Hi friends!
Recently I've received an order from Trevor...two 111M HB factory, but i think that are different...I'll call #1 and #2.
#1 has a rubber strap that smells vanilla (#2 odorless), crown more separate from case on #1 than #2, CG tigher on #2 than #1, numbers and hour marks less deeper on #1 than #2 (very difficult to see) and movement winding more noisy on #1 than #2.
Do you think that #1 really correspond to hublot factory? And #2? Is #2 from NOOB factory?

Hi ALE!!
Thanks for your post. I think that both are from the same factory watching the pics on the Puretime review, but my question is...
Why different noise when I wind them? And the different smell of the rubber straps?

The rubber straps perhaps are comming from different makers. Because dealers change many times the straps folloing the oreder of the customers. Therefore no problem about straps.
Concerning different noise, bear in mind they are replicas which the QC is very little or null, It is very easy to have great differences between several batches.
Just an opinion !!
