Alright! I started a gen collector. Tested the dark side to try some new makes, got hooked and you know the drill. Started with pams and rollies, then AP, but I swore off Hublot... And now... You guessed it. I want to give one a go. Lots of good info here so I'm not here to start a blind thread. I have narrowed it down to 3 for my first dance...


1) BB ss/ceramic black - http://intime.co/product.php?id_product=1150

2) BB v6 RG/ceramic - http://intime.co/product.php?id_product=1143

3) Other - ;-)

What are your recommendations? Thanks!

I bought from Ryan the Big Bang V6 Factory Rose Ceramic Bezel RG Case on Rubber Strap about 3 months ago. It is a very nice watch and hard to tell that is a rep. Gold plate is very good although I do not wear it everyday. Good luck.

I like Hublots but the clasp is unbearable for me. It digs into my wrist and I end up wanting to throw the watch out the window. I even tried on a GEN, and it felt just as uncomfortable. I know other have had the same issue. Hopefully you don't encounter the same problem.

Yeah some have that issue....

Btw:
Do you really like that bracelet on SS though?
It comes on the same rubber strap as RG, look a few pages back on intime.
Id change out the strap anyway though!

Thanks for the help guys! I will probably get both... Some of you know how I am! Lol

For now, I pulled the trigger on the v6 RG ceramic. Just got (and approved) QC...

Post one of your famous reviews once you get her!!
I really love the mixture of all the materials on the Hublots, and i think you will too....
The metal, ceramic bezel, detailed dial, great AR, and very cool textured numerals (you will see when you get it - they have a cut and almost look layered, reflect light great as well.)
Enjoy!!

I never thought I'd be getting one, but was hanging out with friends at a party and there was a dude who was sporting a gen hbb ss ceramic and I was admiring it and he was admiring my ap FC diver (v3). He was so thrilled to see it, I just didn't have the heart to tell him it was a rep but he asked to try it on and I tried his hbb and was impressed. And saying that i was trying on accessories with a dude out loud sounds gayer than it actually was. Haha!

and yes! I will definitely do a review!

Sheriff, that's a great rep! Here is my Gen of the same watch. The factory did an unbelievable job on this one. The tells are so small that I don't think even a Hublot dealer would know the difference unless you handed it to them.

The SS/Ceramic is a rep.

Sheriffwho, I know your from my neck of the woods. You don't see to many people with Gen RG HBB around here. The dude you saw at the party didn't happen to be a Spanish gentleman by the name of Juan Carlo did it?

Actually, this was at a party in SoCal where I do a lot of stuff, and it was a non-Spanish gentleman ;-)

btw... Now that the holidays are behind, lets get together for lunch bro. I think you're like 5-10 minutes from my secret lair...
