Anyone have an idea?

As we know, the V6 HBB has a 'rep-ish' cote de geneve decoration on the bridge:
The gen's, however, is polished:
Is it possible for the rep bridge to get a treatment of some sort to have a polished look like the gen's?

Hi audace
FIRSTLY: if the bridge has some plated treatment you will remove it if you make some brushing and polishing treatment. Be sure the bridge is not plated or you will be able to get plated after brushing.
If you can disassemble the bridge, you could apply it the same treatment that for a brushed or polished surface.
In this case the problem is the black Hublot and numbers engravings, if they are not deep enough you can erase them when brushing.
I don't know what is the depth of these engravings or if they are painted.
But you can see it if you are interested. If you think that the engravings are deep enough, apply a brushing treatment with several sandpapers of different grain sizes.
You could start from P400 and them P600, after P800 - P1000 - P1200 - P1500 and you can see the effect with each grain size. If you have not polished surface enough you could use 2000 grain.
I think you don't need arrive to the polishing paste, a fine sandpaper would be enough.

To make it please read the following thread, it is the same process:

Sorry, you are right.
I have already corrected the Puretime links. I think Puretime has changed something, because I had just copied and paste the links directly from Puretime catalogue.
Now all are OK.

No guru, unfortunately is not a Black Magic. it is RG/ceramic and SS/ceramic

Hey Guys, I just spent about 15 minutes playing with a gen CF dial black magic. My main concern about the V6 was the quality of the CF. The Cf is spot on!!!! I had the V6 for a month and I would like to offer a standing round of applause for the V6 maker. The rubber and clasp seem quite close as well. On a side, Gen AP ROO looked like reps, not impressed at all.

Has there been any final word on the rose gold quality? Played with the gen RG evo at the AD, its pretty sweet except for the $20K price tag
