Skag 0 Posted July 23, 2018 When looking for a Hublot, what are usually the crucial points to look out for ? Take for example these 3: http://trustytimestore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=279_320&products_id=17775 http://trustytimestore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=279_320&products_id=11604 http://trustytimestore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=279_320&products_id=8841 For example, I own a Rolex, and the font is a bit off. Doesn't stand out, but I can see it (and surely Rolex enthusiasts can tell by closely inspecting). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,283 Posted July 23, 2018 There are several points to be wary of, but first and foremost is the basic design (sang bleu excepted). Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Stubbs 0 Posted July 23, 2018 Generally speaking, stick to the TDs and anything they sell will be quite accurate. But just a heads up, if you post one here prepare for the inevitable Who Blow joke or the vomit emoji. It's an RWG thing. Sigh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatarms 7,776 Posted July 23, 2018 I'd look out for anything that said "Hublot" anywhere on the watch. If you get QC pics of a watch with the word "Hublot" anywhere on the watch, reject it immediately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Except the Sang Bleu which is an interesting - no, groundbreaking - design and should be in any stylish person's collection. Fixed it for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those Hublot from your links have many flaws on the dial, dail markers, and hands, especially the gold ones. The only Hublot I would recommend is the Classic Fusion from JJF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Sang Bleu like all Hublot watches , looks like it was designed by a children's play group who have been given vodka in their squash . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markeym3 2 Posted July 23, 2018 Don't listen to these old boys... :-) I had a Big Bang Lite , Ice Bang.. It was a really nice watch , best anti reflective of any watch I have had. It was only the "lite" version because of the "saw tooth rotor" but , yeah a great watch... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

171796 2 Posted July 23, 2018 While some claim the Big Bang Chronos to be super reps, I think the finishing is really bad (compared to other reps). It looks and feels incredibly cheap although specs and looks are similar as gen from 7 feet away. It’s not nicely polished and the details are bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It depends, I have this one with ceramic bezel and it is undoubtedly a great rep (sunken date apart, but being black it isn't that noticeable):https://www.intime03.co/hublot/1143-big-bang-v6-factory-rose-ceramic-bezel-rg-case-on-rubber-strap.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
