Are the complete movements (V6, 7750 low beat, 7750 high beat, 19j tourbillon) absolutely interchangeable in all casings V1-V7?

Yes, you can even put an eta 7750 in it when you have a watchmaker which can modify it.

The first is a v1, I am stillmwondering if that is still available.
Second is v6, movement is much better then the v1, go for that.

How do they justify the price difference though, i assumed it was to do with the material used on the case but they appear to be the same?

I have the v1 lite, with tx crystal, engraved rotor and original rubber strap. It sits next to my steel v6 with tx crystal, and the v6 does have a greater feel of quality between the two.

Hey guys,

I didn't want to open a new thread for this one question i have.

I have a HBB v6 and i am very happy with it! But today i noticed a difference in the two push buttons for the stopwatch function. The top push button is a bit wobbly? And as you can see it sticks out a little so you can see the edge..

Is this normal? It stil functions properly though..

Thanks :)

EDIT: the bottom pusher is really solid..

yea, thats gonna fall off soon, you're gonna have to open it up and tighten the screw that holds it on there or you're gonna be a sad sad man when it falls off and is missing forever

Oke thanks gonna fix it :) this is all i needed to know :)

EDIT: do i need to remove the movement for this?

EDIT 2: problem solved! I tightened the pusher screw and immediatly took a look at the greasing of the seals. Wouldn't go near water with no proper treatment you guys ;)

ALE, from what you wrote, i was looking at getting a HBB black magic, i would always go for v6 but now i'm wondering.

PT has:

http://www.puretime.co/product/big-bang-black-magic-ceramic-bezel/

and V6

http://www.puretime.co/product/big-bang-44mm-black-magic-ceramic-black-dial-on-black-rubber-strap-hub4104/


What is the massive price gap because of?

Cheers


As guru says there is no reason to buy the V1 because the V6 is better and cheaper.
No material reasons is just other maker and different processes and maybe margins
What is the problem then??
You get better and cheaper, would you like anything more?

Why people make things complicated

They're all the same watch. V6 ice-bang. Not sure why he says H-Factory. Lovely watch, but bezel is inaccurate. Might not bother you.
