Guest Sql_pl Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 So it arrived today. Been thinking about getting one of these ever since they were released.... but never actually pulled the trigger... there was always something else to buy first, was afraid how gold watch will look on me etc etc.... But finally got one.... bought it from King and received it today. Here it is with its close relative: And here is a whole trio: Now back to the watch... what surprised me is the fact that it did not give me that WOW feeling when I opened the parcel. After all the reviews of this rep I think maybe I was expecting too much. I mean there is nothing wrong with the watch but somehow I don't really hear it calling my name now since it's here..... Maybe it's because it is y third HBB... and actualy second this year already... maybe I got bored... maybe with all the reps we see here it is getting harder to get impressed... I am not sure. What I plan to do is to test drive it for like a week and see if I can get used to it (my biggest concern is if gold fits my style) and we will see what next. Right now I have to honestly tell you I feel like I prefer my SS version. Sorry for the quality of the pics, will take some nicer ones outside tomorrow.

geo1nah2a Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Maciek, wear it well friend. I am sure it will grow on you. It is THE HBB to own. Well, at least until a All Black is released I am not a 'gold' man either, but this watch is balancing the glitter of the gold with polished and textured black parts in a unique way. In the beginning it felt too 'colored' for my tastes too, but trust me, it is going to settle down After a while, the SS/BC will look less interesting, like an Audi A4 compared to a S4 Here is a motivational picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Maciek.....I saw a lot of your posts in the last weeks or so....and I allways felt the same when reading. I Believe I am the same kind of watch-freak you are....seeing the gold-watches gives me a kick but I allways thought if such a piece will sit correctly on my wrist and speak my language of style. My conclusion was: the gold versions will not do it for me.....I am just the well dressed, casual but stylish type o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Some new pics: Well OK, I guess I like it a bit more after wearing it for a day The polished ceramic bezel is a killer... no pics can do it justice. Still not 100% sure about it's future though. As for the Gold Mat - I was thinking intensively about that one but when I looked at other members' pics it seemed way too shiny... and the dial color seems to be off... with me being as anal as I am I decided it is a no go for me. The case had that sparkle that just should not be there. But please post some picd of your Platinum Mat when you receive it Theo, it is always great to see some pics of a rare rep. @George - yuo put it perfectly with "it felt too 'colored' for my tastes" quote. This is exactly how I feel about this watch right now. But OK have to admit... was at coffee heaven today an under their halogen lights... it had a LOOK.

MADRED7 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Picked it up from the post-office this morning....some quick shots of an understatement-watch...a beauty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Great watch Theo, congratulations! It really is an interesting and original piece. I am not sure if I like that light dial but it surely has that something. Wear it well my friend. In the meantime I just sit here and wait until someone gets a Gold Mat Bang and takes some nice daylight pics.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraithride Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 What a beautiful watch! I fell in love with the Big Bang even since it came out, and it was featured in a watch magazine as the leading article. The newest one you just got, is the color scheme that I REALLY would like to have. I think you made a great choice. How is the pricing on Kings watches compared to others? I emailed Josh for pricing on the gold/black/CF, and it's over a grand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Forget Josh. Try others and you will get it almost one SS Big Bang cheaper. No soup for Josh with his pricing and attitude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like King has it for 930 shipped... Still hard to swallow, but it's at least under four digits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Bro....the watch looks fantastic. However, from the pics it seems that the rubber strap clasp is black PVD coated. If I am not mistaken, the gen has the clasp in Rose Gold. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 It is just as it should be, rose gold outside, PVD inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikellem Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 My opinion is rep gold looks cheap! I like SS better! I will not own any gold reps... Just my 2 cts. MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
