I am a very happy member as well. Great rep. I went with the latest version. I did do the lightening of the outer bezel "wells" and swapped in an ETA 7750. Now that second hand sweeps much better.

Mine is not doing so well..... Humidity ruined my dial badly...
The movement works really well (mode slightly the watch and it starts...), but I have to change the dial now. Parts are on order....
I'll take the opportunity to waterproof the watch and perhaps lume the outer ring as you proposed Kenny, it's a good idea...

Well the unfunny thing is that I won't be able to use this summer watch during my vacation but that's life !

Mine had greased all orings already. I just regreased them with my better grease and tighten the back and of course seal the HEV valve.

My sealing were not greased (standard from out of the box) but not sure the caseback was well I could open it without tools (a little hard by hand but I could open it with my hands.....)
Anyhow I must repair it now !!

Oh yes you didn't have it sealed correctly :( I sealed mine with caseback tool really to the max. How much the spare parts cost ? I am thinking of some modding lol :)

Just got mine from Angus a week ago. Worn it twice and love it!

Only thing is ... now it's missing a tiny black 'H' screw from band release plate :-(

Do you think Angus could send me a new screw PLUS a spare?

yes he should send you the screw, and I recommend FASTEN all screws with the screwdriver that you can use it on the screws !!!

I saw Hublot-Type screwdrivers on the Bay for $20 - $30. Is there one size that fits all? Or do I have to buy a set of different H drivers?

Screwdriver ordered and en route as I type.

Spare screws ordered from Angus at PureTime - they were USD$8 per screw!

So I ordered 2 x each size (is there only 1 size on the HBB ver 2?)
