rogerthat Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Waiting on this to arrive... BCE ; Slate Gray Dial with white "automatic" text My concern: this is the photo sent to me of the watch, now a few days later I noticed most of the date font shots from the new ulitmate BCE on other member's reviews have straight sticks for 1 not the sarif type 1 that seems to be shown in this image. What do you think, please advise? I am likely just paniked as I wait for this new toy ; but I did buy with the understanding this was the newest version BCE.

warburg Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 What is an "ultimate" BCE? This is not a term that the dealers seem to use on their web sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 It's the latest version. The one with AR, good date font etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rek001 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 mreynolds, just wondering, what is Ruby's price on your BCE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 (edited) Yes that the predecessor to the Ultimate. A good watch, but not the Ultimate one you are looking for. Below is the ultimate.... and a way of telling A quick way to tell is on the top sub dial. You see the number 10, directly after that is a mark, whereas on the predecessor there is no marker there. And the lack of AR. The two ways I use to distinguish the two, there are more, but they're the most obvious for me.

richard_uk Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Hasn't anyone told you it's been discovered that the movement in this watch, the old version and the new 'ultimate' is actually a miniature mouse running around on a miniature wheel, and the lume is controlled by 12 miniature mice holding miniature candles (not sure how they did the hands).

rek001 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 From what I've read, Trevor seems to be trying hard to establish a good reputation, but I understand that his knowledge of watches, movements and rep flaws is somewhat limited.

fakie360 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 he should be taking this opportunity to promote a fair business. he will surely gain market share here. i let him know politely when i emailed him back.. i am still interested in some of his wares. but really, even if he is a novice at movements, or watches in general, dont you think he would KNOW the difference between hes watch and the ultimate ? (it is SO clearly stated by his email) i am going to give him the benefit of the doubt for this time only. hopefully he can realize his mistake and we can move on.

rek001 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Sorry to say, I don't think he knows the "tells" to look for between versions. He had a vintage Daytona for sale on the other forum, called it Lemania, but in reality it had the old asian 7750. Not very confidence inspiring I'm afraid.

fakie360 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 (edited) So even if he doesnt know...he gets these watches from SOMEWHERE..and he then just blindly lists them as "ultimates"?? the same ones as josh, andrews..??? if he is really that clueless, he might have to get out of the rep game. regardless, he gets a chance to respond and clear his name.

rogerthat Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I cannot comment on Trevor's. But I received Ruby's and it is definitely the Ulitmate version, very strong AR present. Looks perfect, not crazy about the new leather strap though. I bought the watch with bracelet for $259 I believe and then another $20 for a extra black strap. These are delivered prices via EMS. I already had a Bob strap and will likely use that instead and just take the tang buckle from the new strap. For now it will likely stay on the bracelet though.... I may provide a review with photos, just need to find the time, let me know if anyone is interesting in reading more. Cheers, M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Good for you, mreynolds! That's a fair price for one with new asian 7750. Ruby is now added to my preferred dealers list. I'm making a few adjustments, if you know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitown Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I was under the impression that the font (on all versions including ultimate) are sticks? I brought this up to josh, who I've bought plenty of reps thru.... Question: any chance of the EVO getting a more accurate date wheel (better 1s, 6s, and 8s? Exact Answer: No, Current rep is great enough... joshua Two things it seems to lack.... and only to use picky sob's is the font and the laser etched #s on the bezel. Laser is much more defined on the gen. I am dying to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
