  1. wear it well and enjoy! and if anyone dares confront you if it's fake or not.. tell them the honest to god truth and say "It's the best watch I've ever owned"
  2. wait wha stop who wahaa?! new hublot gold?? the Rose Gold HBB????? pics? pics? ^^ come on show teh goods off! ps: btw.. you're saying the cape cod took the gold right off the HBB? aww
  3. actually from talking to dealers, it seems this watch has been the most popular in terms of HBB editions so far, even moreso than the 'failed' Black Magic.. the amount of "pre-orders" that have come thru even though the dealers have mentioned that stock hasn't come in yet (until this past Monday) is more than surprising.. my personal reservations bordered on two things 1. the gold plating, but that's fine i'll risk it.. 2. servicing the watch ^^ but oh well, like i said.. none of the HBB's appealed to me until this one, there's jus something about this combination for my taste so.. conscious decision i made
  4. touche -hogs all the HBB to himself- ....now someone tell me why the reps don't have those kind of sexy bracelets boo hiss boo!
  5. I think everyone's watch choices is great and speaks highly of their taste/etc.. since this is genuine watches we'd buy if we had the $$ I know for sure I'd get a Hublot.. I'm 29 and there's just *something* about this watch that appeals very highly to me.. it's sporty, rugged, dressy, eyecatching, unpretentiously beautiful and completely enthralling -- all at the same time I mean.. how can one resist?
  6. I'm sure, I'm just curious what would've happened if you went and placed an order.. would the $600 be honored or would it be changed to "friend: hi,is usd 798 have stock" ^^ I'm jus curious, is all
  7. hmm, curious.. did anyone order that? I wonder what would've happened.. wonder if they really would get one shipped for that or whatnot anyone actually get that from King? $600 is indeed a 'bargain'
  8. if I had the $$$? Hublot no question.. but not the rubber strap the nice contrasting strap... seriously, i love the HBB styling
  9. even without reading the review let me add my thoughts and then i'll go back and read this from teh start.. The VC overseas imo is one of the *best* reps you can get.. it's understated bling and always catchy plus it has the nice cross symbol.. the problem with the watch is that it's dressy.. it's not a regular beater, at least.. not for me.. but definitely, one of the best out there! ./true
  10. I often see people mention EMS tracking as not being posted, etc.. exactly what does that mean? you check the tracking # and it says "No information for this tracking" ? LOL i agree EMS tracking sucks but man am i so anxious.. mainly because it's the HBB so anytime a dent that big in the wallet leads one down teh path of anxiousness bleh, humbug!
  11. boooo! how'd you get yours so quick -.- i'm hoping i get mine this week but oh well
  12. thank you ^^ I haven't had any regrets so far, only because of the sheer amount of information i digest before each purchase the sad part is I had my eyes set on a custom-pam project (custom painted dial) but right now that's gonna have to take a backseat for a bit.. lol $800 is a dent no matter how i balance my budget
  13. -closes windows fast and runs away- :X my wallet won't survive these jonesin.. lol
  14. yea, it's wrong ^^ everyone has it for around $800.. i read that too and that's why i contacted 'king' and inquired
