I see that's the best seller in the Hublot toubillon section at replicamake.com

Is that where you ordered it, or has your post inspired others to get their own? I can't wait to get one, this has moved up the queue to #2 for me.

Did you have the factory put the RG bezel on it, or did you do it yourself?

The buyer brought the rose gold bezel separately.

Wow! Wow! This is awesome!
What a beautiful watch!!

Please, could you take a VIDEO and place it on you tube, to see the tourbillon working?? It's the only thing missing on your great post.

Thanks for share it.
Congratulations

I feel sad to say that my video capturing skills pale in comparison to my photography skills. I need to upgrade my camera SLR to one that does video.

In any case, I tried to make a small video from my compact camera. It's a little on the dark side, but I hope it shows the tourbillon movement in action as you wanted:

It seems that this maker does not supply spare rg bezels. Can you confirm what you installed ? V1 or V2 or anything else.

Thx :)

mosh_2k7 is correct. I did order the gold bezel separately.

And yes, I did get it from Lay. I have no idea if my purchase inspired others to buy it as well, but I think that would be good news for Lay, since I don't think he sells that many tourbillons (too expensive for most). He also sourced me the gold bezel, though I have no idea which factory he got the gold bezel from. I had to change the bezel myself.

Whyser, thanks for your excellent post. This is the only Tourbillon I think I would consider, but I am not sure that a gold watch would suit me. Is there anyway you could post some wrist shots of your Hublot as it might give me a better idea of what it would look like?

Yeah for sure, I've been promising to do some more shots, and I've wanted to do wrist shots.

I'll see if I have time, I have my own wedding that's upcoming, so I may not really be responding with photos in the next little while, but I'm trying to find time to set this up for my next shoot.

The best thing about this rep is that the skeleton face plays down one of the biggest flaws in the Hublot Tourby line, which is that the center pin is off center.

On the Gen, it's centered, but on this rep, it's hardly noticeable.

Gonna' get one.... Definitely....

Just gotta wait until the other recent purchases clear the wifey radar, because this one will be tough to hide.....

Here you go, a wrist shot from a distance.
I've updated my first post with this image as well.. taken from my wedding this past weekend!

You get to see the black skeleton tourbillon as well!

FINALLY, to complete this project, I finally was able to replace the standard PVD coated steel version to the rose gold version.

This tourby is excellent, movement from caseback much better and detailed than previous ones!

The only niggle I have is the skeleton black plastic that the bezel sits on (as mentioned), more so around Hublot sign @ 3, it looks like the rest of the frame around most of the tourby movement and back, is grey metal, shame they didnt use same material for this on display piece. This may become a mod or upgrade part?


Other than that, a fantastic tourby watch!!!!
