1st Rep - Hublot King Power

[scottyj11]

I have made my first order with Hont after lots of reading, shopping around and deiciding. I had a little trouble finding what I am after (Hublot King Power All Black), but Hont has assured me he can source it.

I'm now awaiting confirmation, QC and shipment. Very excited. I'll post my feedback and photos when it comes through.

Love the forum!!

the waiting is the best and worst part at the same time

Welcome Scotty, make sure you post lots of pics when you get the watch!

Still waiting to see QC pics. I heard that I would get them yesterday... trying to be patient is so tough!

Don't worry... Hont won't let you down.... he's always busy but will deliver

Congrats on your purchase. Like others commented before me.... be sure to take loads of pics and post them here.

Got my QC pics tonight from Hont. The watch looks amazing... except its not the one I was after

I've had the King Power Black sourced when I ordered the King Power ALL Black. Just got an email from Hont, saying he will source the ALL BLACK, now just more waiting

These pics have tided me over. May as well share them...









What do you think?

hey, nice watch.

The rotor on the back is wrong, and not the updated kind, the king power rotor looks quite different.

28,800 bph movement, so youre good there.
youre not getting the fantasy model with the red on the dial, or the gold one. so youre good there.

if the rotor is not a problem for you, then this is a keeper.

oh and i forgot, there is no split seconds hand.

Whats the deal with the split seconds hand?

So, my King Power ALL BLACK is on the way!

The only issues I have with it are it is the old rotor after specifically asking him to source the upated rotor model.

Also the AR looks a bit blue - would you agree?

I am not sure whether these issues should be a great concern. As mentioned, it my first purchase. I am a little disappointed, but don't know whether it is normal to not get EXACTLY what you expect...

 

[deloreandmc]

its very nice, but I cant wear it know its not a split second chrono...

 

[scottyj11]

So Pleased! Thanks Hont...

I recieved my King Power All Black yesterday. It is absolutely stunning! Looks so much better on my wrist than in the QC shots!

I'll post a photo when I get the chance - my computer at home blew up!

The only thing I'd be interested in changing is the AR coating. It is a bit blue.

Who does the best AR mod?? Is there anyone in Australia who could do it?

Thanks guys...

Congrats !

Post up some wristie pics

For AR, go for Taka's recoating service. Best mod for all my reps.

And it's in Singapore , so not too far away for u mate.

When AR too blue , it's the most obvious tell for all reps

Finally some pics

Been wearing my watch proudly for about a week. Absolutely love it! I wish the AR was not so blue and that the clasp was ceramic also. It has started fading already!!

Here are some pics...

love this watch will be my next purchase. got a day date 2 on the way from MR. Are the markers and hands on this silver or is it just the pictures? ive seen a few that are like this then a few that look black is it the different versions?

 

[scottyj11]

This is an All Black version that hont sourced for me. The first watch he sourced has silver markers and white numbers (see page 1). He may have sent it back to the factory for the dial to be replaced, or may have sourced another... not quite sure.

The markers and numbers are not jet black. They are a kind of bronze/grey. Pretty freaking cool really! In low light they look black, but in higher lit areas have just a little bit of contrast. I'm stoked about it.

Great looking watch scotty congrats on the purchase, hont realy came through, I have a question do both cronos work or just one?

 

[scottyj11]

Hey Ewatch.. only saw your post today. The second hand at 9 oclock worked fine. But when the chrono was started the Minute counter at 3 oclock hung at 5 mins. It was pretty tragic and really stained my first rep purchase experience.

The watch is currently back in china with Hont. He is having it repaired and the wait is again killing me!

 

[giorgio27]

hi, can you tell me the dealer you bought it from?

 

[murklemark]

hi, can you tell me the dealer you bought it from?

Hont, he is in the trusted dealer section.

 

[audace]

The problem is the faux flyback hand and the dial at 9 o'clock is meant to be a chrono second hand moving 1 cycle in 1 second, not a normal second hand.
