lol someone buy these and let us know about the AR quality reality is these days, my purchases are almost dictated by how good the AR quality is because in reality, that's what seperates the 'great' ones from the 'ok' ones mnho

I thought you were going to slow down? kidding kiddin! gotta admit this is tempting.. but it's a TAG -.- i hope it has AR... right now i'm kinda hunting for a SS watch that has AR that has high-polish on it :X lol

not rly a watch shot, but the UPO is on the background.. i gotta take more shots of my UPO now that my digicam is back working again .. haven't really taken any shots since my cam was decomissioned when i first got the watch UPO black bezel orange numerals on a sexy chocolate brown DeBeer Baby Crocodile strap (I originally ordered the UPO with the black calf leather with orange stitching but switched it replicating the genuine more.. black bez-orange number-chocolate brown croc strap = sexy

posts pics and impressions please, i think we all waiting to hear what's the 411 on these crystals.. do they have a stronger/better AR coating than the rep ones...?

and does it have a stronger AR coating than the one on the rep already?! please confirm cuz i see a UPO mod project in the pipeline for me!!

I doubt it's open, rumor is chief stopped doing these ...dying for him to re-instate it again though

jus some quick shots w/o flash i somehow gotta find a way to balance this HBB and my UPO.. or get a watch winder cuz my UPO gonna run outta power if i only show loovee to the hbb

lol thanks for the reply, yea it's no big thing, like i said.. i'm an info-seeker -.- my mind tries to process a ton of it so i can make more effective informed decisions (one such was paying the ridiculously high price for the HBB which I didn't even want to support) glad to see i understood even a little, lol.. and if i ever send a watch for service, it'll prolly be the HBB but i'm hoping not to cross that bridge for a while ^^ thank you

something happened today that has not happened to me before... I was wearing a long dress shirt today and was wearing my HBB for the first time.. maybe I'm conscious of the bling it has so I, who usually roll up my sleeve, did not all day.. basically.. 3 people saw my watch.. and every single one has complimented on it.. one asked me what watch it was at which point I even pronounced it properly for her.. another said it looked sharp.. and of course my favorite, the lovely PA who threw out the best compliment I've ever gotten on a watch.. mostly because of how sincere it was she basically stopped as she was leaving, turned, smiled and said, "I love your watch" it completely made my day and is the best compliment i've ever received besides "You smell good" every now and then or "what's your cologne?"

well im saying, if they don't like it, lol let me know lol and still, get a better shot of it please i want to see how it looks close-up remember.. part of the fun of the world of reps is seeing people's creativities... let your imagination be aroused and let your wallet cool down a bit at least for me, das what i like to tell myself even though i'm fighting a bad bad urge to get another watch a really, really, bad urge .. LOL

chieftang has entered into lore territory now tis true

vb.. too many reps.. tis becoming an obssession for you.. bad, bad! more pics of the T3 pls lol wanna sell that? ^^ LOL

kinda dissapointed he hasn't graced this thread yet i want to see the bling collection

The Zigmeister, I need your help.. this is how much information I've been digesting before purchasing this watch.. I actually read thru and tried to understand ALL THREE PARTS of the movement breakdown pt1 http://www.rwg.cc/members/How-Does-It-Work...ment-t1405.html pt2 http://www.rwg.cc/members/How-Does-It-Work...raph-t1406.html pt3 http://www.rwg.cc/members/How-Does-It-Work...raph-t1407.html now.. from the confusion that was my mind.. here's one simple question and all I need is a yes or no The least wear and tear on the basic movement, is actually with the chronograph running.. (big seconds), right? right? the reason i ask is that for pt3, your "Questions" is Running the chronograph will: 1) wear out the second’s gear and tilting pinion 2) load down and slow down the basic movement 3) cause my watch to break sooner which is basically all bad, BUT on pt2.. your Question was What position(s) of the chronograph are the most likely to cause the most wear to the 12 hour wheel and clutch, and what position has the most drag or friction on the basic movement: Your choices are: 1. Chrono in the OFF position 2. Chrono in the the ON or Running position 3. Chrono in the STOPPED position which the answer was 1 & 2 which basically says the best is having the Chrono running.. anyhows I just need confirmation, I'm keeping my chrono running but some posters believe/think that keeping it off is best..

