Hysek Abyss Explorer mini review - pic heavy

[Pihlippe 1,294]

This was my first order from Andrew, Trusty Time

Is probably not the last order either

 

The Abyss Explorer is a huge piece.

I would compare it some with the Hublot Diver 4000 v2

They have approx the the same size and quality feeling is also similar.

 

Diver 4000 is aprox 50mm x 23 and weighs 215g

Abyss Explorer is aprox 48mm x 17 and weighs 237g

Both have asian 7750 movement

 

The strap on the Abyss is very specially made ​​and looks cool with the big H embedded in the strap.

Feels like the rubber have good quality and smells vanilla.

The Abyss has some flaws, so it's not so gen like as the Diver.

If you must know what they are, you can compare with a gene yourself,

I don't think they are so important

Diver 4000 is about $ 438 and Abyss Explorer $ 368

 

 

Well over to some pictures.

As you can see, there is the RWI calenderen for 2013 that is the background, assume that all of you have ordered one?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: some wrist shots...

Awesome watch. I have one in two-tone but I like yours much more.

 

Be aware, I lost one of the rivets off the face, not sure where to get a replacement or how to prevent it from happening again.

I don't actually think this looks too bad. Nice watch, looks like a beast!

Lots of detail...I like it. Need to see a wristy though as this looks like it may be a monster.

[BigDee62 0]

It IS a monster, but it's pretty nice - a Hublot on steriods. But Pihl's got it right, it's not a superrep - to begin with, anyone who handles it will notice a lot of sharp edges.

Congratulations !!!

 

 

I agree, lets see a wristie .... pleeeeezzzze

[Pihlippe 1,294]

This is such an awesome looking watch (so is the Hublot Diver) and I so wish I could pull these big watches off but the truth is my wrist is 6.5-6.75" and all the big boys look ridiculous on my wrist.

Thanks for great pics which made my decission final.

This is an awesome watch...Really love wearing it...

 

Owners must pay attention : all the straps screw are loose...already lost 3 :-(

Use loctite before using it :-)
