Jaymoi Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hi All, Can anyone here give me any pointers on how different the HB Ceramic looks to its Lite cousin? I know that the bezel on the Lite is PVD coated, how different does it actually look from the Ceramic bezel? Thanks! Moi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hi, I have reviewed my lite version : maybe you would like to compare my pictures with the ceramic pictures. It looks definitely like ceramic, but has smooth edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZainoDetail Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi, I have reviewed my lite version : maybe you would like to compare my pictures with the ceramic pictures. It looks definitely like ceramic, but has smooth edges. As I'm also looking t make a HBB purchase and can't decide between PVD and Ceramic I've been looking for good comparisons as well, however what I found interesting is that UB7's PVD bezel came with the knurled sides like the ceramic has. Not sure if this is a later update making the newer PVD versions look even closer to ceramic or if different suppliers are providing different bezels? Also in looking through posts on timezone many of the factory ceramic bezels look brushed at certain angles and clearly polished in other pictures further adding to the confusion.

Pix Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Mmm, worth being investigated. As the next step is to know if we can get the thing separately... And also if what was sold as ceramic for one arm and a leg was really ceramic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UB7 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Wow, when did the Big Bang King come out?? They look pretty nice, and probably affordable w/ the 21j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc savage Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Interesting... is it really 48mm? I think Narikaa has one of those. Here's one for a laugh: Big Bang King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc savage Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Here it is: Narikaa But I guess it is supposed to have the ratcheting bezel after all? Looks better with the H screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Jon Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I am also proud owner of the HBB lite with PVD bezel. Even with amazing coating from Jakub The onliest thing which makes me a bit unsatisfiedis that this bezel is not that shiny as ceramic -and the rest of the watch. Everything is blingbling and shiny, just the bezel is matte ... Thats a bit sad. It doesnt has to be for me ceramic, just the surface next to the saphire should be shiny and glossy as ceramic is. What you think, would it be possible to take it off and to paint or spray it with a varnish (or smt like that) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc savage Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 No; that isn't going to work! If you have the brushed finish PVD bezel with the serrated teeth on the outer edge, it is pretty darn close in appearance to the ceramic one: comparison If you really want the glossy ceramic look, you can always buy a real ceramic bezel. They aren't cheap though, at around $300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
