It is another maker which makes this watch for Puretime
Angus has said it is not V6 but the circular bridges are copying V6 decoration.
It is not exactly as V7 because the movement copies V6 one.
IMO it is a false alarm because the watch, although is real carbon fiber has other noticeable flaws

Sorry
ALE

Sorry for being slow, but i still dont know what watch you are refering to.
Is it my hbb thats not a v6 (The One in The box) or do you mean The One you linked?

Sorry Zolach
As above said was my mistake
I'm referring to the post put by myself.
The HBB Carbon Fiber is not V6 and has Low beat movement

Your watch is a V6 seeing the crystal, because we cannot see the movement

Sorry for the troubles

No worries mate!

My misstake. When i read it in retrospect Its pretty clear that you are refering to The other watch.
Im pretty new here and to this hobby and have spent alot of time doing research and after quite some reading and studying i decided on a hbb v6.

But I don't have there watchsmith skills.. I plan a simple bezel swap...

To do so, I'd like to be sure that :

http://puretime.co/product/big-bang-skeleton-tourbillon-ss-ceramic-bezel-on-black-rubber-strap/

and

http://puretime.co/category/hublot-accessories/ (white brushed version)

Are compatible, and will match color

I'm also looking for a compatible SS caseback to complete it...

ps: I already got the H screwdriver ready 8^)

@bluffer843: is this a real carbon dial?

Yes V6 has real CF dial the same as gen new models
Old models of Hublot BB (before 2009, with numerals) had plastic textured dial CF-like in rep and gen watches

V6 Ice Bang with Real Tungsten Bezel...?

Hi,
I haven't gone through all of the 150 pages of this thread, but it's full of information...

Does anyone know if the Ice Bang II being sold by TSwatch (trusted seller) has a real Tungsten Bezel...?

http://tswatchltd.com/8055-hb2420-hublot-ice-bang-ii-black-dial-cer-tung-ru-asian-7750-28800bph.html

I asked through their online chat, but the person on the other side couldn't confirm me the information...

The pix looks amazing and really really close to Gen... too bad there is no pic in the dark...

Above mentioned watch Ice bang features real Tungsten bezel following indications of dealer but it is not a V6 is a V7 with different movement.

Before you ask me the question, I will answer you:
V6 is better than V7

Why? -> Read this thread

Haha!!!
No worries, I wasn't gonna ask you, I've read lots of page from this thread and I saw you repeated so many times the same answers on many questions...! ;)

Thanx for the clarification on the watch...!

I guess I'm not gonna choose the Ice Bang but I think I'm gonna go with the Steel Ceramic... It's too bad, I love the Ice Bang so much, but it seems so hard to find a good rep...

Anyway, my last question is :

I do have a very skinny wrist (yeah I know HBB are huge) but still want one... :D
Is it common to ask a TD to have the strap with more holes and to have it cut a bit properly? OR is it something I could easily do myself without damaging the strap and clasp on an HBB...?

For this black rubber strap :

Ask the TD mate.. They know just as well as any other. Just tell them your wrist size and ask if it will fit. If not take it to any belt/watchmaker and ask them to do it

Dealer will not make this work for you
The HBB strap has many holews and fit very small wrists.
It is very easy make more holes in the rubber strap you need a piece of wood as base, a little hammer and a special tool to be bought in a hardware shop. I don't know the English name, maybe "puncher". In Spanish is "'sacabocados"
Just assure to buy the correct diameter.

ALE

BTW you new choice is perfect. You will not be disappointed this was my first HBB. Awesome !!

Thanx ALE for the nice words, and your continuous help on this thread... I will trust your judgement and will try first with the original holes, and if I need more, I will buy a puncher...

It seems that the latest V6 HBB Steel Ceramic are pretty nice made and some came (luckily) with a colorless AR (cf. Leewei's latest thread in the forum)... So I hope I'll get one of these...

Just watching the pix makes me want to own one just for the beauty of it... :)

Just out of curiosity, which HBB do you actually own? :)

You are welcome
Many thanks for your kind words

Now I'm buying many PAMs I have stopped HBB purchases
I need PAMs to study quality and making reviews
My current HBBs are:

HBB V1 – SS/Black ceramic (maybe my preferred)
HBB V6 – SS/SS
HBB V6 – SS/Black ceramic Sticks
HBB V6 – SS/Black ceramic Numerals (just to be sold to a friend)
HBB V6 – Black Magic Sticks
HBB V1.5- Ice Bang
HBB V1.5- Black Magic numerals
HBB SS/RG Classic Fusion
