  1. You must be clairvoyant Toadtorrent... Day/Date Carrera in particular
  2. Well in this situation the caseback is sapphire and the gen doesn't have blued screws. ugg
  3. How to remove the blue paint from movement screws WITHOUT removing the screws? Is that possible? Perhaps place a tiny drop on the screw head and wait an hour while it slowly dissolves the paint? I'm nowhere near experience enough to remove the screws... I mean I could... but I'm not so sure they'd go back in. Ya know? (( I presume that just because you see a screw-head through the sapphire caseback that it's not always safe to unscrew it long enough to sand off the paint without something in a layer beneath going -pop))
  4. Man... what's going on in the UK? You guys arn't part of the 100 million viewers to watch the typical Superbowl?
  5. It's very impressive at the AD. Case size is way off. I'm considering a gen with this one...
  6. I'm pretty sure that Tag no longer uses that rotor on any of their watches any more either. Especially their new ones like the Grand Carrera and this new Day Date which is a pretty huge problem. I even see the classic Carrera's with the updated rotor (with the holes in it) at the AD.
  7. haaaa... that's funny! I'd have no trouble pulling that watch off until someone noticed that all's I drive is a crappy Ferrari
  8. I'm now nervous as crack [censored] on Christmas eve... I have the same Ice Bang Ultimate scheduled for delivery mid week based on tracking... First time with Puretime so I'm hoping it's a good one. I'll take detailed photos when it arrives. I have a 3mp digital microscope too so I'll be able to get in nice and tight...
  9. I agree with chronoluvvv... only thing to keep in mind is that the first thing you notice on the gen (well, most people notice) is the incredibly clear crystal. Hublot's AR practically makes people think your watch has no crystal... sometimes even do a double take. When the light does glair off the crystal is has a very deep colorful luster to it... not just clear glass. Anyway, the difference between the Lite and a double AR does affect the overall look of the watch. If money's tight... get the lite and wear it until you've had a good thrill and then send it off to one of the talents here on this site and have them do the AR. (I've seen many spontaneous media photos of Mr. Biver that include a casual wristshot of his BB... and even those unplanned shots make the crystal look invisible... I can see the hands and hour markers clearly from the 20 odd feet the photographer was standing away...sweet)
  10. The movement is known to be quite reliable and generally has a very good reputation so it should not be a concern. Like the gen, it is subject to a checkup every 5 years or so. Try to stay with the 28,000 beat version because it's the most up to date and runs closer to the gen. While I've heard rumors (never actually seen it) that a talented horologist from around these forums has managed to squeeze a Swiss ETA movement in... it's generally a pain in the butt due to the sub-dial locations and 4 o'clock date. From what I gather you can get it done if you find the right person and have two ETA's on hand... one to use and one to scrap needed parts from. Of course you would also have to contend with engraving the Hublot
  11. That is one thing about Hublot... they allow their watches to be customized out the ying-yang... good for both the gen and rep buyers. Something tells me it's probably found on a gen somewhere. The only thing of concern is that you don't end up with a version that's limited to five pieces and some guys complementing you on your $150,000.00 watch... with a gun in your kidneys.
  12. wow... good catch... it went from a "cool looking watch" to a "fantasy watch" just like that...
