Not bad at all! 9/10...misses some gold!

Ask UPS to get the "deliveryman" to physically in the place, indicate to which door he delivered the package.

Ask UPS to give you a written answer regarding the 100 USD refund and also to give you a copy of the written std procedure where it says about the (100 USD) refund.

BTW , these procedures can only be valid if they are made available when the service was contracted.

In any case , ...... it will be pretty hard to get anything out of them.

He left it lying in front of house and signed it himself! So end of story... until now!

Hi!

I have been very busy with my parcel problem and have found the following none-official result. It seams that the UPS guy left the parcel in front of my door, signed that I received it and then left. It lay there for half a day and one night, (most likely less), as I did not leave the house that day, because I work from at home!

The diver called me up today, as he was questioned on the case and offered me 100

Just because your neighbors say they don't have does not mean it's true.

Yes that is true, so I now will get my baseball bat, go over and find out if he is lying or if I have to excuse myself for my slightly behaviour...give me 5 mins, I am right back!

No, he does not have it! I allready asked the neighbors before posting this thread!

I would start by getting a scan of the address label on the package (or in UPS's system) to be sure the sender got it right (I cannot tell you how many times a shipper will place an incomplete or incorrect address on a package, which results in its being delivered to the wrong address).

It states my address and my name! But I did not get it!

Hi,

Let me start with the GOOD news:

- the waiting is over! The HBB gold that we have been discussing and working on is finished. The final product pics can be found below.

The BAD news is:

- The MOQ (minimum order quantity) for a silver screwed movement in combination with brushed hands is 1.000 pieces! Due to this MOQ the 2 last requirements will not happen.

It was confirmed to me today that this watch which I paid for several months ago will leave China soon and be with me with 1-2 weeks via registered airmail. Once I have this HBB , I will post pics and a review!

Thanks for your patience and help on this project.

Regards,

Hi there!

Here a my UPS story:

Officially I received a parcel via UPS on the 05th.03 . If checking the status with the tracking code, you can see that I apparently signed for it at 10:14

I have had mine for 14 months now... no issues! Great summer time watch!

Very cool! I even believe that you could fool some people into believing that this is the way a USB stick works (inside!)

I am still getting a few of PM's about this watch, it seems it is discontinued maybe? That would be a shame, as I always wanted to re-buy it at some stage......

Anybody had any luck sourcing a full gold ceramic case HBB of late, and from which dealer?

Cheers!

All gone! None left and not being made anymore!

Killer watch... specially with 2nd chrono hand, even if it is set a 8 secs ahead...please post pics!

Unfortunately my watches interest my wife as much as her handbags interest me.

101% true...

Hi,

I am on a business trip to Denver this week and flew via Frankfurt to Colorado. Flying business class is not only space wise a pleasure, but also checking out watches is fun. Normally you see some Rolex or Omegas, sometimes a Panerai

Gruss aus Holland! Eine ehmaliger Pinneberger!

Check this:

I think there is also a steel version!

Sure! PAM 196 in bella Italia/Florence in front of PANERAIs main HQ shop...

Question: Why the slow beat? Has that not proved problematic in the past?

That is a somekind of rumour! I would like to see the statistcs on that!

Thanks very much for sharing! Looks like you're off to a very good start. What movement base; 21k?

Cheers!

It will be a 21 k movemnet with silver screws... not as on this pic with blue scews.

Hi,

all very valid comments!

I was wanting to orderd a HBB gold rep and was sent pics before hand. I then went back and said....can you fix this error and this one... and many more. This is how this started! Goal is to make a better rep with dealer, who will then sell it. This dealer is a less aggressive then the "trusted ones" but well known. The pic in my first post is the rep after 3 rounds of mods. The dial would need brushed hour markers, but that seams to be a BIG production problem. The final price will be in the 300-400 USD range.

Also I discussed with him to get people interessted in this watch, as it will be a small order only.

I am only sharing info on this project!

Don't mean to sound negative .. but it's still a rep isn't it??

is this the gold watch that will be priced north of 6k??

for that money I think I would buy a genuine of another brand ..

or a nice 18k bracelet..

Hi, your not negative at all! Just not up to date on HBB's! The name HBB Gold is the gen HBB name. The rep will of course be not gold, just a "normal" HBB copy. Here a pic of the real deal.

Hi there,

just a short update on a cooperation with a dealer. "We" have been working on the HBB gold removing the bigger flaws for a launch after the Chinese new year. Here some pics! If you are interessted in this, please state this in the thread. There will only be a few made!

Update follows!

That is sharp! I did not know anything new was out. I might get this one.

Check out this thread at REPGEEK: http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=91603&page=2 maybe I can interrest you in this watch? Of so, PM me!

Thanks for your info.....can you point out a close rep for Hublot 48mm.....Thanks in advance...

None really! I wish there was a good gold version...but then again, "none"depends on how close is good enough!

Lots of little flaws and a great watch! Check this: http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=83464&highlight=Hublot

Interesting strap, I always thought that HBB needed some leather shoes to be really classy watch. The watch itself, I won't comment, not my cup of tea anyhow

BTW, what is this post doing in "General discussion" ???

regards

THANKS! Where would you have posted this?
