You can easily get yours looking virtually identical to mine. I simply used this kit - use only the mirror finish green compound:

Looks absolutely amazing.

Stunning - are you planning on perhaps polishing the dials up too?

 

[CoffeeandCars]

Also, did you mask up the glass before polishing?

I so wish I could, but that's probably getting too involved for my experience. I'm scared of bending the dials. I masked the glass but later realized I didn't need to and finished the polishing with the tape removed. I did mask the strap, though. It gets messy.

@BindsThatTie where did you order the V2 from?
I looked at DHGate, and the "V2" that they have seems to be missing the hublot logo

Its no missing only censored because of Copyright

How have they held up thus far?

 

[d4m.test]

Do any of the sang bleu models actually use the one click system or are they hidden spring bars?

 

[Tigerdragon]

what do you mean? Its a cheap 21j movement

i just ordered the V2 this morning. waiting for the pics. will post them here as soon as I get them

 

[d4m.test]

ok I got the QC pics here they are!

 

[d4m.test]

I dont get why they paint the little lines black though. Once I get the watch I will see if i can polish them out. I ordered a polishing kit too.

Mine is still going strong. It definitely feels like a junky 21J movement when winding. Lots of slipping - everything you would expect from a $100 watch.

I ordered the v2 from the site using the link provided and was sent v1 unfortunately :/

Aaaaaanyways - was able to remove those dreadful black lines by hand using piercing needles to carefully “pick” it all out; check it out lemme know what yall think

Looks great, but the engraving looks too deep tho.
