Column wheel? YES
Please have a look at the movement photo, you'll see the blue column wheel directly under the crown.
And a short little video too:

One my fav Big Bang: the Bullet Bang
I wished to present you this Bullet Bang because it is in my humble point of view one most interesting Big Bang. We all know the usual reproaches made to Hublot: a profusion of limited editions, a lot of dial variations (including some which could be cons...
Thank you very much FX!
Very informative review, and interesting with a touch of history. Much apprecaited! Ken
Excellent Fr. Xavier...
You may know that I am privileged to own Bullet Bang #01/500, with the column wheel movement. It was a gift from our Managing Director for the very good sales we had in 2008. I wear it a lot, in fact have it on my wrist as I type this. The case is made of...
Hi Mike, some questions:
A wonderful timepiece indeed. Just want to clarify if indeed it is with column wheel? From the photo it is no different than my usual AeroBang and Big Bang SS? Cheers! Nien

Love the Bullet
Thanks Xavier, this is a great report on the very unique Bullet Bang. I am still waiting for the day they come out with a KP Bullet... now that would be cool! Andrew
Thanks Fr.Xavier
you've put all together ...ITS A TRUE BIG BANG , the ability of this bang to survive a brutal life above earth... its a bang which stand for it self far and special from any other sisters and brothers bangs . personally im not a man with a brutal living ....
A different look at Cermet.
This reply is in no way meant as a threadjack. Given the uniqueness of the material, I thought I would add a few shots of AP's Jarno Trulli, which has their own cermet formula used for the bezel. I have handled the Hublot Bullet in person. To me the color...
Any chance...
Hey Michael... any chance to flash that new AP... it is a stunner but better than the bullet... hmm! Andrew
Not at all.
In fact, my friends prompted me to share it. I thought it was appropriate here as only AP and Hublot come to mind as using this material in watches. Hublot's came out first. I know for a fact AP has been working on this and other materials for years. I fi...
I was just teasing!
Michael, I was just teasing you... it is strange however that 2 manufacturers have come out with a material of the same name which looks totally different. Andrew
No worries Andrew.
I did not get that and felt if other board members thought the same it would be better to remove. When I have a chance I'll add another photo with Hublot content!
I don't see any reason to remove the post.
Don't worry. I believe this type of discussion is totally okay from my view point. Other brand forum do have cross-brand comparison post from time to time. Ultimately such comparison comes down to one's taste and that makes this hobby diverse and interest...
Thanks for a nice detail
of the material. I just wonder that how much harder is it compare to normal ceramic case? As from my understanding, normal ceramic is almost resistent to any normal scratches already.

Whoa, thanks for the hardness scale..
... very informative and impressive. I am so intrigued and impressed with such material and fusion technology - begs the next question: how you shape it into case/ bezel. But I bet it is highly confidential and I respect that Thanks again, Mr. Biver! Ken
