Watchmeister Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Picked up this HBB in the secondary market on a lark. The only other one I have owned is the Mellow Yellow which Ziggy was good enough to rebuild a Swiss movement for. Unfortunately it wasn't "mellow" enough for me. It looks very different depending on the light (within the black to gray range). You can even read the date every once in a while. See what you think. Pictures are from my telephone so no cracks. This one obviously has the fantasy ceramic case back, engraved rotor but no H, etc. Overall though, a very cool black watch and very impressive on the wrist. I find myself looking down not to tell the time but to see how different it looks depending on the environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Finally some good pics of an All Black! Looks great! Managed to feed a black watch hunger with my Top Gun but this one is still high on the list! Wear it well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronos666 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Nice watch. You have a cat, don't you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Quite interesting, W! I've never really understood the HBB appeal, but this one does look intriguing. Must admit, it is very nice! But looks difficult to read... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 This is a neat piece. Like Ubi, I've never understood the HBB appeal either. Recently, though, I received the SS version for crystal removal and AR... And now I get it. It's a very nice watch up close and personal.

Watchmeister Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Thanks for the compliments. Yes, it is difficult to read but then again I have many watches which glow like a torch. We can all pretend we are looking at our watch for the time. But then again we all have a cell phone for that. I don't know who stares at their jewelry more - my wife or me.
