giorgio Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Josh and Andrew have unveiled their newest "prize": The Big Bang King!! Though they have not listed a price, knowing them they will want $300-400-500 or more for this watch. Knowing that their both here on the forum right now, in the off chance that they might answer, I have to ask: Why would you put a 7750 into a watch that has no chronograph or complication? Is a sculpted and engraved rotor really necessary on a watch with a solid caseback? Heavy white gold plating on stainless steel? This watch should be perfectly replicated, with an $20 4813 in a steel movement holder for a total price under $200 (maybe in the $100-150 range) Just my thoughts.

longshot Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 there are already a lot of non-chrono reps that use the 7750. a lot. and i totally agree with two tone. if you don't like the watch, fine. not my cup of tea either. but calling out one of the most established dealers on the forums is just not necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UB7 Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Looks pretty decent, personally its too big for me @ 48mm.. but i'm not sure what gio said wrong? simply was stating his opinion which is more than likely going to end up being true considering they put a 7750 in it, and considering the regular big bangs are priced anywere from 500-1100..we'll just have to wait and see when its released. but it seems like the new price trends lately are a little to expensive for my taste. you could buy a nice gen for the price of 2 reps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 there are already a lot of non-chrono reps that use the 7750. a lot. Thats true, but they usually need the 7750 for the running seconds being moved elswhere, or a display back for the visual effect.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care who's in bed with whom. I did not say anything wrong, or make any offensive comments in this thread, so if you're not interested in discussing this watch then don't post here. As for "a lot of non-chrono reps" I'd love to hear about all the non-complicated reps that use 7750, 'cause that's news to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takashi Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 The pearl looks blobbed up Looks like a halfway baked piece but I am looking forward to the final result. I won't buy it for sure... It's a beast at 48mm and definitely I can't wear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robj Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Could be for the date maybe a 4813 or indeed ETA 2824/36 would need the date wrongly positioned. can't think of any other reason to use the 7750 it's not as if it's the greatest movement on earth!

a german in denmark Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 I rather like it, could well be my first Hublot.. and 48mm would look fine on my wrist. Now let's see if they can fix that pearl... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giorgio Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Just for the record - I do like this watch, and my questions are serious questions. I really do want to know if there is any reason why this must contain a 7750 instead of a DG4813 other than to justify a higher price? Is the engraved rotor really necessary when the resources could be put to better use (e.g. fixing the pearl)? Does the "triple wrapped white gold" really make a difference? Almost every white gold rep I've seen (mostly Rolex) did just fine with polished stainless (even the sandblasted bezel insert on the Yachtmaster). So are these things really necessary, or is it simply a way to justify a $300-400-500+ price tag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Another thing to remember with the 7750 running with a center seconds hand, is that it will not look smooth... In fact with a big watch like this, the jerky movement of the second hand will be even more evident Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
