Guru1 Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 People hate or love this watch I asked Andrew last night on facebook regarding the B01 release and he posted this morning that it will come in the next view days with 16 different dials. Stock should be available around 2/15 With this statement I believe it could be ready after CN which will start 14th of feb and end almost by the end of Feb

It is a beautiful watch I think a saw one with white dial and brown leather bracelet somewhere.....
therooster Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 nice... but will it have a sunken date? That's what I'm looking forward to finding out...
spooky driver Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 pity he didn't sneak you a wee preview.... i cant wait to see it.
Guru1 Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Posted January 29, 2010 nice... but will it have a sunken date? That's what I'm looking forward to finding out... I believe it will have a sunken datewheel, It will be the same movement which is used on PAM250 and HBB's Don't beliebe they developed a new movement
Guru1 Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Posted January 29, 2010 Just got confirmation from another dealer that this will be available after CNYand we will see them in the TT range as well
fijiman Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 i am psyched about B01... I hope they come out with diff dial colors as gen... @Guru1, what does TT range stand for?
Guru1 Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Posted January 29, 2010 i am psyched about B01... I hope they come out with diff dial colors as gen... @Guru1, what does TT range stand for? 2tone which is ss/ gold

The only thing that would irritate me more than a sunken DW is herpes. Anyway, let's wait and see... As you know, guru, our watchmaker is refusing to raise any more DWs for me!!
Guru1 Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Posted January 29, 2010 What's a sunked Date Wheel? It is what the name says, a sunken date wheel. Due to the constuction of the movement with the min counter on 3 position, the datewheel sits lower then on the gen. The modification to transfer the min counter from 12 to 3 position is done above the date wheel. Movement on the left shows the transfer gears, movement on the right is gen Eta 7750, Can you see the sunken date wheel now ??
Pix Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) nice... but will it have a sunken date? That's what I'm looking forward to finding out... Not sure, but I've been told a gen has been dissected to replicate it, and that it's most probably the best replication of the year... Oh, and I forgot, it's almost 1:1, as you can mount a gen bracelet on it. Edited January 29, 2010 by Pix
Bike Mike Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 Mount a gen Bracelet to it? Don’t get why someone would spend $1400 on a Gen bracelet for a rep.
Bike Mike Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 That was some kind of humor... I believed We can both put money on it that someone will do it.
Anopsis Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 it's most probably the best replication of the year... You mean, the year-to-date? All 29 days of it?
fijiman Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 im looking forward to it now.. Im going to hold off on getting new rep until i get word on B01 now!! yay!
Agrippa Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 Any word regarding price? Hopefully it won't also be the priciest rep of the year....
fijiman Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 like any new prod.. initially my guess it'll be high and then 6 months later.. it'll come down... <<Hint Hint - iPhone>>
newton78 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 It's not only the sunken datewheel, I think also the subdial spacing is different on the new B01 compared to the modified asian 7750 usually used here.
Bike Mike Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 It's not only the sunken datewheel, I think also the subdial spacing is different on the new B01 compared to the modified asian 7750 usually used here. It is, but they should be able to over come that as they did on the POC.
importr Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 I'm just hoping that they at least get the date font right! As its not the usual Breitling font...
