dadog13 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 here are the pics of the new released HBB all black...I am in no way expert of Hublots and I don't know the flaws of this one...however, I like it...but I wonder how many pieces could be sold of this one (1025$)?...I bet that more than 10 members won't buy it... however...here is the pic and link... HBB All Black
MADRED7 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 ...thanks for the heads-up. Yes the watch is really nice....but what is the price for.... a grand for a ceramic bezel??? WTF will this lead? I had one of the ALL BLACK
Mickey Padge Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 You can get a cheaper version of this watch here: http://www.timeshops.net/Big_Bang_Black_Ma...)__1329-669.htm It is not the same watch, different factory, but still a $600 saving is quite nice I feel Cheers!
MADRED7 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 ...good find....I heard from that dealer but never purchased from him.....and to be quite honest I don
Mickey Padge Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 Different strap maybe? Just the general finish may not be as nice? Still at least it's not over $1000, at $415 it is much more reasonable
V Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 LOVE IT... Too expensive.. I won't buy it. The history of this watch in 3 phrases.
dadog13 Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Posted May 21, 2008 I'll skip it too...will buy the ICE BANG...and will additionaly source a ceramic bezel...saw that somem members did that and the watch looks really great...the watch will end up costing half price of what King and other dealers are asking
andreww Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 Am I the only one that thinks its ugly and impractical?
Mickey Padge Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 big fault is the dw shoud be black on black. I was thinking about that, you could probably just paint over it with some slightly opaque black/grey paint, no? So that the white becomes the dark grey it should be..... Just a thought
DuDro Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 Uhhhh...What time is it? My eyes will go bad if I own one of these...Kind of silly in my opinion...the price and design.
Mickey Padge Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 You should see the genuine watch, with it's black font/black background datewheel, it is even more unreadable! My ideal HBB consists of a SS case, polished ceramic bezel, ice bacg dial/hands and a smooth rubber strap
MADRED7 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Posted May 21, 2008 I like the watch a lot...but like Kostas stated in 3 phrases.....LOVE IT....TOO EXPENSIVE....WON
archibald Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 ....from a distance it did not look different to a CASIO G-shock That's exactly right. The guy who owns the local AD wears one.When I saw it my first thought was, "this guy owns watch store and he wears a digital?" And don't forget for your $1000 you're getting the wrong materials except for the bezel.
Dani Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 I was thinking about that, you could probably just paint over it with some slightly opaque black/grey paint, no? So that the white becomes the dark grey it should be..... Just a thought I agree on that shoud be easy for a person whit a steady hand. Maybe its posibel to get a ekstra dw from seller when buying I love the senna ver but at over 1k, its of my list as is this one. Cheers
b16a2 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 Not the best looking watch I have ever seen, and imagine trying to read the time in a low light setting!
dadog13 Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Posted May 22, 2008 Not the best looking watch I have ever seen, and imagine trying to read the time in a low light setting! like you are wearing the watch to see what's the time!
Mickey Padge Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 I agree on that shoud be easy for a person whit a steady hand. Maybe its posibel to get a ekstra dw from seller when buying I love the senna ver but at over 1k, its of my list as is this one. Cheers Definitely would need a backup DW for sure I agree with you in that the Senna version is the nicer watch, but I think the price is way too high! Plus I would never buy a PVD case Hublot, it is meant to be a non scratch ceramic case, one scratch on the PVD and it's appearance is ruined..... SS case or nothing for me.....
Watchmeister Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 I would not buy that watch thinking I can repaint the datewheel. That would be an expensive mistake. Then again I don't think I would buy a watch amde out of all the wrong materials for $1,000 in any case. By definition it isn't even close to accurate. If the case really is ceramic on the gen one scratch makes this one worthless. I ma intrigued by the Plat mat. Obviously that one should be platinum. What do they do? Plate and brush? And if so I wouldwonder whether it is applied on PVD or old fashioned plated.
