So is this a simple fix such as just rotating the watch and rotate the dial? I understand the movement will be upside down but the front should be ok?
Or just put another movement in there?
Really love the 112...not sure I can get used to the 219.

The dial feet will be wrong.

You can split the dial like you were going to relume it, also a good time to do so, sand off the little feet between the 2 dials and reglue them the other way. This will be the simplest way to do it.

Actually, the movement engraving is upside down for the 219, it'll be correct for the 112.

The caseback will be wrong, the dial feet will need to be modified and the CG will be upside down.

Like the Gentlemans said it would be difficult, but if you are not hurry the 112 will be launch by the Hublot factory (219,005, etc...) likely at the end of march.

Well that's what a dealer told me coze me too i wanted a 112, my first solution was to buy the new 111J & negociate just the new 219 dial.

But hey i think the new 005 will make me wait ;)

I am a righty, and I love the 219. I really like the 112 on my left wrist, but I like the 219 on my left wrist even more. Different strokes.....