the outside presentation of the HBB is flawless, the inner engine sucks is it worth it? every person answers that for themselves but keep this in mind, the recent price-hike is due to the demand of HBB's.. it's a blatant milking of $$ if this happened before i got my HBB, no I would not buy one now but I already had mine ultimately, is it worth it? each person answers that for themselves..

the HBB's are all cosmetic differences, the innards are one would assume, the same

just had one.. today was my first day wearing my new HBB so I'm wearing a long sleeve dress shirt, I work in the hospital and this P.A. was requesting some medical charts and she asked for my extension.. in the process of writing it down my sleeves shift and stuff and the HBB showed so after I gave her my extension and whatnot before she left she smiles at me and goes "I love your watch." and she meant it too.. I could tell from the way she said it ^^ this made my day, getting a compliment from a hot girl.. yea, I'm all smiles right about now

i mean, it doesn't have to be double-sided AR... even just ar on the underside is ok as long as it is strong enough.. mnho, i think AR is becoming a necessity these days as reps are becoming more complex dial-face wise... I made this thread because I was on the edge of getting the IWC Exupery but upon doing my 'research'.. nearly everyone complained of the non-existant AR on it that's what had me thinking... everyone's favorite watch has one thing in common.. really really good AR and i think it's becoming a necessity now as we go forward... the reps like FM's, montblanc's, AP's, IWC Diver's, Breitling's, etc... I think lack of AR or weak AR hurts the overall presentation of the watch.. and like I said... in reality no one's gonna point out your watch and go, "man that's a fake look at how clear that crystal is! the genuine doesn't have AR" it's more like they're actually fooled that it is a genuine because of the watches' presentation..

how often do you see, "if only that had.." basically, I know some people try to pass off reps as gens and thus if the gen doesn't have AR, the rep shouldn't as well.. but honestly speaking.. in reality, isn't the effect the opposite? people see a watch with great AR (HBB, SFSO, etc) and are convinced it is the gen BECAUSE of how marvelous it looks..? Nobody ever says, "wow that is a fake cuz the real one ain't that clear" .. more than anything most if not all comments from people convinced you're wearing a gen is because of the quality of the crystal.. case in point, the IWC Exup's.. the reviews have been downright mostly due to the lack of AR.. even though the gen doesn't have AR or has a weak AR as well.. it doesn't seem to matter.. this watch would've benefited STRONGLY from great AR.. seriously, the only thing holding me back from purchasing this bad boy is the supposed lack of AR are we at a point in reps now because of the watches and how they look that double AR is simply mandatory? imagine the FM's, AP's, MontBlanc's, VC's, etc etc etc which would look doubly much better with really strong AR ...anyhows my question to you all: Are things at a point now where double AR or strong AR is mandatory to be applied to the reps? what do you think?

is that right..? a BLUE dial? all i see are white/black.. where'd you get the blue..?

there's already a thread about this, should combine them both but yea, this is a blatant milking of the recent surge of HBB demand.. it wasn't like this for the 'Black Magic' ...but with the recent RG/CER edition and that other 'Tulga' thing.. they've hit on the proper combination to seduce the masses and yes that is exactly what is happening, people are being seduced because it is a deadly combination... Polished Ceramic + high reflective finish (SS or RG) ...I've aleady posted my thoughts on this but like I said.. it's a blatant milking of the demand.. as for the actual watch when people say "i don't get it" or "i don't understand" or "why has it won design awards" ...the answer is this as I said on a thread I made http://www.rwg.cc/members/Hublot-Big-Bang-...ion-t41366.html and let me quote myself "first off let me say.. the HBB has won design awards and whatnot and I can see why.. it's not because of their propaganda about fusion of materials.. the genius in the design is the combination of textures.. brushed, polished, ceramic, steel, smooth sleek lines and unforgiving sharp cut angles lead to an imnho, flawless presentation" the masses are being seduced and damnit they milking the price ... das the only reason/logic/justification i see for this price hike/bump least i got mine already

is that real? sorry, everytime i see a Rollie I feel like askin that question, lol ^^ and ouch on the cut, lol put the wii down get a ps3 ;P
