Lyndonville Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 I wonder if it will be expensive http://www.perfectclones88.com/0188-p-2977.html Probably will be, but, it won't work any better than the others as long as that A7750 is in it. It's like buying a 7 series BMW with a four cylinder engine that has burnt valves and worn out rings. All it would do is look pretty but blow smoke.

Guest Sql_pl Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 So the black Magic is here. Nice. They even repped the smooth strap: But I do not know which model is that. Did they want it to look like Ice Bang with that SS bezel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Interesting watch. I quite fancy it, but I suppose that it is too damn large for my 6.80" wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ximenes Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 This is one I might strongly consider purchasing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hmmm! I think I will stick with the Mellow Yellow though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Sometimes it pays to wait...the Black Magic and the 2007 CD (no rec room paneling on the back)....My take-the-kids-to-the-pool watches for this summer. BTW...let's hope they're using existing dials just for the pics of both ceramic BB's--both are wrong for their respecive models by a wide margin, although I bet it wouldn't be hard to remove, paint, and replace the numbers on the Black Magic. ON Edit: What are the odds that they used Ti on the Black Magic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I think that loud noise you just heard was Mr Biver self destructing when he saw these... and probably the entire population of a certain timezone forum too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovepanerai Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 don't get too excited the case on the Ice Bang and the Black Magic is made out of PVD coated SS rather than ceramics like the real one - you can easily tell the difference when you touch it and it also looks quite different - the best versions are still the regular SS HBB, the SS HBB with ceramics bezel and the Mellow Yellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maciek - this is supposed to be the Ice Bang - but the Tantalum bezel on the gen is darker than the SS used on the rep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Having had a good look over the pictures I'm fairly sure the new black case parts are actually made from steel with a glossy PVD type treatment, and not real ceramic like the bezel is. Check out the clasp, it would clearly be made from steel and not ceramic but has the same type of finish. Am I imagining this? What does everyone else think?

tonton2000 Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 It is PVD not full ceramic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I wonder why case ceramics are so much more difficult or expensive versus the bezel? In any case it reinforces my satisfaction with the Mellow Yellow. I will be revealing mine with a nice surprise in a couple of weeks when I am back in country and can snap a few pics.

jfreeman420 Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I don't like either of these new versions. They don't look right and scream fake IMO. I heard they are going to release a full gold version with the ceramic bezel. Any word on this? That is the version I will buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be revealing mine with a nice surprise in a couple of weeks when I am back in country and can snap a few pics. it is my understanding that the tooling and manufacturing of ceramic parts is quite complicated/expensive - Angus told me that the makers would not do it since the case also consists of several parts, unlike let's say the Chanel I agree on the Mellow Yellow - here is mine :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you telling us to get the "Real 7-series" AKA, the real deal instead? You're in the wrong forum pal In the rep world, all we're gonna get is a "7-series" outer bodied watch, and god knows what kind of engine.... whatever kind it is, it's still not the "7-series" engine... That all-ceramic one is a beaut... yummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossanti Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 What ever it is ..I think The All black or black magic..from your picture there..I would love to buy the yellow mellow.. is there any gen produce like the yellow mellow ??

Watchmeister Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Yes on the Mellow Yellow. Look at the link in my post up above. I have been to the store who commissioned it, examined the gen and actually chatted with the owners. It turns out it is very easy to commission an exclusive in the gen world. Simply commit to 20 pieces and decide how big you want the exclusive to ultimately be. In that case it is 99 pieces. They did 20 on the first run and have sold more since.
