I am not familiar with this brand, but it looks like a piece of inferior quality. There is absolutely no decorations or finishing of the bridges or plates of the movement. I would definitely stay away from this one.

Yup. Definitely fake. Convenient how the rotor just happens to cover up where the fine adjustment should be. Also look at that rotor bearing. And a couple other tells....

From looking at the movements and cases online, I can only say, if it is a fake, its a really good one. The fine adjuster, balance bridge, movement markings, rotor, rotor bearing, etc. all look like the real thing.

from real images online, i feel its not a real hublot. if it is deemed to be verified as 100% fake, you have a duty to out the "broker". my 2¢

So much controversy over different models it's really hard to tell. I had a watch maker pull it apart and says it's authentic. Serial number comes back to the case. Next step is to send off to Hublot to confirm. Broker said if there's any issues fully refundable.

the watch is 100% fake!

The case finishing around the corners is bad and there is basically no finishing on the movement bridges.
Hublot is a designer brand but even they would not let out a movement like that!

This is how the real movement finishing should look like:

Please tell us which watchmaker you used to pull it apart?! If he cannot tell that this is a cheap fake when others can tell just by these photos then he shouldn't be in business.
