Rose Gold HBB - Pictures

[Obie]

As some of you may know my HBB arrived today after a long wait.
I will put this in the 'other replicas' forum because it is not really a review

I got the version with correct rotor bearing and micro regulator, it's only real tell is the bold Hublot font on the rotor as opposed to the thinner engraved of the gen, and some other reps.

It cost me 299$ from T4D, but it think it should have been 349$ and only gave me it this price because i had already sent the money and then he realised the he did not have any of the gold bezel ones in stock. (the ceramic version is 50usd more)

It feels really good to finally give something back, although minimal, to a community from which i have taken so much knowledge. Thanks guys!

So enough talk, on with the show. (all pictures were taken from my blackberry so sorry for the poor camera work, although i was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the camera)

I will start with my best picture:

I am glad that you got your watch, the only thing I do not like is the fucking IBM thinkpad in the background, reminds me about work and I am on vacation since 9 days....

haha, i would add you on sametime but i hand in my TP tommorow, last week is all presenting with my team.


Anyway back to the watch. One slight complaint is that the strap is not very comfy, the clasp digs into my wrist if i wear it as tight as i would like it but just loosening the strap by two notches solves this.

Loving it more every second i see sweep away.

No samtime for me for the next week
regarding your complaint, just search for it, I know people have reported the same problem and came up with a fix.
I changed the strap on my HBB to the smooth one, much better....here is a pic

please any info would be great.

i got it for $299 but i think it should really be $349

I got it from Time4Direct, look in the trusted dealer section. Email him, you should find the details there.


And guru, from where did you purchase your new band? and price?
Also do you know the cost of a gen band? I assume I would just keep the clasp and only buy the rubber.

I have tried on the genuine version many times and it has a very distinct solid feel and weight. How is the weight of this replica version from t4d website??

Thank you

 

[guru]

my Tuiga RG is 158 gr

 

[andre88]

any idea what the weight is of the genuine? im guessing it might be close to that
