If they can release this at $500, why are the other BB models still over $1000? Baffles the mind..

Have to admit, I thought the exact same thing.

Nice! How does the AR compare to the GEN?

Nice watch. Growing on me. Looks nicer on a strap IMO

+1

Touche'

Mark, The OP was asking who had the best Hublot RG/ceramic version. The one he was referring to is not. I personally own the one I linked to, which I bought from you. It's a very nice watch for the price and IMO its a much better deal than the V3. I understand the costs involved with buying two watches (V1/V2) and combining parts, which leads to the higher price. But its still not the most accurate model out there. In all honesty, the best version, is the one that most dealers are selling for $1000+. I just don't know how the factories can still justify the high prices of these and every new Hublot coming out.

This is the low beat version mixed with some parts from the high beat (strap/deployant/rehaut ring). It is so not "PROFECT". CF dial is not textured enough. AR is eh... Date font is too bold. and it's over-priced. IMO the lower priced 21.6K that Mark sells is a better deal. http://www.timeshops.net/Big_Bang_CF_(RG_C...h_1312-1360.htm About the same watch and $200 cheaper.

Damn!! That Ingy looks hot on the Kevlar!

While I don't agree with most of what that article says, they do make some valid points. As good as the reps are these days, they are STILL reps and I have to agree, leave you (me at least) with that inner feeling of dissatisfaction. In the BS category I found this quite amusing: #3) "As a rule, people who purchase highly priced authentic timepieces find no reason to impress anyone as they already have at their disposal enough income to purchase many other expensive items and hardly feel the need to impress anyone with an over-expensive wristwatch." What a load of pretentious [censored]! Isn't this the reason why MOST people buy a "real" Rolex or whatever branded watch?

Also looks like they fixed the 6 in "16" but not at "6". I agree w/ Freddy. The original engraving looks overall closer.

Close. The thing that jumps out at me is the heavy/large font on the "BRETILING" and wings on the dial. But you'd have to have a side by side with a gen to notice that.

Huh? That still doesn't make it a good buy. There are always dealers WILLING to charge more money than the next guy. They don't count HERE.

very fruity...

Wow!!!...between Hike's and mcloud's avatars I totally forgot what this thread was all about.

For those of you who think the 4 lume dot is a problem, how about the heavy and enlarged font on the "BREITLING" and wings on the dial? Beautiful watch BTW. Still waiting for mine.

Ditto: I personally am tired of reading threads like this. I believe the Admins have made the right decision. A plea to the mods....please end it.

Wow!! ......and Wow!! ($538) Seems like prices are so random these days. Skyland Avenger for less than $300 and this for more than $500. I just don't get it. ????

Haven't seen anybody else with this watch. Is it b/c of the high price tag? Enjoy your watch. I think I'll pass on this one. I'm boycotting the over-priced Hublots.

Anybody have the expensive version? http://www.pc-80108.com/cha10007-white-cer...rtz-p-1583.html I'd like to know what $370 more buys you.

3rd one from the top middle picture looks pretty close.

I agree. Looks like its missing the bezel around the pearl. Did it fall off? Looks Ok in previous pics.

Nice!!!! Look like the factories did a much better job with the AR on this watch.

Yeah, but the Word Association thread is still going. That's what's really important!!

Bought my GF the same watch with the diamond bezel. She loves it!! Very nice watch. The bezel issue is the same. She gets alot of "oh my God!! comments from her friends. Its one of those watches that most women know and want.
