geo1nah2a Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Once again, King is first to bring pictures of a watch that we'll see available in a few weeks: The HBB Senna, limited edition (not the Split seconds) and the All black, special edition for the second (hence the rose gold "2" on the dial) exhibition of the Tempus retailer. Both look very good. I will not hotlink any pictures.. You guys know where to find them. At long last, the HBB all black is just an order away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertb Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Thanks, I guess there are 2 sites. The link from this forum's dealer's section goes to a different site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UB7 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Wow, the all black looks nice..Looks like they improved the rotor aswel. The senna on the other hand is not so nice, not accurate at all :\ The price on the other hand is not so nice. I wonder if anyone here will buy 1?

I wonder if anyone here will buy 1? there are two versions of the senna, the one they repped looks almost identical. check it out here: http://www.thewatchquote.com/Hublot-Big-Ba...aco-No_6065.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc savage Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I don't care for the brushed ceramic either; might as well be brushed PVD. So they finally repped the All Black, right after I ordered my Ice Bang. Wonder why they decided to do the Tempus version? Anyway, I guess I'll have to stay tuned for the light or "2nd factory" version, IF I can wait that long. Lord, beer me strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 The Tempus is the first Big Bang to grab my attention. But at $900, the temptation has waned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 915$ wow. put a 1k'er on that and you have yourself a nice gen.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzanooo Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 These look nice, lots of attention to the model. Still way too pricey Imo. My contribution to the picky things on them is the datewheel back round color should be closer to the dial color. Not black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 There are some flaws in that tempus: - wrong caseback - bezel should be polished ceramic - datewheel background should be in dial color - datewheel number should be black And one thing I am not sure - I remember I've read somewhere at TZ that All Black HBBs come with no AR to make it even more difficult to read the dial - but like I said I don't know for sure.

z3k0 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 They had datewheel all wrong on all black ... what a shame And, why not do regular AB first ?? Well, let's hope for regular AB lite soon, I'm not giving 1k for this ... regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 What % of our dealers sales come through the top 3 forums? Maybe 70-80%, maybe more. Why don't they consult us on what we'd all buy a little more, spend a little bit more time getting it nearer the gens (surely knowing how anal we all are) and subsequently earn more money as a result of us buying. Going to be a fair few of these going cheap in about 3 or 4 months I think, as with these errors I'm not sure whose going to pull the trigger at that price. I'm going to call this one the Hublot No.2 as that's what I think of it.....all black now please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc savage Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I don't think it makes much difference; look at the "HOS" AP T3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italiano17771 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 i have nothing to back it up, but i highly doubt we make up 70-80% of their business. i would say its less than half. once they have a website up and running it only takes a quick google search for somebody to find what they are looking for. i have no clue if this is even close...just a guess.

doc savage Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Google searches are dominated by the Globalreplica type sites, however RWG shows up a lot. I suspect that the legit dealers depend pretty heavily on forum referrals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 The forums make up a tiny % of the dealer sales....... At least for the dealers with credit card sites anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
