Would anyone know the likelihood of 26579 Perpetual Black ceramic vs SS OW 41mm 15407?

Reason I ask is those models didn't have any mention of limited edition, but obviously as we've seen, likely very low production. Some have been able to get on a waitlist for the 15407, but is none for the 26579?

Thanks, Tourby chrono looks fantastic. Rubber strap with blue sides looks cool. RG sides one could work on a RG 44.

Mirror polish bezel definitely has more noticeable hairline scratches - though it is my daily and I wear under a button down shirt.
It's platinum and it,s easy to scratch.
bezel the weak point of AP and platinum

Even polished SS marks easily!

Either way baring knocks a Pt polished bezel will fair no worse then a SS polished one, any highly polished surface will show up marks.

Granted not AP but I’ve seen plenty of Pt DD bezels holding up ok

Agree, the TI one is starting to look suspicious... while that black magic is my pick of the show.

no excuse for that. none at all. disgraceful IMO. Its almost like they didn't know when SIHH began and last week they said "uh oh we better put some watches together quick"


Not only are they misaligned they are not even screwed in. They are way above the bezel. It just screams QC issues to anyone who sees it. Thats a good looking watch otherwise.

There is no excuses for this, but a lot of models at SIHH and Basel are not working models without movement fitted in... so they are not production models after all...

they should still make them cosmetically correct. It just looks unprofessional otherwise. Bad brand image.

I refuse to believe that watch was intended for showcase or sale. Perhaps it was sabotaged. Completed unacceptable for the screws to be left in those positions.

Hublot probably snuck into the booth last night and played a joke.

That damn website. The web team is getting it worse than the design team for the color choices.
