tgchrono2 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) Sorry for all the owners of Hublot BB with ''ceramic'' bezel, but its only ss bezel with PVD coat....... Edited June 19, 2007 by tigerdaytona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalayclass Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I have mine and I can tell you it's not pvd but ceramic. The full ceramic model is in pvd but not the ceramic bezel. Don't say things when you don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't say things when you don't know phew! if this turned out to be another mis-representation, i think there would be a total riot with some VERY angry customers (we thought the B&R situation was bad -- this watch cost at least 2x the B&R) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo1nah2a Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 No misrepresentation here. Dealers said that the case is pdv and the bezel is ceramic. Which is what they delivered. BUT it is not 1:1 to gen, since the gen has both case and bezel in ceramic. I doubt they will be making a ceramic case, so, for anybody in love with the BB ceramic, he should go with this model.

tonton2000 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 The bezel IS ceramic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Mellow yellow is the only way to go. Proper ceramic bezel (as are all the ceramic bezels) and SS case - as it should be and complete with all proper markings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OiRogers Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 As someone who is getting the funds up to purchase a HBB rep.. I'm curious.... what makes Tigerdaytona state that the bezel isn't Ceramic?.... This could decide between the stainless.. the ceramic and the *mebee* forthcoming black magic... Either way I'm not too upset... I love the look of this watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 The bezels are ceramic. The process of making ceramic case is far more involved and expensive. I would bet you will never see proper rep of any ceramic case HBB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 @Kruzer)) I wouldn't bet against anything when it comes to reps.. but I agree it might be a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertieng Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Ceramic or not ceramic, it is not too different to tell. Just take out the bezel and feel the weight. Ceramic is much much lighter than steel. True ceramic has an extremely high resistance to scratches, so you can try this out if you dare. Now comes to the cost, ceramic itself is not very expensive but the molding process and technology involved is. Personally feeling, even at a price of $6K, doubt a true ceramic bezel is justified in view of the production complications involved not mentioning the cost for other parts of watch and the profit needed to make. So now, anyone is brave enough to go ahead with the "Ceramic Test"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
