fikeies 1 Posted April 17, 2013 Dug out some of these old photos from the archives and really happen to find this watch stunning. Haven't been around here too long but was the Fusion not very well received. Money is burning a hole in my pocket for this....I'd love to hear about any recent experiences. I added a few pictures I stumbled upon searching around RWG's older posts. Thanks!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fikeies 1 Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) If you like it, buy it I think I might just do that I'll start with WI, that's where one of the watches pictures in my post are from. Any ideas if there have been upgraded releases such as v1 , v1.5, etc..... Edited April 17, 2013 by fikeies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierrepooh 0 Posted April 17, 2013 I have TWO fusions and I really really like both of them. Sadly, my dream fusion, with the "opalescent" dial, has no rep available. *cry* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xebryus 0 Posted April 17, 2013 Not sure as well, but honestly it's a great looking watch, You'll be happy with it regardless. If the pictures make you happy, could you imagine watch having it on your wrist feels like? A little something like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

746_heuer 0 Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) I also have a question about the fusion, the gen is available in 33, 42 and 45. 45 is way too big for me, and silix has a 42mm one, but I think it's mistaken and it's actually 45, any thoughts? http://silix-prime.s...roducts_id=4274 anyone knows if there has ever been a smaller version (rep)? Also, trusty sells a 38mm big bang which would be perfect, but it's a very different model Edited June 12, 2013 by 746_heuer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zero_deficit 0 Posted June 12, 2013 I have seen a 42mm classic fusion, but by far the most common and accurate to gen especially with the newer ones are the 45mm. For the 45mm,there are at least 3 versions (not necessarily from the same factory, and not necessarily referred to as such). The first are the 21J with a 2813 or a 4813 - these aren't do readily available any more. Second version, the most common and the one in the photo is the A2824 one. These two all have 'automatic' at the bottom and is 0.5mm thicker than their gen counterparts. The latest version is one with an A2892 moment which significantly reduces the weight, makes the watch thinner as per gen specs, has an updated rotor a lot closer to gen, and the 2892 is generally a lot more reliable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't seem to find it... this fella over on RWI bought one from Silix, looks like a 21J http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/first-rep-hublot-111448.html And there seems to be a 43mm version on WatchEden http://www.watcheden.net/hublot-big-bang-vend-me-collection-swiss-eta-movement-with-black-dial-s-s-i-187538-p-1.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fustyler 0 Posted June 23, 2013 I'm also looking for a 33mm and 45mm with 2892 mvt. Anyone find out where it can be sourced? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smallest Classic Fusion rep is 38mm and only come in 2824 or Quartz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
good13yes 0 Posted June 25, 2013 I like to watch the second Hublot picture I prefer my friend sent the Hublot 542CP1780RX Admin edit: scam link removed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rickyrosey 2 Posted June 25, 2013 i have this version but with the steanless steel bracelet and i have a chrono version with red markers and they are both really good looking an comfrotable watch, sadly the chrono version died last month Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fustyler 0 Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) I came across the follow, 45mm A2892 version : http://puretime.co/p...ck-gummy-a2892/ 38mm A2824: black ceramic: http://puretime.co/product/big-bang-classic-fusion-38mm-11-all-black-on-black-rubber-strap/ SS: http://puretime.co/product/big-bang-classic-fusion-38mm-ss-black-dial-on-black-rubber-strap-a2824/ Thinking of getting the 45mm for myself and 38mm ceramic for the misses. Any guru able to comment on the above? The rotor of the 38mm ceramic doesn't look rlght; should look more like the rotor on the SS version.

zero_deficit 0 Posted June 28, 2013 Nothing wrong with the 38mm, they're just less closer to the gen than the 2892 - they're thicker, have the wrong rotor, and has the 'Automatic' label on the dial which they discontinued quite a while ago. Nothing major, i'd get whatever looks good if it's for the misses. Both reliable movements. Perhaps even have a look at some quartz? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
