Hi, who are you, have you ordered?

People who have already paid will have their HBB shipped on 26th December. When you order, I can custom make a rose gold hand version for you. But first of all I want to be your GF I will make them silver unless specially mentioned.

I forgot, just returned the SuperOcean back to the watch maker. I think the Evo should have a deployant buckle.

Enjoy:

About 2 weeks ago, the pre-order is closed already. I take new orders now, please e-mail me on puretime2005@gmail.com, thanks.

What is the "ballpart"? Sorry for my poor English. Do you have a nice buckle as well?

It can be fixed because I post here, all you guys did take part in the production of this rep, thank you.

Yes, after the HBB are shipped, I will launch the EVO pre-order, watches should be able to ship on 2nd Jan. 24mm, show us the evo with your strap when you receive it

Last question before it launches, do you need gold hands on the F1 model or steel hands? If no request then I will have all installed with steel hands as genuine.

@ALL The 'H' will be fixed, no one will receive an HBB with incorrect 'H'.

Good to hear. Two Tone, both bracelet and strap, but I am not sure if the 2Tone will be available by 1st Jan. No problem! I saw there were 34 people voted for "Yes, I am waiting", if there is 20 people will buy from me, a group buy will be easy. Anyway, I may organize a pre-order for this watch, but I will only start it when the price is 100% confirmed. Sorry, you may get confused, for this watch, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd versions are made from different factories and they don't have any relationship between them. Because I have a better contact the the 3rd version factory so I can tell him what to improve before the watch is launched, I gather all info provided by the forum members and pass them to the watch maker in order to make a 99% perfect rep which does not need any improvement in the future, this would make us save a lot from chasing the new generation of the reps.

Dear All, First of all, thank you for taking part / paying attention in the HBB pre-order. Today I received an update on the price of the HBB from the watch maker, the watch maker calculated the cost wrongly and the updated cost is much higher than the previous price, I am really sorry to tell you about this, I really hope I can gain your understanding and forgiveness from this happening. I want to appologize to everyone who have e-mailed me and especially who have already paid for this watch, would those who have paid please choose one of the options down below to complete this trade: 1. If you want to cancel this order, I am willing to refund to your paypal address or by WU depends on how did you paid for it, and you will also get a 10% discount on your next order with me. 2. If you are still interested in this watch, please pay a difference to me (I have sent e-mails to those who have already paid respectively and please remind me if you have not received it), this watch will be shipped on 26th December (25th is a holiday) for sure. And you will also get a 10% discount on your next order. I am again sorry for this happening and I hope you are satisfied with the above solutions, if you have any questions on this order, please feel free to let me know and I will get back to you ASAP. I guarantee this issue will not happen again and I am sorry I make you disppointed with this trade. I post here because I want everyone know I make a mistake and I beg for all your forgiveness. Thousands of thanks for your understanding and please give me a chance to make it right. Cheers, Angus

Anyone knows when? If not too long then I will ask the watch maker to wait.

Got a sample PAM252 North Pole GMT from the watch maker, took 2 pics and here is the comparison, please feel free to let me know any changes should be applied on the upcoming ones so I can let the watch maker know. Here is the gen pic: 1. Front comparison, upper one shows the current version, it has a shiny blue dial, sapphire crystal without AR, incorrect GMT hand (bigger triangle) and incorrect cyclops size and incorrect magnifying power. Besides, the squares and letters on bezel are quite high and there are only 12 clicks on the bezel, don't know if they should be in this way, please advice. For the lower one, the upcoming version from another watch maker, has a non-shiny dark blue dial (near black), sappire crystal with heavy AR, correct GMT hand size (thanks Finepics for the dimensions) correct cyclop size (smaller) and correct magnifying power. Still unsure about the dial colour and the bezel letters, 60 clicks bezel. Any suggests will be appreciated. 2. Caseback comparison, upper one shows the current version, the maker of the current version seems reversed the continent (should be brushed) and ocean (should be polished) areas The current version caseback does not have a serial number engraved as well (IXXX/500), please kindly send me an e-mail if you find any mistake on the upcoming version (lower one) so I can tell the watch maker to correct it.

By the end of this month, dial versions include: 1. Graphite with red writing 2. Black 3. white 4. Blue 5. Grey with dark sub-dials I will start a group buy as soon as I know the price.

Ok, I see, thanks!

I am sorry the maker will not make the stamp on the rotor, he said he would rather use the money to improve other parts of the watch. Umm, no sorry, I will ask, but this one will be available very soon. Just received the final sample of the white dial chronomat evo today, took some pics and did a comparison between the current version and the coming (my) version (upper one is the coming versio and lower one is the current version). These have to be fixed before releasing: 1. The stick markers will be changed to without 'stairs'. 2. The pearl will be changed to much better one. Please grap the last chance to suggest, thank you! Enjoy: 1. Dial colour difference 2. Hands lume colour 3. Dial printing and date font 4. Bezel screw(1) 5. Pearl and bezel screw (2) 6. Engraving between lugs 7. Anti-Reflective coating 8. Caseback 9. Caseback engraving (1) 10. Caseback Engraving (2) 11. Caseback Engraving (3)

I even did not know this, why was the post moved to my section and I got no notification abotu this (I thought when mods move a topic, they would tell the one who started the post?)? Did anyone say anything?

Dear All, Pre-order closed, all sold out, thank you for your support! Cheers, Angus

Yes for my coming version of breitlings I will also release the F1 one, but I am now asking the watch maker to make the correct caseback for the RG version, hope this can be done soon.

Yes, I can tell now, thanks! Thanks for the pics, I think the only possibility is the Black Magic. I will try my best. Thanks Mark! We are also thinking about this. uziuzi below had answered your questions, thank you for your question. Thanks for answering. The istambul version will not be released this time. What happened to this post? Somebady moved it to some where else? Thank you for your words:-) The time is not enough for this time, maybe for the later models we will make it right before releasing. This time we have not enough time because the prototype came very late.

Thank you, the NP GMT will be further prosponed due to the lack of movement. But there will be other Panerai is coming out, one of them is the Ultimate PAM092 Arktos, with improved case, A7750 movement, sapphire crystal with genuine AR and correct date mag. I should thank you! But unfortunately this rep cannot install a swiss movement inside. But the Asian 7750 movement works fine for me. You are welcome. That is why the watch maker disembled the watch and let me take pics, he is proud of this production. Thank you! haha, I believe I will have more orders from you. I understand both versions are the same, am I wrong?

No, you got a good taste! I will satisfy your need very soon, I don't have any plated case for you to see at this moment (the plated case will be damn good!!) but a 2Tone dial, this dial is still a prototype and it needs improvement. But it at least gives you a wish. Enjoy:

Another way to do this: sell your version 2 white and buy a graphite from me, or if you like white dial version and you cab buy both after the version 2 white is sold. The movement holder will not be changed, I am sorry...

We don't have any decision yet, just looked at the different versions and discussed which ones looked nice and what info we have now. You are welcome. The existing rubber strap is very nice, quality is comparable to the genuine. Yes, it is genuine AR instead of just some blue-ish coating. I am not sure but I have never seen a prototype has AR but the final product doesn't. Yes, this watch is made 1:1 from the genuine, even the small screws are made 100% same genuine, besides the movement case, everything can be installed into a genuine HBB. Yes I do sleep, I usually sleep when most of you sleep as well, because I can reply as soon as you guys have questions and problems. Haha, yes, I sleep at about 9:00am in the morning (GMT +. I remember someone had talked about this but I forgot where it was. Btw, thank you for your opinions.
