triplehd Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Damn, did I make a mistake by purchasing a Heritage? I guess I can always buy a spare dial (hopefully). If not, just buy a brand new watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSlayer Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 There is a significant difference: The HBB bezel is solid ceramic. Most of the watches that advertise themselves as having ceramic cases are actually stainless steel with a ceramic coating (similar to PVD). I'm not saying that the cost of the HBB bezels is justified, only that it requires a substantially different process that the typical "ceramic case". Damn, I didn't know they use ceramic coating over steel I was actually referring to the J12 full ceramic reps. Surely they have more ceramic in them than a bezel and some of them cost less than the HBB ceramic bezel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Pix Posted Today, 09:50 AM Good to know, as I only could judge the Porsche and HBB by myself. I was wondering about quality after I read D4M's review of the newest Graham, which attracts dust d4 reviewed a Graham by a different maker than the Graham Oversized Chrono fighter.. the Graham made by the maker of the HBB and the just released Chopard is first rate,, no dust collecting on my Chopard..it started with the 06 IWC CD.. that seemed to have been the turning point for the rubber straps..IMO Pix Posted Today, 09:50 AM Lani, I think you just discovered my disease... Look at your Montblanc watch or pen, you'll most likely see my name on it, indeed... NO DOUBT.. ... well if another MB comes out soon .. the review and pics will have to be "honours" to you..

FxrAndy Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I just wish they would make the MK XVI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I might be excited about these,I guess, but it depends: RO seconds @ 12, skyland, 1911 BTR: could they be working on some sort of module to put on the asian 2892? Let's hope so, because otherwise those reps are going to all have pusher/crown/subdial position problems that can't be fixed. And aside from the AP, they're going to be $500 reps of $2500 watches. I guess the only one of the ones mentioned the heritage is nicest, but not as nice as the equally reppable and way, way better cost-ratio Fifty-Fathoms.

Jawo Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Andrew has told me that the Zenith Defy is in the works. This is the one watch I am really pumped about. The Concord C1 will be one I am gunning for too. I have tried to buy the gen through AD's in Canada, but no one has any in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolexman Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 IMO The Defy is one of the most ugly watches around. It simply looks too high-tec. It almost looks like one of those cheap kids walky talky watches .... Man I do hope the Skyland comes through! That's one hell of a looker, and off course the BTR. That one is on my list to!

Chronus Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Already repped but not available from our collectors, only Watchonpo ... when are we going to get the PAM194 in titanium instead of SS? It's not much more in price from Watchonpo... The genuine is titanium, and as some may remember, I like titanium What ever happened to Watchonpo's English division, etaworldgoods?

Guest Sql_pl Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Yes, what about Big Pilot? This is THE rep they need to make. And then a decent 5001. Not my cup of tea but a looker for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archibald Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Big pilot project abandoned. I figured as much. I hope some maker can figure out a way to put a datewheel on a 6497 or some other large movement...as long as they get the date in the right place, I can live w/ a faux PR.

Rolexman Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) King just launched the Ebel BTR.... Too bad they didn't replicate the rotor very well. Edited April 12, 2008 by Rolexman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raijor Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 they should do this version of the zenith defy extreeme Invicta has been able to copy and replicate the bracelet and case design so it should not be too hard for the rep makers to do the same. Very different and brilliant design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italiano17771 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 i hear they are doing some of the defy extremes, although the one pictured above i doubt they will ever do. that is zenith's tourbillion, which retails close to $100,000!! its a beauty though! i cant wait for the zeniths, concord c-1, and the new swordfish!! what an exciting time in reps!
