How close is the weight of this watch to the gen?

Hmm... so taken completely literally... 2 weeks from that date would be the 22nd, only 9 days left

What's wrong with the orange bezel? I love it

Have you scratched the polished ceramic yet? Is it very resistant to scratches? I hear the gen is very scratch-resistant and strong.

Alright, alright, I get the point. I'm just saying, it seems like a minor detail to throw some mineral glass on there instead of plastic. Plastic on a watch should be reserved for Timex.

It seems anyone who touches the back would be easily be able to recognize that it's not glass. This isn't a dead giveaway?

Seems to defeat the purpose of going through all the trouble to make the back accurate at all.

Just noticed something... Angus said the back was plastic? Shouldn't it be sapphire?

Your inbox is full! I'm still in for the overnight. Let me know your PayPal id and I'll send the $$$ over when you're ready.

I think this thread finally sold me on the HBB. I'd really love to see some ceramic pics though.

I meant in no way to detract any sales from Angus. I was simply trying to show that it looks like the factories have finalized the design at it's current state. I mean, seriously, I'm pretty sure everyone here has been to Joshua's website and would figure this out eventually.

Hi, The caseback is real wood insert.. Same construction like the genuine.. I have not got the prices yet..It will not be cheap though.. Swiss movt should be avail for this watch.. Once info is in, I will update on my web and send out the mailers.. Stay tuned. Thanks Joshua

I sent Josh an email: Hi Joshua, I noticed you've got the long anticipated IWC coming soon to your site. I have a few questions. Is the wood on the back REAL wood or just a graphic? Do you have a price set on this watch yet? Will there be a Swiss and Asian version? Thanks, Xac

Looks like Joshua is planning on launching the current version. http://watchwindersworld.com/aaiwc-coming-weeks-p-2780.html

I'm in, from Michigan.

I love the look of the ceramic HBB, it's really a shame it's so expensive. I can't justify it. On the other hand, I couldn't be more happy with my Ultimate PO with ETA. Now that is a damn fine rep for a damn fine price. I wish they would come out with more reps of this quality in this price range. Will we ever see that happen again?

Oops! I meant lot #128 - here's the link http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tre...ev=&reveal=

Very cool book, I'd like to have one. Take a look at lot #117, there have been some heated debates over that one on the TimeZone forums. A lot of people have been saying it's a replica that slipped through.

nm, you meant the bracelet.

What do you mean discounted rate? The genuine is close to 12k?

I just bought a Ultimate PO from Josh and I couldn't be happier with the service and quality of the watch. The Big Bang is the next one on my want list, but the movement does scare me... anyways, if the price is good enough I'm in for a ceramic.

Wow, that's a beautiful looking watch. Anyone order one yet?
