  1. best watch I've ever owned and didn't get mine from Josh or Andrew
  2. maybe they targetted their webhost, isp, etc etc a lot of ways to attack someone on the internet really
  3. I can say 100% that no picture captures the polished I have taken a zillion pics of my HBB posted most of it and not one picture would I submit as a representation of the polished ceramic the problem is the pictures are totally lifeless.. it does not capture the rich sheen of the ceramic.. I've said that long ago whenever i post my hbb pics, no picture thus far captures it because it's totally lifeless heck, you can't even see the sheen really -.- in my shots, I often notice that pictures are lacking in the richness of the blacks.. it simply does not capture it.. the only time it comes close is if i enable the flash such as in but that only shows how rich the ceramic is.. it's obsidian really, but it doesn't capture the mirror-effect.. this one shows it a bit on the 5'oclock marker showing a little of the FM .. but again, imnho, it's lifeless.. the polished ceramic has an effect where the slightest movement of your wrist makes things dance on the surface.. not even Hublot's genuine pics show it off gen pic of hublot, looks airbrushed -.- anyhows, to me... the only HBB's that ever appeal to me -has polished ceramic bezel -black magic -all steel HBB but given the option of polished vs brushed ceramic... polished, every single chance
  4. which one..? polished or brushed? and if you're struck by brushed cer.. did u see the polished one? cuz pictures do not do it justice.. it's literally a mirror-finish that captures whatever it may reflect.. it's hard to describe, it doesn't bling it just pops.. it pops out
  5. :X i.. guess it's personal preference on my end..? i don't have a brushed ceramic so i can't ... i guess it's the same as brushed-vs-polished SS, i prefer the mirror-finish but yea, the polished ceramic is highly.. highly sexy
  6. yea supposedly the Hublot CEO himself went after the manufac's.. and imnho polished ceramic > anything if you have a HBB and have it with PolCer.. the quality is undeniable
  7. I'm surprised he has posted an actual watch when was the last time Angus has done that? welcome back to teh king!!! and i am so wanting that PP with the diamond markers... omg someone buy my montblanc TW or something, lol... HELP I can't get another watch... i only have one wrist! Grr Argh!
  8. you traded for the vc? you're a panerai gal, you should appreciate the MB TW more!~ if u ever wanna trade, let me know vic!
  9. pretty much the only "explanation" that makes sense really I'm in the same boat... received an amazing Montblanc TW which is so accurate and good that people have been selling it on the bay as gens and people don't realize they being scammed but it's gotten 1 day of wrist-time from me -.- lol I think two factors affect it, well.. 3 really 1. the biggest factor: I received a FM Conq 2892 at the same time as the MB TW.. 2. I have a HBB and UPO which get most of my wrist time 3. I guess it's just not my "thing".. it's panerai style design just sits huge on the wrist and it just isn't my thing.. lol we should trade my mb tw for your vco
  10. I actually prefer the classic simple minimalistic design of the non-chrono TW I think this watch is getting this injustice of no-wrist time because it had the misfortune of going up against my HBB and UPO along with being delivered literally at the same time as my FM Conq 2892.. I've only worn this TW once, lol.. then again I haven't even worn the Conq ^^ it's kinda small on the wrist.. I think I've gotten used to the HBB/UPO size
  11. I think everyone's interested in AR
  12. the thing with the breitlings is that it's busy by design so i'm not drawn to it at all.. they only have like one "classic" non busy design, the Superocean imnho.. and i don't have one probably never will.. ..probably
  13. ....my detail oriented eye has picked that badboy out! THAT IS NOT THE REP CALF LEATHER.. what sexy strap is that? details please... where u buy? what kind? nice orange stitching.. price? DETAILS ah needs info pls
  14. $800 for a rep? (at the time it wasn't but I always round my finances up).. are you kidding me?!?!?! As much pull as the Black Magic had, I was able to resist all the hbb-effect until pretty much got mesmerized... and that's all she wrote as of now, besides my UPO which is strictly for bad weather/or/outings (cuz I'm in NYC and I ain't about to have a magnet on my wrist for safety reasons ), this is my most often used watch
  15. why you guys still waiting for this? didn't they already say that the project has been postponed *INDEFINITELY* ??? that's the same as saying they scrapped it .. am i missing something?
  16. wouldnt this be better as a poll or something? -.-
  17. truth of the matter is the factories are sitting on a goldmine if they ever rep the bracelet and sold it aftermarket cuz you damn well know every single HBB owner would buy the bracelet on TOP of the HBB they already have $$$$ if they so wanted to
  18. -Rolex "SummerBlue" sub if you got it (need you a beater that'll be safe to swim with/etc) -H B B (duh, this is your blinger for whatever/whenever) -Montblanc Timewalker (for latenight on deck dancing/etc)
  19. this is my last spending $$$$ this year... i've shut down my spending for 2007 but my last 'project'... is this gotta get this cryssie and have a modder mod up my UPO ^^
  20. lol order mine!!! kiddin, jus a little :X i'm breaking one of my major rules (buy only what you will wear and never for "display" purposes only) and the main reason why i've shut down spending for the year -.- my thing is basically.. enjoy the watches, i'm not a 'collector' who'll throw them in a display case and just have it sit there.. i actually want to enjoy wearing my watches my collection stood at two which got awesome wrist-time... UPO and HBB but I wanted an all-ss watch.. that's where the timewalker comes in, but a twist of fate landed me a fm 2892 conq.. and both watches arrived at the same time woe is me.. woe is me.. 1 wrist... too many watches, lol and thanks about RH3.. gonna keep my eye on the lookout when I see that movie, I heard it's a good movie ps: and Chris Tucker would *SO* wear a MB TW.. it's got bling and it's in your face and makes people go, "Woah" without being overboard with bling.. totally him so I'm not surprised, man got style
  21. just want to give a big thank you to Stephane, you're right it is push pins, LOL ^^ sizing was a breeze once you realize it ain't tiny screws.. now if only my FM Conq was that easy... i just resized both of them and considering i have no vice or anything, that Conq took me out for a whoopin, lol but got it resized as well ^^
  22. I can see why.. it does have that paneraish quality to it (big big dial face that's pretty plain) i mean, it's not a bad watch by any means.. i was just surprised by it like i said... i usually let the novelty wear off and get it some wrist time before i post my impressions ^^ but right away the dial took me by surprise (great watch tho!) ps: thanks for the tidbit about panerai designing it for MB ^^ nice little info that explains the design.. learn somethin new everyday
  23. gonna post pics of the MB TW I received.. initial impressions are... the dial is huge seriously.. big... big big big dial... not what i expected :X maybe even too big anyhows i'll post wrist shots later... it's definitely an interesting piece, but the size of the dial face caught me offguard, didn't realize it'd be that big full on impressions after a few days.. gotta let the novelty wear off and get it some wrist-time.. see how it is
  24. thanks Stephane, gonna go check it out later i was for sure 100% it was screws last night, LOL shows how off i was
