I put this thread in order to know and share this subject and other interesting things of HBB V6
I think it is very early to know this matter. we must wait for some review of an expert.
We all hope knowing the true asap.

Thanks Ale....I naively thought it would be visible by anyone once they were on sale. My mistake!
Thanks

Let me know how you get on, think I'm going for the SS/CF as well - did you go for rubber strap?

Yes, looked good in AD. May need to change strap and get another myself though, small wrist.

V6 Date window differences! PICS -BY "lacosta"

lacosta has placed a post concerning date windows differences on HBB V6 flat dial and CF dial
http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/v6-date-window-differences-pics-83332?p=815020

I copy below the post and my reply:
Hey guys, I realized that the V6 models have different date windows. Are they made from different factories? The stainless Steel version is much BETTER!! but what about the Carbon Fiber ; (

STAINLESS STEEL V6



CERAMIC /CARBON FIBER V6


ALE7575 REPLY:

Hi lacosta

Very interesting pics. But this problem is normal.

The matter is not the maker, but that the dial is made of different materials:

- SS/SS is a flat dial, very easy to machining and finishing
- SS/ Black ceramic dial is CF (or similar CF) no easy to machining and finishing

Seeing this bad finish of Date Window in CF version of HBB V6, we could think it is made of true CF!!

Even the gen has this issue, please read:
Post #49 in this Thread

I passed by Hublot boutique yesterday and saw the SS/Ceramic CF Dial. I felt that the date window on the gen was not impressively well cut as well.

You can see the gen has this issue too

The gen flat black dial on the ss version has the extra bevelling, the gen carbon dial in the ceramic version doesn't have the extra bevelling.

In short the rep dials are replicated just like the gen counterparts so the above post wasn't researched properly......

Hi HR911
I think, I'm saying the same!
SS/SS flat dial, date window well finished in gen and rep with extra bevelling
SS/B.ceramic CF dial, cut directly w/o extra bevelling, bad finished in gen and in rep.
Gen and rep are the same. So, perhaps the rep dial is on true CF.
What's the difference?
Sorry if my last post was not very clear (translation problems ?)

Whats the difference between the carbon dial on the V6 and genuine. Does anyone have a genuine Evo to compare ; ) ?

The rep dial in the ceramic version iS carbon fibre just like it's gen counterpart.

It's not possible to bevel the date window in the same way with CF that's why the cut out is different.

The Gen date window isnt finished badly, thats just the way it is with CF.

Anyway, there are some great photos of the Ceramic version on RWG.....check it out.

Date Window CF Dial HBB V6 - COMPARISON GEN vs. REP

Date Window CF Dial HBB V6 - COMPARISON GEN vs. REP

As usually in some characteristics of GEN HUBLOT, the GEN Date windows have different versions in CF dials

I have seen at this moment two versions:

- Date window TYPE “A” BIGGER SIZE and with a kind of little extra bevelling (perhaps hand finished)

DATEWINDOWCF-HBBV6-VISTAGENERAL4TYPEA.jpg

GEN DATE WINDOWS TYPE “A”


- Date window TYPE “B” normal size, just cut without extra bevelling

DATEWINDOWCF-HBBV6-GENARAL4-TYPEBcopiar.jpg

GEN DATE WINDOWS TYPE “B”

The version adopted in replicas HBB V6 is the TYPE “B”, normal size, just cut without extra bevelling

Differences
- The GEN is a little more defined and the edges are a bit more straight (seeing enlarged pics)
- The GEN is a little better finished, (seeing enlarged pics)
- Number fonts seem very similar

But, for all practical purposes and at natural size, date window in REP and GEN TYPE “B” are the same

GEN CF DIAL TYPE “B” vs. REP CF DIAL


And you can see below the comparisons GEN vs. REP date window CF dial HBB V6

Below you can see 4 REP CF dials, in order to show the quality and possible differences of REP CF dial Date window.

I hope this post clarify the current situation about date window of CF dials on HBB V6
We remain waiting for news from GEN owners or observers

Switching Straps

I assume a leather gummy strap may be better for the smaller wrist. I was considering ordering rubber & leather straps.

Is the strap easy to switch on the v6?

You must consult some user of gummy straps because I think that some rep gummy are more stiff than rubber straps.

The change of the strap in HBB is very easy, if you have some experience with tools and hand works, but you need an "H" Hublot screwdriver ( from RM about 15-20$ or Puretime 30$)

Didn't have the time to take pictures yesterday, I'll try again when I'm back from work.
