UB7 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I was really excited for this one, and what made it even better was that it came on a Sunday...I think thats a first for me! Well, here it is..The ice bang light and man this watch is a BEAUTY!! The way this watch is finished is really incredible! The PVD on the case and the clasp has a sheen and polished finish and the dial and bezel are gorgeous! The black datewheel and the all silver hands is a really nice touch which I think sets this particular model apart from all the other HBB's...I have a ceramic polished bezel on the way from angus and I might see how it looks on the ice but i'll probably end up putting it on my PVD lite..Anyways, I have promised a bunch of people pics so here they are! wrist shot: And heres the genuine 1st generation ice bang with the tantalum bezel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 wow -- looks great. i like the combination of ss and pvd/black on this one -- very nice. quick question (hard to see from your picture) -- is the rotor engraved or does it have stickers? congrats on the new purchase deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UB7 Posted January 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 The rotor has the decal/sticker but I think it looks better than that engraved one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Thanx UB7 for posting so quickly! Oh man... this one just made it to the top of my wishlist! An excellent balance between the HBB 'presence' and a distinct subtleness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregers Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Any issues with the strap with this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc savage Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Well, that settles it for me. To clarify; this is the Ice Bang Lite, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UB7 Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 @doc - Correct, its the ice bang light - the only difference between the light and the 500$+ version is the AR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I don't get it. Why is that a "special" watch? What about it makes it different than any other watch? Just wondering. I like Panerai watches and people ask me that question. When I see HBB watches that's what comes to mind for me. They kind of seem like a hybrid of AP ROOs. I choose the AP. Other opinions?

UB7 Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Gil, i wasn't saying that its different than any other watch. The black datewheel and the all silver hands is a really nice touch which I think sets this particular model apart from all the other HBB's. I was just saying that the dial colors, the silver hands, and the black datewheel set this model apart from most others HBB's and make it unique in my opinion thats all..And i would agree with you totally, I love AP's, they are in many ways similar to the big bangs..I also love pam's all great watches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecrow Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I was thinking of purchasing the Black Magic but I may change my mind now......sweet watch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregers Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 It may not be quite as dramatic looking as some of the other variants, but I think that there is something more coherent about the overall design of the Ice. It is a really impressive piece. Is it widely available, yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
