Got my HBB RG v1 QC Pics from Lay

[ashmolean]

Experts - looks good? I asked for brushed bezel and V2 rotor .... to my untrained eye looks great!

As for mods - Thinking of adding Tx crystal but not sure yet. Any ideas on how to get the "H" engraving on the bridge most welcome.

hmm, what version is this? looks really good, upgraded 301 caseback, but the same crown as the v1 lite, with flat teeth.....? I'm confused atm, regarding the v1 hbb's


but beautyful watch it is

Looking good. I think an RG Big Bang might just be my next target...

you should edit the post and remove the packaging pictures (or at least hide your address and track# ) irates: . If by chance there's someone snooping from authority it may get intercepted in transit!!

Thanks guys for the picture cleanup and note on photo with address - should be fixed by now! Lay has been great, I told him I definately wanted the v1 with V2 rotor, brushed cermamic bezel etc. So far looks like it's all there.

Which crown is closer to gen - the on the watch I'm getting or original V1? I asked for a push crown as I was under the impression it's closer to gen.......

Love this one but I'm not sure about the crown. Did you figure it out? I'm researching the King Power F1 myself. Good luck!

i would like to ask you guys,why would someone choose a v1 with a v2 rotor? i was under the impression that the v1 is better (at least on tuiga model).
the v2 rotor is better than the v1 rotor and vice versa for the case?

thanks

This is my first ever Rep Order.....

Ahhh the wait. The slow EMS. Some delays in comms from/to Lay (no doubt he was SUPER busy!), seeing the V1.5 cheaper after my V1 order. Was it all worth it???

YEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!:biglaugh:

Props to:

- Y'all for the community, wealth of Knowledge, and putting up with my 1st time image posting and watch photography (promise it'll get better)
- Lay. As others have said best way to catch him is on his site live chat. Delivered EXACTLY what I asked for!!!
- EMS for building the suspense over 3 weeks

Got a Tx Crystal on the way and will find a brdige mod ..... otherwise one VERY happy camper!

v1 is the superior watch all around.
except for the rotor.

v2 has the correct rotor bearing, v1 has an incorrect saw tooth bearing.
v2 has an engraved rotor, v1 has stickers on it instead of it being engraved.

so putting a v2 rotor in the v1 watch is a natural decision, and lucky for
us the v2 factory is nice enough to sell them to us to do so.
