who has assured me that the bezel on the ceramic one has the correct number of teeth in comparison to the original but all original pics I’m seeing have less teeth. Has anyone bought one recently and can you assist.

Its now very much a toss up between these two. Where would your money go

or

Any assistance in narrowing down the choice would be greatly appreciated.

Pick the one you like best, I prefer the ceramic myself.

You can always get an aftermarket bezel if your worried by the teeth

They are both great reps. Some of the best ever made.

You easily switch the bezel like this:

Where did you source the bezel swap?
is that an aftermarket xstal?

This one comes from my HBB RG. I've actually ordered two aftermarket bezels with correct 4.5 rows of teeth from Aliexpress. Haven't received them yet though.

The crystal is stock v6s but they are really great quality. Everything about the V6s BB ouses quality.

I’ve got my QC pics? I’m not sure if I’m ok to share them on the forum or not. Initial thoughts are all good but I would welcome a second opinion if it’s ok to post them

Hi again
Double checked the rules and it seems ok for me to ask specific questions about QC pics so please can I get your opinion on the following. Should I be raising these with the TD or letting them go?

top pic

Is that a fairly obvious blemish on the steel or could it be a shadow or light? Should I ask

middle pic

The circled writing doesn’t seem straight? Am I being too picky?

bottom pic

the engraving on the clasp doesn’t look level to me. What’s your thoughts?

 

[Nensypower]

I don’t know why, but I am indifferent to brands

 

[Taz71]

I may be biased in my opinion, and yes swap the bezel.

 

[Rickster1978]

Any thoughts on the QC pics? Do you think I need to raise the points that I’ve mentioned or am I being overly picky?

You are being picky.

 

[Rickster1978]

Thank you I thought I might be. Can’t wait to get it ordered. I’m got the 4.5 tooth bezel on my radar as well.

These pictures are magnified, you would have never of noticed this stuff with the watch in hand.

Bezels are easily swappable with the screwdriver, don't sweat it. If you reach out to geektime, he may be able to let you buy bezels alone.

 

[Rickster1978]

Thanks. I’m still after the bezel so I’ll see if Geektime can assist.

Hello everyone.

I had the GEN from this amazing watch but I sold it because I needed the funds. I miss it now and am looking to find a rep.

I found it at pure time but it’s been out since 2012. Is there a better version out there?

Any guidance will be appreciated.
