Just got the SS ceramic delivered. I have to say the quality is bloody mind-blowing. I have had HBBs & KPs since they were launched about 3-4 yrs. back and have about 10 of them as of now. This one surpasses everything I have handled. Gen like feeling. Pics to follow.

Looking forward to seeing the pics! :)

Really in a debate with myself whether or not I should wait and see which other versions of the V6 Evo are going to be released or if I should just go for the SS version before they are sold out for ages haha.

I am still clinging to the hope that they will release Ice Bang models with the new movement.

I have heard before that they can not produce ceramic though, which will be inaccurate (if they use SS).

Please read post #155 of guru
What guru says is:

"but the ceramic case takes a little longer to get done"

Not impossible just longer!!

Hi
Perhaps it is just an excess of green colour at pics
I have corrected them
What about these ones?
I have already corrected them also in post #1

Let me get this straight: the Crystal on the V6, is it supposed to be flush with the bezel or raised?

Gosh! Can't choose between the SS/SS or SS/CER :arghh:

Is it just me or the CF cutting on the subdials and the date appear to be "jagged" and just not neat like the Gen one..

The gen has a slightly raised crystal but so does the rep V6. However the rep crystal is not raised as much as in the gen.

No it's not just you. The cutouts (both subdials and the date window) are not smooth on the CF dial. In some instances the date window edges are still fine but I am yet to see a rep CF V6 dial with smooth cuts on the subdials. For this very reason I'd prefer SS over the Ceramic CF. If the CF dial didn't have such glaring imperfections I'd have bought the CF in a heartbeat.

Hmm, thx for the input. Looks like I'll be ordering the SS from puretime soon. Just to be sure, this has the correct rotor right? So I don't have to order 1 from Tony.

Can anyone recommend a good crystal from 1 of our trusted seller with the correct height?

It has the correct rotor, which is actually very accurate. Maybe the 'Hublot Geneve' font is slightly bolder than it should be but this is a replica after all! It's not very noticeable.

I am waiting for "Ice Bang" and "Black Magic" and I hope that there is "Big Bang Red Magic" and "Big Bang All Black Green"

Even these pictures look off on the tone of rose gold. Again the hands look fine, but something about the color of the case just doesn't look right. Probably the pictures though.

I think it is a pics problem or even a brushing problem
Because I don't believe the maker uses a RG for hands and other for the plated case. It would not be normal
