WTF!?! HBB Ceramic Bezels

[Willith]

Here's a PT offer for a HBB ceramic bezel:

PT's HBB Bezel

Here's one one Time Zone FS:

TX Offer for HBB Bezel

Now, does anyone see anything familiar about these offers. I can give you a hint it's not the $500 difference in price. So, this dude on TZ, does he need busted?

[Willith]

I reported the guy on TZ, it looks like this guy has a whole 1 post there, so it just screams scam.

[eunomians]

The damn bezel was released just the other day, I bet that JasonNYC doesn't even own it yet since he used a dealer pic.

The sad fact of the matter is that this scammer is one of us.

Hey, how about making a quick $300 for beer money?!?? WTF

But, you need to remember, according to his quote it is "a bery FRAGILE substance." Any questions?

I saw this on TZ yesterday and only made the link with Angus' listing (and pics ) today

I noticed the TZ scam merchant got shot down very quickly with someone posting "don't buy for $800! aftermarkets cheaper elsewhere".

Since PT is selling at $300, this ***** was looking to clear $500 a time - probably would from some of the HBB-owning TZ lobotomised snoots

if PT realises he will ask himself why not selling the bezels at a higher price..when his buyer is going to resell bezel for profit.

bad bad bad....

That's more expensive than my lite version (PVD coated SS bezel) itself...It's meaningless

Oh, and an other point :

- my lite HBB = 250 USD

- double AR coating = 55 USD from K2222

- this "gen" (or call it like you want) bezel = 288 USD

TOTAL = 593 USD, let's say 600 USD

"Ready to use" HBB with ceramic bezel from PC or TT = 968 USD

Still anyone believing that the "full" HBB was is not a scam ?

Since the light version has been out, there was this doubt about why HBB reps were so expensive : movement ? AR ? Bezel ?

Now we know... And it's none of the above 3.

I was just about to post that...and note the TZ guy's markup is less, too.

The biggest scam of all: a watch nearly identical to the modded watch you describe above except with a swiss made movement, boxes, paper, and warranty. $11,000!

Jes, but Hublot been bery bery good to me.

I was wondering about this myself and reading comments from many different sources. No dealer when ask is answering that question. Looks like I'll be going pix's route and saving the $300 bux for another watch.

[Watchmeister]

Does that make my Swiss HBB with ceramic bezel worth $11,000? Oops, no box and papers. I will settle for $10,500.

[Dutchy]

Well done W (and others if there are any), the post was removed!

is it easy to remove the bezel (to change to ceramic) and the crystal (to do the AR coating)? Has onyone done it? please post the simple instructions if you have it.

Mmm... that's not the question really. Easy it is, for the manufacturer.

And I'm sure I'll find a dozen of candidates doing this here for 300 bucks...

K2222 kindly proposed me recently to pop up the crystal for me without additionnal cost, during one of his AR runs. And I'll do it, sooner or later.
