“Official Thread†HBB V6 Evolution – Compilation of data (pics)

[nige76]

Looks great, hopefully mine arriving any day now
Will post pics on arrival

 

[replikmaster]

Anyone who already own a V6, the crown and pushers inserts are made of plastic or rubber?! Not that this will keep away from it, I'm just curious about it...
Thanks!

OK,
My new favourite watch is here (Thanks Angus!). I'll include a poor picture to contribute, but there are far better examples in this thread already! (The mark next to the H is just external dust I had not noticed when taking the pic). Before it arrived I started worrying about the quality of the cut of the sub dials, but to be honest in the flesh it looks great. Even looking at this pic I start questioning it, then I look at the watch in my hand and it looks fine!!!
Anyway my poor photographic effort below!
My only issues :-
1) the rubber strap....it's good but the notches are either a little too tight or a little too loose on my wrist. Not sure the best way to solve that. Edit: It kind of fits ok as strap is...could be a little tighter to reduce a bit of flare maybe.
2) I have loctite and a Hublot screwdriver as I was going to remove the bezel screws to apply some loctite (I understand this is recommended) ....but I'm scared in case I break something! I tightened them (not too hard) They seem secure enough.
Thanks
P.S. I know some concerns were raised about the clasp being uncomfortable....I have to say even with my smallish wrist it is very comfortable! Not sure why people had issue with it or perhaps the issue was with an earlier version.

Many thanks Phil for your kind cooperation
Congrats for this awesome watch!!
You CF dial pic are fantastic
I think it will be useful for all intersted people

Be careful about the Loctite
Assure Loctite222ms. Read posts #111-112-117-118 about that

Here are a couple taken from iPhone in natural light just a few min back:

i dont think the seconds hand is purchasable on its own right.?

 

[crazyfastbeats]

I have a v6 ss/ceramic on the way, but I must say I am a bit worried from the numerous factory QC cases, such as the H-screws magically falling off after a day's wear and the rotors coming loose. Knock on wood, all of my reps are still running perfect after a year, and my HBB lite is still running like a champ with no loose screws.

i dont think the seconds hand is purchasable on its own right.?

I'm not sure either. Would it be a direct fit on the rep anyway?

It's probably not worth changing unless you're opening the case up anyway.

Curious combinations HBB- Approximate Look Black Magic V6 Evo-by Chrissej

Very curious combinations from Chrissej
Changing, bezels, dials, movements…

From the four reps you can see at the last picture:
1- HBB Black Magic old model
2- HBB All black old model
3- HBB Ice Bang 2009 batten V5
4- HBB V6 SS/Black Ceramic

You can see below the approximate look of the future Black Magic V6 Evo !!

For those not hanging at RG aswell

And with other bezel options

And some random shots

I think it is no worth any hand change, the difference is relatively great but it is not noticeable at natural size

Thanks Ale...Loctite 222 already in stock and ready to apply

Delighted with the SS/CF....so much so I had to contribute some £££ to RWI without whom it would not be possible! I encourage everyone who buys a watch from info here to do the same if they have not already.

I'm very happy due to the forum and this thread can help you
Good idea to become VIP I did the same for the same reasons.

i might send it for a lume job.. still considering.. if i do, i wld source e e hands as well..

I think it is no worth any hand change, the difference is relatively great but it is not noticeable at natural size

no offense, ale.. but i beg to differ.. i've seen on e gen how thin & tapered it is, not to mention e logo curve.. i'd think its pretty obvious..

It is not at all an offense my friend, it is an opinion and we are here to say all we wish.
Anyway, I had posted:

FLAWS IN SECOND HAND of HBB V6
- The second hand of REP is wider and its “H†is wider too and has more rounded edges.
- Besides the “S†form that is crossing the “H†is less open in the replica and seems more inclined.

I think it is no worth any hand change, the difference is relatively great but it is not noticeable at natural size

Then, I agree about the flaws and their importance

Therefore, after that it is a taste question.

For you are important, Thus OK, change it

I can live with this, Thus OK, I will not change it

GEN PICS HBB V6 RG/Black ceramic - by lacosta

Lacosta has taken these good pics of a GEN RG/Black Ceramic

COMMENTS


ATTENTION: The first pic. Is a REP RG/RG from samurai jack to compare

-The GEN seems an old model because it has the movement without regulator and without circular bridges

-Please note the very fine brushing of the GEN bezel (It seems finer than reps)
-You can also see the crystal raised at two pics, it seems no very different than reps.

- Concerning RG GEN colour, there are differences between pics, more or less “yellowish”
Anyway this colour seems more rose than the rep
colour.

Thanks lacosta for these fantastic and useful pics

Screws and Pushers

A word of warning....the screws being lost if loose has been mentioned, but I read elsewhere that the rubber pusher should be checked in case they need some glue?

Mine seem firmly attached so maybe not an issue with V6? I am reluctant to force them off to apply glue that may not be needed. But i thought it worth a mention.

Yes this happened to me - when I received my HBB lite (v1.5) I wore it round the house and the pusher rubber fell off, luckily found it but if I'd had been outside it would have probably be lost. Not sure how easy they are to source

 

[na9er]

Any news for V6 Ice Bang and Black Magic ?