  15. I'm in, i was gonna do it after i got my HBB but might as well cross this bridge now
  16. King? it better not be that cct... site cuz that price quote is the same, $800 $600 ya right..
  17. i gotta say the Rollie is simply timeless, classically timeless
  18. the moment you modify it, it becomes a "new watch" but it can never be genuine either.. just mnho
  19. I honestly forgot where I read it, who posted it in what forum or thread.. but basically.. someone got called out on a replica they had (NOT a HBB).. I think it was a Panerai or an AP ROO.. you know what the persons reply was? It's the best watch I've owned think about it for a moment, replica.. genuine.. does it really matter at that point when one can honestly say that to another? It's the best watch they've owned.. like you've said above your own genuine collecting friends have asked you where they can get one like the one you have, that is of the highest compliment believe it or not personally.. I hate that I'm buying one for this price.. because like we all know.. supply-demand dictates stuff.. and I don't want to see prices continue to go up.. but at the same time it is a conscious decision I've made get this 1 HBB .. instead of 2 PAMs or 3 or 4 other watches/etc.. the weird thing is we're all in this thing together and i don't see why people need to be at each other's throats for what at the end of the day, are replicas.. anyhows i've rambled a bit but whateva, I'm just trying to pass time until I get my first HBB
  20. pretty much the point in all my posts.. and it's such a simple concept too.. we see a ton of people who have 10+ reps each at $300-400 a pop and yet 1 rep at $800 is so ridiculous.. these same people are the first ones offering up their rep because it gets no wrist-time too so really, who wasted their money? I agree that the price is so high and should be lowered down but frankly I don't see the point of owning 20 different rolexes wearing one every day (what circle do you people have that nobody notices you wearing a different rolex/breitling/omega every day of the week?!) find what you like and know will wear and run with it, maybe that's why I haven't had a single minute of regret with my 2 reps purchased (1 UPO for myself, my daily beater and a RolYM for my dad as a gift which has even fooled someone who has a gen) the funny thing is it's all about price too.. I think that $500 is truly the sweet spot for everything (ie: PS3 was selling decently at $599 but at $499 it's become sold out everywhere) .. if these HBB's are sold at $550, there'd be so much demand the factories wouldn't be able to keep up.. Regret? I don't know the meaning of the word and yes I will post pics once I receive my HBB cuz well.. people want one but just don't want to buy it
  21. truth be told, I think Omega will soon surpass Rolex as the 'rep of choice' ...due to numerous reasons -it looks sexy (then again so does the sub) -oversaturation of the Rolex sub (check that thread of the guy vacationing and nobody even looks at a rolex anymore) -Rolex 'image' being that for the older generation -Omega having a younger more hip image etc etc.. ultimately I think that Omega's hit a gold mine with the Planet Ocean line.. so yea, we all win in the end competition is good for the 'consumer'
  22. yea, can't explain it myself really never was interested in HBB at these prices even when the "Black Magic" came out.. but there's something about this particular piece I had to have in spite of all the things wrong with it -.- but like I said, I guess I'm not as big a collector as some of y'all.. ...either that, or I just choose to spend my money more strictly, ie: get 1 Hublot at this ridiculous price than get 2/3/4+ PAM's at $400 a pop
  23. btw jus wanna say that's the 'tricky' part about gayfolk taking up Panerai as "their watch" ...it's not so much that everyone will look at us and see us wearing a PAM and think, 'oh he's gay'.. it's not about that.. there's a reason it's a "gay radar signal" basically it only applies to OTHER gay men, lol.. to them it's a signal, but to your local average joe.. it's just a cool looking watch so just wear whatcha like and if you get some guy wearing another pam hitting on you, well.. cross that bridge when you get there but yea, it's only a gay signal to other gays but for the rest of the world .. PAMs are jus another cool lookin watch
  24. I myself am ordering one.. -do i find it overpriced? yes -am i aware of the crappy 'innards'? yes -gold plated? yes etc etc etc, it doesn't really matter.. i'm not interested before in Hublot until this one.. and frankly, i cannot explain it it's like art, or poetry.. when you explain it, it becomes banal, more important than the explanation are the feelings and emotions are the things it reveals in the eyes of someone open enough to understand it that's what this HBB is to me.. there's just "Something" about the combination and colors and style that speaks to me.. and $800, as pricey as i admit it is.. isn't really that much considering how many reps i buy (aka not as much as you other folks) my main worry are these: -servicing the movement -having someone who knows about Hublot, see the beauty of the wrist and basically know you wearing a fake cuz there's no way you wearing a $10,000+ watch... right? right? :X LOL but i already got an excuse for that, it's just a movie prop for a movie we're makin on youtube
  25. it's the other way around, I'm actually very informed and btw, The Zigmeister did not say the watch is crap, he said the inner details were not up to par, basically he said the outer materials are ferrari quality and inside's bad you guys make it out to be a condemnation of the entire watch, but that's not even the point the point is, i find it ridiculously stupid for people for example to buy 6 PAM's at $400 a piece... and have it sit and gather dust, maybe that's the collecting aspect, i dunno but i see that as wasting $1600 or maybe even more anyone who buys this HBB has a showcase piece which will be worn .. hey like someone else in the thread said who already bought a $400+ pam, the HBB is jus like buying another anyhows, to each his/her own, but from someone who calls it as he sees it, i just don't understand why people can drop $1200 for 3 reps only 1 of which actually gets worn but would visibly flinch at the mention of an $800 HBB which they would die for if sold at $400
